[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation (“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS) reports that final preparations are being discussed with Goldcliff’s drill contractor for a maiden diamond drill program on the Nevada Rand silver/gold project, commencing in January. A “Notice to Conduct Mineral Exploration” was submitted to the BLM on December 3, 2019. Goldcliff has an option from Ely Gold Royalties Inc. to earn a 100% interest in the Nevada Rand property in Mineral County, Nevada by making staged payments of $250,000 US over four years. Most of the planned core drilling will be concentrated in the area of the Nevada Rand shaft. Holes will test for additional mineralization along strike to the southeast and along strike to the northwest. Underground mapping and sampling indicated that on the 250 ft level, workings extended to the southeast much further than on all other levels above and below. Near the southeast end of the drift there is some stoping above the 250 level. A sample taken from the end of this stope assayed 491 g/t Ag and 5.6 g/t Au. This area has not been developed by drifting on the levels above or below and is open both up and down dip. Three holes are planned to test this area. Another three holes are planned to the northwest. On the 150 ft level there is drifting in the hanging wall side of the zone that is oriented more east-west than northwest-southeast. Sampling at the west end of this drift yielded 356 g/t Ag and 11.65 g/t Au. It is unclear if this is a split of the main structure, a splay, or a second structure. This zone was not explored by drifting on the levels above or below. Drilling will test this zone and provide more detailed information about the structural setting in this area. Holes will be drilled from both sides of the vein zone. Although steeply dipping, underground mapping showed that the dip can change directions over short distances. The planned scissor drill pattern will provide a clearer indication of true width. One hole will be spotted 550 metres to the northwest of the Nevada Rand shaft in an area now called “Quartz Hill”. Several old reports described this area as intensely altered and identified it as a high priority exploration target. “Quartz Hill” was so named by Goldcliff bec...
