[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation (“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS) reports that geochemical results including 6.76 g/t and 5.02 g/t gold have been received from rock sampling at the Company’s 100% owned Panorama Ridge property at Hedley, BC. This sampling was part of a reconnaissance prospecting and geochemical programme undertaken in September 2022. A total of 54 rock samples were collected from outcrop and angular mineralized float during the programme and submitted to MSALabs for analysis by the 40-gram ICP-MS-112 multi-element method. The September programme focused on areas beyond those previously drilled. Between 2003 and 2008, Goldcliff excavated 6,198 metres of trenching and drilled 16,611 metres in 190 drill holes. Continuous and consistent grades over 0.75 g/t gold were encountered from surface to shallow depths up to 30 metres in two zones, the York-Viking and the Nordic. The two 2022 strong-grade float samples were from a zone named Skar, which is located approximately 900 metres southwest of the previously drilled York-Viking zone. Although this was a previously identified area of interest, at the time of Goldcliff’s last activity the area was heavily timbered with little outcrop. It has subsequently been logged which has provided access for more detailed exploration. These two Skar vicinity samples are from an area where a large boulder uncovered beside a new logging trail in 2013 assayed 2.37 g/t gold. When the area was revisited in September, 2022 the trail had been reclaimed. The angular nature of the 2022 float samples suggests a potential source nearby and upslope. Rock samples from float, taken in 2009, about 250 meters westward and downslope from the two Skar samples yielded 9.77 g/t and 14.57 g/t gold. Another downslope float sample taken in 2019, at about the same elevation, halfway between Skar and York yielded 17.8 g/t gold. Goldcliff’s geological team has developed a working hypothesis that York-Viking drilled mineralization continues as a flat lying zone to the southwest through the high grade Bonanza trench and extends at least 900 metres further southwest to the Skar zone and recent sampling. This hypothesis is supported by a review of Goldcliff’s previous geophysical surveys on th...
