Goldcliff Completes 100% Purchase of Ainsworth Silver Land Position
01 Marzo 2023 - 7:30AM
George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation
(“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS)
reports that the Company has made the final payment to purchase an
additional 2,915 hectares of mineral tenures in the historic
Ainsworth silver camp near Kaslo, B.C. Details of the purchase
agreement were disclosed in a News Release dated March 1, 2021.
This purchase includes 295 hectares of Crown Granted Mineral
Claims, several of which underlie or are adjacent to target areas
in the vicinity of the No. 1 mine. The No. 1 mine was the largest
and highest grade producer in the Ainsworth silver camp, with a
recovered grade of 49.6 ounces per ton silver. Goldcliff now owns
100% of approximately 4,455 hectares, making it the largest land
position in this historic silver district.
The additional claims host several old prospect pits and past
producing small mines. The Ainsworth district hosted more than 50
properties from which silver-lead-zinc was produced from 1889 to
1964. Together with the nearby Sandon area in the “Silvery Slocan”,
the region produced 92 million ounces of silver.
Two earlier reconnaissance prospecting and geochemical sampling
programmes were conducted in 2020 and 2021 with a focus on the
southern portion of the claim block around the No. 1, Dellie and
Silver Hoard mines. In 2020, at the Silver Hoard, a black,
manganiferous breccia outcrop sample yielded 359 g/t Ag. Upslope
and west of the No.1 mine adit, a partially buried sample of rusty
angular float in a recently logged area returned 335 g/t Ag and
4.73% Zn. Two lithic drainage sediment (LDS) samples taken below
the No. 1 mine adit and below the mine dump yielded 825 g/t Ag and
498 g/t Ag respectively, with both also displaying highly anomalous
base metal values. In 2021, rock values as high as 1,381 g/t silver
and soil values as high as 218 ppm silver were obtained in samples
across old historic trenches upslope from the No. 1 Mine adit.
Sampling results from these two programmes confirm the higher grade
setting on this portion of the property.
Further exploration activity will be designed around the Direct
Shipping exploitation model. Ainsworth is approximately 120
kilometres from the Teck-Cominco smelter in Trail, B.C.
Goldcliff is a multi asset exploration and development company
focused on projects where a bootstrap development strategy may be
applicable. Current active projects include the Kettle Valley
gold/silver, Panorama Ridge gold and Ainsworth silver properties in
B.C. and the Nevada Rand gold/silver and Aurora West gold
properties in Nevada.
