Goldcliff Finalizes Drill Plans for New East Breccia Gold-Silver Target at Kettle Valley
Goldcliff has identified a new gold-silver target at its Kettle Valley project and finalized drilling plans for the site.
Goldcliff Resource Corporation (GCN) confirmed the identification of a new exploration target, the "East Breccia Zone," within the North Cliff Zone at its Kettle Valley project in a release dated September 14, 2026. The announcement follows a September 1, 2026 disclosure that first highlighted anomalous samples from the company's May 2026 program.
Surface rock sampling conducted in May 2026 returned elevated gold-silver values ranging from 0.46 to 0.73 g/t Au and 33.36 to 54.46 g/t Ag. The zone is characterized by carbonate-quartz brecciation and veining along fault zones, with a strike length potentially exceeding 50 metres.
Goldcliff Resource Corporation is currently evaluating logistical and geological priorities for a drill program to test the East Breccia Zone. The company noted that the project is already permitted for trenching and drilling.
Goldcliff Resource Corporation (GCN) released incremental news representing the next logical step in its surface exploration program. Samples collected in May were reported in early September and have now culminated in drill planning. The grades are modest for a junior explorer at this stage, averaging sub-1 g/t Au, and require drilling to define continuity and thickness.
The announcement reinforces the company's exploration thesis but does not materially alter its fundamental risk profile or valuation. This release fits squarely within the established exploration narrative, as the company has been systematically advancing the North Cliff Zone since late 2025. Trenching in April 2026 confirmed continuous mineralization and free gold confirmation in April 2026.
Goldcliff Resource Corporation (GCN) is a junior mineral explorer focused on early-stage projects in British Columbia. Its flagship asset is the Kettle Valley Gold-Silver Project, an epithermal low-sulphidation system characterized by confirmed free gold and electrum, quartz veining, and breccias. The North Cliff Zone is currently the priority target at Kettle Valley.
The company also holds other assets, including the Ainsworth Silver Project, which features a high-grade silver corridor, and Panorama Ridge, where gold has undergone non-cyanide metallurgical testing. Additionally, Goldcliff owns Aurora West and Nevada Rand, the latter of which is held under a 100% interest subject to a 2.5% net smelter return (NSR). No mineral resource estimates have been defined on any of the company’s properties, and all projects remain at the exploration stage.
