Goldcliff Expands Surface Sampling to Advance Drill Targeting at Kettle Valley Gold-Silver Project

Rhea-AI Summary

Goldcliff Resource (OTC:GCFFF) announced an expanded surface sampling program at its Kettle Valley gold-silver project near Rock Creek, B.C. The work targets under-sampled areas in the North Cliff Zone to refine and prioritize future drill targets.

Recent work includes trail and trench exposure, rock samples up to 2.70 g/t Au and 181 g/t Ag, and confirmation of free gold. At the April 30, 2026 shareholder meeting, directors and auditors were re-approved and a 10% rolling stock option plan was confirmed.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2026 / George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation ("Goldcliff" or the "Company") (TSXV:GCN)(OTC PINK:GCFFF), reports that the Company has initiated an expanded surface sampling program at its Kettle Valley gold-silver project near Rock Creek, B.C. The program is focused on increasing sample density in and around previously identified anomalous soil and rock geochemical results, with the objective of refining and prioritizing future drill targets.

Background and Previous Results

Initial geochemical soil sampling conducted in 2021 outlined several anomalous trends, including a strong gold-silver soil anomaly in the northern portion of the Cliff Zone, now referred to as the North Cliff Zone. Reconnaissance prospecting and preliminary surface sampling completed at that time confirmed anomalous to elevated values, including:

• Rock samples exceeding 0.30 g/t gold (Au)

• Sample 21-35 returning 2.62 g/t Au and 181 g/t silver (Ag)

In November 2025, construction of drill access trails and four drill pads in the North Cliff Zone provided new bedrock exposure. Follow-up sampling confirmed the presence of free gold, with assays of up to 2.70 g/t Au, as previously reported in the Company's April 8, 2026 news release.

Subsequently, in early April 2026, Goldcliff completed a trenching program consisting of eight hand-dug trenches (5.2 to 22 metres in length) designed to create continuous bedrock exposure for mapping and sampling (see April 14, 2026 news release). Assay results from this program remain pending.

Current Program: Increasing Data Density to Refine Drill Targets

Following compilation and review of prospecting, trail exposure, and trenching data, the Company has identified significant areas within the North Cliff Zone that remain under-sampled.

The current program is designed to:

• Substantially increase surface rock sample density

• Improve correlation between gold-silver grades, lithology, and structural controls

• Enhance geological understanding of mineralization continuity

This work is expected to support the refinement of priority drill targets and improve confidence in drill hole planning.

Next Steps

Results from the ongoing sampling program, together with pending trench assay results, will be integrated into the Company's geological model to guide the next phase of exploration, including drilling.

Annual General and Special Meeting

At the Company's Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders held April 30, 2026, all items were approved, specifically the re-election of Directors, the appointment of Auditors and the Company's 10% Rolling Stock Option Plan.

FAQ

What did Goldcliff (OTC:GCFFF) announce on May 13, 2026 about the Kettle Valley project?

Goldcliff announced an expanded surface sampling program at its Kettle Valley gold-silver project to refine drill targets. According to Goldcliff, the work increases rock sample density in under-sampled North Cliff Zone areas and supports future drill hole planning and geological modeling.

What previous gold and silver assay results has Goldcliff reported at Kettle Valley's North Cliff Zone (GCFFF)?

Goldcliff has reported rock samples exceeding 0.30 g/t gold, including 2.62 g/t Au and 181 g/t Ag from sample 21-35. According to Goldcliff, follow-up sampling on new trail exposures returned assays up to 2.70 g/t Au and confirmed the presence of free gold.

How does Goldcliff's expanded surface sampling program impact future drilling plans for GCFFF?

The expanded sampling program is intended to improve drill targeting at Kettle Valley’s North Cliff Zone. According to Goldcliff, higher sample density and better correlation of grades with lithology and structure will guide priority drill locations and increase confidence in drill hole planning.

What work programs has Goldcliff completed at the Kettle Valley project before the May 2026 sampling update?

Goldcliff completed initial 2021 soil sampling, reconnaissance rock sampling, and 2025 trail and drill pad construction in the North Cliff Zone. According to Goldcliff, eight hand-dug trenches were finished in early April 2026 to create continuous bedrock exposure for mapping and sampling.

What were the outcomes of Goldcliff's April 30, 2026 shareholder meeting for GCFFF investors?

Shareholders approved all resolutions at the April 30, 2026 Annual General and Special Meeting. According to Goldcliff, this included re-election of directors, appointment of auditors, and approval of the company’s 10% rolling stock option plan, confirming existing governance and incentive structures.
