2025 Site Preparation and Sampling
Construction of drill access trails and new drill pads completed between November 3 and 6, 2025 has exposed additional mineralized rock at the Kettle Valley Gold–Silver Project. Goldcliff’s objective during the November work program was to establish access to a ridgetop that forms the North Cliff Zone. This new infrastructure will allow the Company to test an extensive vertical range of untested targets situated above the 2022 drill elevations. Initial field observations along the ridge revealed abundant quartz and quartz–calcite veining and locally brecciated, altered intrusive rock.
The North Cliff Zone is sharply bounded by faults. The western margin is marked by a steep granitic rock face, while the eastern boundary is defined by a prominent gully interpreted to be another fault. East of this gully lies a K-spar megacrystic intrusive unit, which previously returned the highest-grade gold–silver samples on the property.
The presence of mineralization in both rock units indicates that the hydrothermal system at Kettle Valley is not restricted to a single lithology. Numerous north-trending and cross-cutting faults created permeable fracture networks and breccia zones that acted as pathways for mineralizing fluids.
