Goldcliff Acquires Significant Position in the Aurora District, Walker Lane Nevada
08 Outubro 2020 - 11:00AM
George Sanders, President of Goldcliff Resource Corporation
(“Goldcliff” or the “Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS) is
pleased to announce an option agreement with Nevada Select Royalty,
Inc. (“Nevada Select”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ely Gold
Royalties Inc. (ELY: TSXV, ELYGF: OTCQB ), to purchase a 100%
interest in the Aurora West property located in Mineral County,
Nevada for a purchase price of US $425,000, payable over four
years. The Aurora West property consists of 51 claims and is
contiguous with the northwest portion of the main Aurora district
claims held by Hecla Mining Company. Hecla’s holdings include a
fully permitted, recently operated 350 TPD mill. The Aurora
district produced about1.9 million ounces of gold from low
sulfidation, quartz-adularia bonanza veins.
In the Aurora district, epithermal deposits form along a
pronounced NE regional trend. Bonanza grades were mined where these
north-east structures were intersected by north-south structures.
On the Aurora West claims, the Sawtooth Ridge target is located
immediately northwest of the northernmost bonanza vein deposits in
the Aurora district. The target consists of a large 1.5 square mile
area of high-level opaline, chalcedonic silica and argillic
alteration, hosted by rhyolitic tuffs, flows and shallow intrusive
domes. A series of northeast and north trending faults transect the
area. The target occurs stratigraphically and structurally above
the productive andesite host units of the main district, and may
represent the intact portion of the epithermal system, with
uneroded and unmined bonanza veins at depth below the high-level
alteration.
Goldcliff may acquire 100% of the Aurora West Property for a
total purchase price of US$425,000. Nevada Select is currently
optioning the Aurora West Property from a private company and
Goldcliff’s Option Agreement provides for the following
payments:
- paying Nevada Select US$25,000 at Closing (paid);
- paying the private company US$50,000 on September 13,
2021;
- paying the private company US$135,000 on September 13, 2022 (at
which point Nevada Select will take possession of the Aurora West
Property)
- making a final payment of US$200,000 to Nevada Select on the
fourth anniversary of Closing.
In addition, Goldcliff will reimburse Nevada Select US$9039 for
2020 claim fees at Closing (paid). There are no work commitments
associated with the Option Agreement.
The private company will retain a 1% Net Smelter Return Royalty.
The private company royalty may be bought down by 0.5% at any time
by payment of US$1,000,000. Nevada Select will retain a 2% Net
Smelter Return royalty. After all of the buydowns, the net royalty
burden will be 2.5%.
Limited shallow drilling was conducted on the Aurora West claims
in 1989 and 1990 by Consolidated Nevada Goldfields Corp. A drill
hole in the Sawtooth area intersected 3 g/t gold over a 10 metre
drill length at shallow depths. Although this mineralization is
above the favourable andesite host it is evidence of gold in this
portion of the district’s large hydrothermal system. The
mineralization appears associated with a NE-trending chalcedonic
silica rib that parallels the main productive bonanza veins of the
district. A follow up drill program was permitted in 2005 but never
executed. Goldcliff plans to verify this mineralization by drilling
a twin hole as part of its first drill program and will immediately
begin the drill permit process with the United States Forest
Service.
