Goldcliff Resource Corporation has identified a new area of gold and silver mineralization at the Kettle Valley project near Rock Creek, British Columbia, following assay results from a surface rock sampling program across the North Cliff Zone.

The discovery stems from a cluster of three surface samples collected during May. Sample 18 returned 0.46 g/t gold and 33.36 g/t silver, Sample 19 yielded 0.73 g/t gold and 52.00 g/t silver, and Sample 20 returned 0.46 g/t gold and 54.46 g/t silver. Following receipt of the assay data, Goldcliff conducted a field examination and prospecting work that uncovered a distinct zone of carbonate-quartz brecciation and veining, designated as the East Breccia Zone.

Mineralization within the newly identified zone occurs in carbonate-to-carbonate-quartz breccias and veins along fault structures cutting feldspar-megacrystic rhyolite or granite. Field observations indicate the northerly trending and steeply dipping zone extends locally across widths of several metres and may span a strike length of more than 50 metres, remaining open to both the north and south. Overburden currently masks portions of the structure.

Goldcliff previously constructed drill access trails and pads at the North Cliff Zone in November 2025, which exposed additional mineralized rock. The Kettle Valley project operates under a Multi-Year Area-Based Notice of Work permit extended to March 28, 2028.

The project is currently permitted for trenching and drilling. Goldcliff is evaluating logistical requirements and geological priorities for a potential drill program to test the East Breccia Zone alongside other targets within the North Cliff Zone. Elsewhere in the surrounding district, Grizzly Discoveries Inc. reported drill results in July 2026, intersecting 1.0% CuEq over 13.68 metres and 0.357% CuEq over 44.55 metres at the Sappho Critical Minerals Target.
