VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 9, 2024 / Goldcliff Resource Corporation ("Goldcliff" or the "Company") (TSXV:GCN)(OTC PINK:GCFFF) is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement ("Private Placement") consisting of (i) 2,250,000 units (each, a "NFT Unit") for gross proceeds of $78,750; and (ii) 1,400,000 flow-through shares (each, a "FT Share") for gross proceeds of $70,000.

Each NFT Unit is comprised ofone common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one half of one non-transferrable Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.05 per Common Share for a period of 24 months. Each FT Share comprises one Common Share which qualifies as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on February 10, 2025. No finder's fees were paid by the Company in connection with the Private Placement. The Private Placement remains subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").

Proceeds from the NFT Unit offering will be applied to property payments on Aurora West and Kettle Valley projects, and to general working capital.

Proceeds from the FT Share offering will be applied to exploration at the Ainsworth silver project as described in a news release dated August 7, 2024, and to further drill site preparation and sampling at Kettle Valley gold, as Canadian exploration expenses that are expected to qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), and which are expected to be incurred on or before December 31, 2025 and renounced with an effective date no later than December 31, 2024 to the initial purchasers of FT Shares. The two projects are located in British Columbia.

George Sanders, an insider of the Company, subscribed for 2,100,000 NFT Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $73,500 and 1,400,000 FT Shares for aggregate gross proceeds of $70,000. His participation in the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Policy 5.9 of the TSXV and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as a result of Mr. Sanders being a director, an officer and a "control person" (as defined under applicable securities laws) of the Company. The Company is relying on an exemption from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 available on the basis that the fair market value of the insider's participation in the Private Placement, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101, did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. Further details in respect of the Private Placement will be included in a material change report to be filed by the Company. The material change report will be filed less than 21 days prior to closing of the Private Placement as the extent of Mr. Sanders' participation in the Private Placement had not been settled and the Company wished to complete the Private Placement in an expeditious manner.

The securities being offered will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be offered or sold within the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements.

Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those forward-looking statements.

Accordingly, readers are cautioned that any such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
