Last month, White Cliff identified visible gold in bulk samples collected in December 2018 from its Aucu Gold Project in the Kyrgyz Republic.
The company undertook a bulk sampling program along a 450-metre section of the Chanach river alluvial terraces located 1 kilometre downstream from the Aucu Gold deposit.
The objective of the sampling program was to assess the placer gold potential of the 16-kilometre long river system.
Visible gold was detected in 62 samples out of the 65 samples collected.
The samples collected have been submitted to the lab for analysis with results expected in late February.
