Goldcliff forms JV with Aussie miner

A subsidiary of Australian-based Newcrest Mining will buy a 60% interest in a porphyry copper-gold prospect held by Goldcliff Resources (GCN-V) in Argentina.

To buy into the Diente Verde project, Newcrest must spend US$4.8 million on exploration and property payments over four years.

Situated in the central province of San Luis, the prospect represents a 2-sq.-km alteration zone of disseminated sulphides and oxides hosted in Tertiary volcanic and intrusive rocks.

A total of 140 grab samples was collected at 1.5-metre intervals. Initial results from a 50-by-75-metre portion of the deposit returned 0.68 gram gold per tonne and 0.53% copper.

Drilling is planned.
