GOLDCLIFF CLARIFIES GOLD BASED CRYPTOCURRENCY PLAN
Vancouver, B.C. - At the request of the TSX Venture Exchange, Goldcliff Resource Corporation
(“Goldcliff” or “the Company”) (GCN: TSX.V, GCFFF: OTCBB PINKS) wishes to provide further
detail with respect to the Company’s plans to introduce a gold-backed cryptocurrency, as
announced in the Company’s news release dated December 7,2017.
The Company is considering all material aspects of a potential entry into the cryptocurrency
marketplace, and will be able to provide more detail as this review process evolves. The Company
is presently in advanced negotiations with a Blockchain advisory service provider to construct the
DirectRoyalty platform on Blockchain protocol, to advise the Company on the Initial Token Offering
process, and to recruit an internal a project leader. However, there is no certainty that an
agreement will be reached with that provider.
While the Company is not conducting an offering of any tokens at the moment, it is investigating
the possibility to do so in the future. If the Company decides to do so, it will determine and disclose
the terms of such offering at the appropriate time. The Company has been advised that such an
offering will be deemed to be a security for the purposes of the Securities Act (British Columbia)
and therefore the distribution will require either a prospectus or an exemption from the prospectus
requirement and to issue the tokens and to effect trades. The Company may utilize the accredited
investor exemption, the offering memorandum exemption or such other exemptions from the
prospectus requirement that are detailed in National Instrument 45-106 (Prospectus Exemptions).
If a token offering is completed, there may be trading of the tokens within the network. In such a
case, the Company will need to file a prospectus to permit the secondary market trading of the
token or alternatively apply for an exemption from the prospectus requirement for secondary
market trading. There are no assurances that such exemptions will be granted.
A token would not give the acquirer any equity or other interest in the Company equivalent to a
holder of common shares, including, for greater certainty, a right to participate in the profits or the
distribution of assets of the Company, or any voting rights in any meeting of the securityholders of
the Company. However, a holder of a coin would only be entitled to gold or silver as noted below
pursuant to the terms of such coin offering.
As the Company is still in the development phase with its Pine Grove gold project in Nevada, and
has yet to produce any gold, silver or other resources, a token offering linked to the production of
such mineral resources will be speculative. Although the Company has initiated a pre-feasibility
study on the Pine Grove gold project (see Goldcliff news release dated November 9 2017), until
such study has been completed, the potential to commercially produce gold from the property
cannot be determined.
To advance this plan a 2018 budget of $500,000 will be allocated to the DirectRoyalty platform
development and a budget of $2,000,000 allocated to completing the pre-feasibility study of Pine
Grove and ongoing permitting of the project.
When and if the Company issues tokens, the Company will receive cash for such issuances and
will have a long-term liability on its financial statements, which will require the delivery of gold or
silver if commercial production is achieved. Investors of common shares of the Company should be
aware that, depending on the terms of a token issuance, a holder’s token will be backed by gold or
silver, if and when commercial production is achieved, and after all gold or silver deliveries are
satisfied, the Company could sell any remaining resources available.
Paul Saxton, P. Eng. Director of Goldcliff is a "qualified person" under National Instrument 43-101,
and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news
release.
