White Cliff Minerals (ASX:WCN) rocketed 83.3% to $0.011 with more than 57 million shares traded after the company panned abundant visible gold from a new outcrop the Southern Gold Zone of its Aucu deposit in the Kyrgyz Republic.

The exceptionally rich mineralised outcrop extends the SGZ to at least 2500 metres with visible gold identified in three locations.

This has the potential to host a large jumbo sized gold resource given the massive deposits in the region.
