Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. explores a British Columbia copper-gold portfolio under the OTCQB symbol PEXZF and TSX Venture symbol PEX. Company news commonly centers on drilling and exploration planning at its 100% owned Kliyul and RDP copper-gold projects, including assay results, copper-equivalent and gold-equivalent intervals, mineralization expansion, and porphyry targets in the Quesnel terrane and Toodoggone Mining District.
Recurring corporate updates also cover the Kliyul Main Zone resource, the broader Chuchi, Onjo, and Redton project portfolio, exploration agreements with Takla Nation, stock option grants, investor-relations agreements, and governance or exchange-policy matters tied to Pacific Ridge's public-company status.
Pacific Ridge Exploration (PEXZF) signed exploration agreements with Tsay Keh Dene Nation covering its Kliyul and RDP copper-gold projects in Northcentral British Columbia. The agreements establish a framework for communication and collaboration as the projects advance.
At Kliyul, four drill holes totaling 1,524 m were completed at M39 this year. The Kliyul Main Zone has an inferred resource of 334.1 million tonnes grading 0.33% copper equivalent, a measure combining metal content, at a 0.20% cutoff. At RDP, five holes totaling 3,010 m were completed at Day this year. Three holes confirmed continuous copper-sulphide mineralization from approximately 170 m vertical depth over lengths greater than 300 m. Assays for both projects await receipt, review and interpretation. No metallurgical recovery testing has been completed on either project's mineralization.
Pacific Ridge Exploration (PEXZF) completed 2026 drilling at its Kliyul and RDP copper-gold projects in British Columbia.
At RDP’s Day target, five holes totaled 3,010 metres. Drilling identified continuous copper-sulphide mineralization over lengths greater than 300 metres from vertical depths of approximately 170 metres. Two holes targeting an interpreted porphyry centre did not confirm that interpretation. At Kliyul’s previously untested M39 target, four holes totaled 1,524 metres; each encountered porphyry-style alteration and veining. The company said those features may indicate nearby copper-gold mineralization.
No 2026 assay grades were reported. Kliyul’s existing inferred resource at the Kliyul Main Zone, effective July 31, 2025, is 334.1 million tonnes grading 0.33% copper equivalent at a 0.20% copper-equivalent cutoff. That estimate predates the M39 drilling.
Pacific Ridge Exploration (OTCQB: PEXZF) has started a ~2,500 m drill program at its 100%-owned Kliyul copper-gold project in British Columbia, while a separate ~3,000 m program continues at the 100%-owned RDP project. The 2026 Kliyul program will focus on the undrilled M39 target, a one‑kilometre copper and gold soil anomaly with monzonite dykes, magnetite skarn, sodic alteration, chalcopyrite-bearing quartz veins and two circular magnetic anomalies, supported by new IP geophysics.
According to Pacific Ridge, the nearby Kliyul Main Zone hosts an Inferred Mineral Resource of 334.1 Mt grading 0.33% CuEq (0.15% Cu, 0.26 g/t Au, 0.95 g/t Ag), equivalent to 2.42 billion lbs CuEq or 5.7 Moz AuEq, constrained within a pit shell and open for expansion, with an effective date of July 31, 2025.
Pacific Ridge Exploration (OTCQB: PEXZF) has commenced drilling at its 100% owned RDP copper-gold project in British Columbia’s Golden Horseshoe, 40 km west of its Kliyul project. The 2026 program will drill approximately 3,000 m at the Day target, where 2025 drilling returned 112.2 m of 1.35% copper equivalent within 405.0 m of 0.71% copper equivalent in hole RDP-25-011.
The campaign focuses on testing the interpreted porphyry center between western and eastern magnetic lobes and further defining the western lobe discovery. Ahead of drilling, Pacific Ridge completed 1,057 line-km of high-resolution airborne magnetics, 283 line-km of magnetotellurics, and 9 line-km of ground IP to refine drill targeting at RDP.
Pacific Ridge Exploration (OTCQB: PEXZF) outlined 2026 drilling plans for its 100%-owned Kliyul and RDP copper-gold projects in British Columbia. At the Kliyul Main Zone (KMZ), an Inferred Mineral Resource totals 334.1 Mt grading 0.33% CuEq at a 0.20% CuEq cutoff, equivalent to 2.42 billion lbs CuEq or 5.7 Moz AuEq, and remains open for expansion.
According to Pacific Ridge, 2025 drilling at KMZ intersected 289.0 m of 0.77% CuEq. The company plans 2,500 m of drilling in 2026 focused on the undrilled high-priority M39 target. At RDP’s Day target, 2025 drilling cut 112.2 m of 1.35% CuEq; 2026 work includes property-scale geophysics and a 3,000 m diamond drill program to test the interpreted porphyry center between western and eastern magnetic lobes and further define the western lobe discovery.
