# Drilling Underway at Pacific Ridge's RDP Copper-Gold Project Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/drilling-underway-at-pacific-ridge-s-rdp-copper-gold-project--4cbb6beb-f86f-4112-8ed4-b7dbef12a5fd Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/PEX/news/6336755935623989/drilling-underway-at-pacific-ridge-s-rdp-copper-gold-project Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-08-07T15:25:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. - Ticker: PEX - Exchange: TSX - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-12 18:33:02 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.20 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Pacific Ridge Exploration has commenced a ~3,000 m drill program at the Day target of its RDP copper-gold project in British Columbia. The program aims to test the interpreted porphyry center and further define the western magnetic lobe discovery. Reasoning: The announcement focuses on the commencement of a new drilling program and references historical drill results from October 2025 rather than reporting new assay data. - Positive factor: planned 3,000m drill program - Positive factor: recent discovery of western magnetic lobe - Negative factor: no new assay results in this release - Negative factor: historical data re-release Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence No classification tags are available. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (3) ### RDP-25-011 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/drilling-underway-at-pacific-ridge-s-rdp-copper-gold-project--4cbb6beb-f86f-4112-8ed4-b7dbef12a5fd#fact-drill-facts-0) RDP · copper Historical result Needs review: historical\_restatement #### Identity - Hole ID: RDP-25-011 - Project: RDP - Commodity: copper - Region: canada\_bc - Reported Region: canada\_bc - Ticker: PEX #### Geometry - Grade: 1.35 - Grade Unit: % - Intercept: 112.2 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: RDP-25-011:null-null #### QA/QC - Laboratory: American Assay Lab - QP Signed: Yes - QA/QC Methods: standards #### Metal Equivalent - Metal Eq.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
