# Pacific Ridge Completes Drilling at the Kliyul and RDP Copper-Gold Projects; Drilling at RDP Intersects 300 Metres of Continuous Copper-Sulphide Mineralization Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/pacific-ridge-completes-drilling-at-the-kliyul-and-rdp-copper-gold-projects-dril--e327ec74-cc79-44f0-90e9-be793e4ebfa7 Original source: https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/315783/Pacific-Ridge-Completes-Drilling-at-the-Kliyul-and-RDP-CopperGold-Projects-Drilling-at-RDP-Intersects-300-Metres-of-Continuous-CopperSulphide-Mineralization Publisher: newsfile Original announcement: 2026-09-24T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. - Ticker: PEX - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: British Columbia - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Gold, Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Resource update - Extracted: 2026-09-24 11:03:36 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Pacific Ridge completed 2026 drilling at the Kliyul and RDP projects, intersecting continuous copper-sulphide mineralization at RDP over 300m. The company also reported a large Inferred Mineral Resource for the Kliyul KMZ zone, totaling up to 389.9 Mt at 0.456 g/t AuEq. Reasoning: The announcement combines significant exploration success at RDP \(300m continuous mineralization\) with a large-scale Inferred resource update for the Kliyul project, though the lack of metallurgical data and the speculative nature of Inferred resources are noted. - Positive factor: Continuous copper-sulphide mineralization intersected at RDP over 300m - Positive factor: Large Inferred resource at Kliyul \(386 Mt\) - Positive factor: Successful first-pass drilling at M39 target - Negative factor: RDP porphyry centre concept not confirmed by recent drilling - Negative factor: Kliyul resource is entirely Inferred category - Negative factor: No metallurgical testing completed on Kliyul mineralization Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Drilling at RDP expanded the western magnetic lobe target area. Evidence · text > expanded the western magnetic lobe target area **Inferred Resource** Polarity: negative Definition: Speculative category — limited drilling, geological continuity assumed but not confirmed. Cannot support economic studies alone. Why it applies: The Kliyul KMZ resource is reported entirely in the Inferred category. Evidence · text > KMZ hosts 334.1 million tonnes... in the Inferred Mineral Resource category **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: The drill results for the 2026 program do not include specific QA/QC protocols or lab certification details in the text. Evidence · text > We look forward to... reporting assay results as they become available. **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: A current resource fact retains the disclosed cut-off grade ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
