## Minestarters Atlas summary

Pacific Ridge provided a drilling update for its Kliyul and RDP copper-gold projects in British Columbia. Drilling at Kliyul focused on infill and resource expansion, while RDP drilling aimed to confirm the tabular geometry of the Day target, successfully extending mineralization to the north.

Reasoning: The update provides infill and expansion drilling results at Kliyul and RDP. While it confirms continuity and extension at RDP, it also includes a historical restatement of RDP-22-005 and an early termination of one hole.

- Positive factor: strong copper mineralization

- Positive factor: mineralization extended to the north of RDP-22-005

- Positive factor: mineralization remains open to the north

- Negative factor: RDP-25-010 terminated early due to intrusive

- Negative factor: no metallurgical recovery testing performed

Facts used in scoring: 6

## Classification and evidence

**QA/QC Disclosed**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\).

Why it applies: Release mentions review and approval by a Qualified Person \(Danette Schwab, P.Geo\).

Evidence · text

> prepared under the supervision of, and reviewed and approved by. Danette Schwab, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration of the Company, and a Qualified Person

**Step-Out Extension**

Polarity: positive

Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit.

Why it applies: Drilling at RDP-25-011 extended mineralization to the north of RDP-22-005 by a minimum of 50m.

Evidence · text

> extending mineralization to the north of RDP-22-005 by a minimum of 50m

#### Tags used in scoring

**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: qaqc\_disclosed is not true

**Cut-off Undisclosed**

Polarity: negative

Definition: High-grade interval reported without stating the cut-off grade used for compositing.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated

**Metal Equivalent Opaque**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Metal equivalent grade reported without disclosing the price, recovery, or payability assumptions used. Requires an actual metal equivalent grade; a combined elemental basket such as PGE is not a metal equivalent.

Why it applies: an equivalent grade is reported without its assumptions

**Stale Data Re-release**

Polarity: negative

Definition: Historical results re-announced with no new assays or reinterpretation — low genuine novelty.

Why it applies: the fact restates a prior release

**Infill Drilling**

Polarity: neutral

Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery.

Why it applies: drill\_program\_type is "resource"

## How Atlas produces this analysis

Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. 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.
