About Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd.

A Fiore group company, Pacific Ridge has a goal to become British Columbia's leading copper exploration company. The Kliyul copper-gold project, located in the prolific Quesnel terrane close to existing infrastructure, is the company's flagship project. The Kliyul Main zone, just one target area at Kliyul, hosts 334.1 million tonnes grading 0.33 per cent copper equivalent (0.15 per cent copper, 0.26 gram per tonne gold and 0.95 g/t silver) in the inferred mineral resource category (see news release dated Aug. 6, 2025). In addition to Kliyul, the company's project portfolio includes the RDP copper-gold project, the Chuchi copper-gold project, the Onjo copper-gold project and the Redton copper-gold project, all located in British Columbia.
