Core Insights - Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. reported significant drilling results from its RDP copper-gold project, with drill hole RDP-25-012 intersecting 154.7 m of 0.63% copper equivalent (CuEq) or 0.93 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq), including 86.0 m of 0.97% CuEq or 1.44 g/t AuEq [1][4][3] Drilling Highlights - The 2025 drill program at RDP focused on the Day target, confirming the presence of porphyry copper-gold mineralization similar to that found at Red Chris and Saddle North [3][11] - Five drill holes totaling 2,156 m were completed, with notable results from RDP-25-012 and RDP-25-013, which confirmed the elongate and tabular nature of mineralization [4][11] - Drill hole RDP-25-014 expanded the potential for mineralization at the Day target by intersecting 130.8 m of 0.47% CuEq or 0.70 g/t AuEq, located 270 m to the north-northwest of previous intersections [4][27] Mineralization Characteristics - The mineralization at the Day target is characterized by multiphase monzonitic porphyry intrusions and associated potassic alteration, sharing similarities with other significant deposits in northern British Columbia [28] - The company estimates copper recoveries of 80%, gold recoveries of 60%, and silver recoveries of 60% [10] Future Plans - Future drilling will target the intersection between the western and eastern magnetic lobes to explore for high-grade mineralization [27] - A detailed drone magnetics survey is planned for pre-2026 to assist in targeting [27]
