[{"type":"text","content":"Drilling Update at Pacific Ridge's RDP Copper-Gold ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 25, 2025) - Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: PEX) (OTCQB: PEXZF) (FSE: PQWN) (\"Pacific Ridge\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on the drill program underway at the Company's 100% owned RDP copper-gold project (\"RDP\" or the \"Project\"), located in B.C.'s Golden Horseshoe at the southern end of the Toodoggone district and 40 km west of the Company's flagship Kliyul copper-gold project (see Figure 1).Drilling at RDP in 2022 returned one of B.C.'s best porphyry copper-gold intervals that year. Drill hole RDP-22-005 intersected 107.2 m of 1.39% copper equivalent* (\"CuEq\") or 2.06 g/t gold equivalent** (\"AuEq\") (0.63% copper, 1.10 g/t gold, and 2.91 g/t silver) within 497.2 m of 0.66% CuEq* or 0.97 g/t AuEq** (0.37% copper, 0.40 g/t gold, and 1.60 g/t silver) at the Day target (see news release dated October 25, 2022) (see Figure 2).\"We are very pleased with what we are seeing so far,\" said Blaine Monaghan, President & CEO of Pacific Ridge. \"Strong copper mineralization is present in many of the drill holes and drilling has confirmed that the porphyry copper-gold-silver mineralization at Day is hosted in a tabular body that remains open. We look forward to reporting the drill results from the 2025 RDP drill program.\"Figure 1: Location of RDP To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/5460/263699_c2b9af4fb4eafbf9_001full.jpgFigure 2: RDP Target AreasTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/5460/263699_c2b9af4fb4eafbf9_002full.jpg2025 RDP Drill ProgramThe 2025 drill program at RDP is focused on the Day target with the objective of confirming that the porphyry Cu-Au-Ag mineralization at Day is hosted in a westward-striking, steeply northward-dipping tabular body. RDP-25-010, the first drill hole of the 2025 exploration program, was located 40 m southwest of RDP-22-005. RDP-25-010 was drilled at an azimuth of 60° degrees and dip of 72°. A stockwork of quartz-magnetite-sulphide veins was encountered in the first 5 m of drilling, however, a late mineral intrusive was intersected from 5 m to 175.5 m and the hole was terminated. RDP-25-011 was drilled from the s...
