Kliyul is located in the prolific Quesnel Terrane, close to existing infrastructure, and RDP is located 40 km to the west of Kliyul in the Stikine Terrane (see Figure 1).Kliyul Highlights10,284 m of diamond drilling was completed in 19 drill holes at Kliyul, making the 2023 exploration program the largest ever on the Project.8,965 m in 16 drill holes in six contiguous fault block zones of the Kliyul porphyry copper-gold complex tested an area measuring approximately 1,300 m east-west, 600 m north-south, and up to 650 m vertical depth (see Figure 2).1,319 m in three drill holes tested three interpreted porphyry centres (Ginger, Ginger South, and Parish Hill) up to 1.5 km from the Kliyul Main Zone (\"KMZ\") (see Figure 3).Pacific Ridge has reported assay results from the first four diamond drill holes with hole KLI-23-054 returning 305.5 m of 0.23% copper, 0.51 g/t gold, and 1.22 g/t silver within 540.3 m of 0.19% copper, 0.36 g/t gold, and 1.09 g/t silver (see news release dated August 23, 2023). The results from the remaining 15 drill holes completed at Kliyul will be released once assays are received and compiled.RDP Highlights1,428 m of diamond drilling was completed in three drill holes at RDP.987 m in two broad step-out holes (over 300 m each) from drill hole RDP-22-005, which returned 107.2 m of 0.63% copper, 1.10 g/t gold, and 2.91 g/t silver within 497.2 m of 0.37% copper, 0.40 g/t gold, and 1.6 g/t silver at the Day Target in 2022 (see news release dated October 25, 2022) (see Figure 4).441 m in one drill hole completed at the Bird target where the Company discovered porphyry copper-gold mineralization in an outcrop exposed in a stream cutbank in 2022.
