(TSXV: PEX) (OTCQB: PEXZF) (FSE: PQWN) (\"Pacific Ridge\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce results from diamond drill holes KLI-23-063 to KLI-23-066 from this year's exploration program at the Kliyul copper-gold porphyry project (\"Kliyul\" or \"Project\"). Drill hole KLI-23-065 intersected 111.0 m of 0.45% copper equivalent (\"CuEq\") or 0.67 g/t gold equivalent (\"AuEq\") (0.24% copper, 0.30 g/t gold, and 0.70 g/t silver) within 600.4 m 0.27% CuEq or 0.40 g/t AuEq (0.14% copper, 0.18 g/t gold, and 0.53 g/t silver). Holes KLI-23-063 to KLI-23-066 have expanded the known extents of Kliyul Main Zone (\"KMZ\") mineralization to ~750 m east-west, ~ 600 m north-south, and ~600 m vertical depth. Kliyul is located in the prolific Quesnel Terrane in northcentral British Columbia close to existing infrastructure (see Figure 1).HighlightsDrill hole KLI-23-065 intersected 111.0 m of 0.45% CuEq or 0.67 g/t AuEq (0.24% copper, 0.30 g/t gold, and 0.70 g/t silver) within 600.4 m of 0.27% CuEq or 0.40 g/t AuEq (0.14% copper, 0.18 g/t gold, and 0.53 g/t silver).Drill hole KLI-23-066 intersected 116.9 m of 0.44% CuEq or 0.65 g/t AuEq (0.28% copper, 0.22 g/t gold, and 0.96 g/t silver) within 299.0 m of 0.27% CuEq or 0.39 g/t AuEq (0.17% copper, 0.14 g/t gold, and 0.60 g/t silver).2023 drilling to date has expanded the known extents of KMZ mineralization to ~750 m east-west, ~ 600 m north-south, and ~ 600 m vertical depth. KMZ remains open in every direction.\"2023 drilling to date has more than doubled the known extents of KMZ mineralization,\" said Blaine Monaghan, President & CEO of Pacific Ridge. \"At the end of 2022 the known extents of KMZ mineralization were ~600 m east-west, ~350 m north-south, and ~600 m vertical depth, the known extents are now ~750 m east-west, ~600 m north-south, and ~600 m vertical depth, an increase of more than 110%! I look forward to reporting the remaining three drill holes from Kliyul.\"Pacific Ridge completed 19 diamond drill holes (KLI-23-0...
