(TSXV: PEX) (OTCQB: PEXZF) (FSE: PQWN) (\"Pacific Ridge\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the results of an airborne Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic (ZTEM) survey recently completed at the Kliyul copper-gold project (\"Kliyul\" or the \"Project\"). The results of the ZTEM survey bolster the Company's confidence that the final drill hole of the 2023 exploration program, drill hole KLI-23-069, intersected a mineralized quartz diorite porphyry stock, believed to be the mineralizing or source pluton, north of the Kliyul Main Zone (\"KMZ\"). Owned 100% by Pacific Ridge, Kliyul is located in the prolific Quesnel terrane in northcentral British Columbia close to existing infrastructure.ZTEM Highlights:541 line-kilometres of airborne ZTEM survey covered 85% of Kliyul.Strengthens the Company's confidence that the final drill hole of the 2023 exploration program, drill hole KLI-23-069, intersected a mineralized quartz diorite porphyry stock, believed to be the mineralizing or source pluton, north of KMZ.Indicate a potentially mineralized 700 m NNE-trending corridor, the KMZ-Klip Corridor, from KMZ to the southern margin of a large magnetic and resistivity high anomaly associated with the Darb Creek pluton, a satellite intrusion of the Hogem batholith (see Figures 1 and 2).Pacific Ridge believes that KMZ is just one mineralized porphyry centre associated with a pipe-shaped body of zoned alteration-mineralization extending from an interpreted porphyry source pluton at depth.Results of the survey will be used to identify a ZTEM signature of KMZ mineralization, as well as the geometry and geological controls of that signature to depths greater than a kilometre.The Company plans to complete 3-D modelling of the ZTEM results and integrate these with existing geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and drill hole data to define targets for future drilling.Figure 1: 2024 ZTEM Survey Results Supporting the Model of KMZ as a Pluton Proximal Porphyry Centre with NNE-SSW Structural Control, Including the KMZ-Klip CorridorTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/5460/229872_ffa5...
