Pacific Ridge will focus on resource expansion at KMZ and testing other high-priority porphyry targets at Kliyul this year.RDP: 2025 drilling at the Day target, one of several target areas at RDP, returned one of B.C.'s best porphyry copper-gold intervals that year.

At RDP, we will target the interpreted porphyry centre at Day and further define last year's discovery at the western magnetic lobe.
