Story details
Pacific Ridge reported on September 24 that its 2026 exploration drilling at RDP and Kliyul in British Columbia had finished. Five diamond drill holes totaling 3,010 metres were completed at RDP’s Day target. Four holes totaling 1,524 metres were completed at Kliyul’s previously untested M39 target.
At RDP, the company described continuous copper-sulphide mineralization over lengths exceeding 300 metres, beginning at approximately 170 metres vertical depth. These are geological observations, not new laboratory grades, true mineralized widths or proven mineable ore. The release said assay results would be reported as they became available.
Drilling did not confirm the interpreted porphyry centre between Day’s magnetic lobes, while results broadened targeting in the western lobe. At M39, alteration and veining were interpreted as possibly peripheral to a porphyry system. Integrating drilling with geophysical data remains a targeting task; it does not establish production or economic viability.
