Posted on behalf of Pacific Ridge Exploration - Most of the recent attention on PEX.v; PEXZF has been about what hasn't been drilled yet, and fairly so, but it's worth stepping back to what is already defined at the flagship Kliyul copper-gold project in B.C.'s Quesnel terrane.



**The Kliyul Main Zone Resource**  
Per the company's initial MRE (see Aug 5, 2025 news release),  
the Kliyul Main Zone hosts 334.1 million tonnes grading 0.33% CuEq (0.15% copper, 0.26 g/t gold, and 0.95 g/t silver) in the Inferred category. That works out to:

* 2.42 billion pounds CuEq, including 1.11 billion pounds of copper, 2.74 million ounces of gold, and 10.22 million ounces of silver
* Or 5.7 million ounces AuEq
* All delineated from just one mineralized zone which the company notes "compares favourably with other recently reported MREs for B.C. porphyry deposits"



The estimate is backed by an NI 43-101 technical report filed in September 2025 built on over \~$14.0 million and more than 19,000 m since 2020.



**Why It Matters Now**  
KMZ is just one target area on a six-kilometre porphyry copper-gold trend at Kliyul defined by favourable geology, geochemistry, alteration and geophysics. This summer's fully funded 5,500 m program deliberately goes after fresh ground instead:  
2,500 m at Kliyul's never-drill-tested M39 target  
 and 3,000 m at RDP in the Toodoggone, with crews mobilized and drilling expected underway by the end of July (see last week's July 16 news release).

In other words, every hole planned for 2026 is aimed at targets that sit outside the existing resource. The 2.42 billion pounds CuEq is the floor the story starts from, and a hit at any of the new targets this season could add an entirely new dimension to the project.

The full MRE details are in the company's August 2025 news release on its website.
