About Pacific Ridge
Our goal is to become British Columbia's leading copper-gold exploration company. Pacific Ridge's
flagship project is its 100% owned Kliyul copper-gold project, located in the Quesnel Trough close to
existing infrastructure. In addition to Kliyul, the Company's project portfolio includes the RDP copper-gold
project (optioned to Antofagasta Minerals S.A.), the Chuchi copper-gold project, the Onjo copper-gold
