Pacific Ridge Exploration Limited (TSXV: PEX) is positioning itself to become British Columbia's leading copper exploration company at what management believes represents a significant valuation discount to peers. Trading at a $14 million market capitalization, the company recently reported its maiden resource estimate for the Kliyul project showing 334 million tons at 0.33% copper equivalent, containing 2.42 billion pounds copper equivalent. This includes 1.2 billion pounds of copper, 2.74 million ounces of gold, and 10 million ounces of silver.
The company's trajectory shifted dramatically following a $3 million financing led by the Fiore Group in June 2025, which increased the market cap from $3 million to its current $14 million valuation. President and CEO Blaine Monaghan emphasized that this partnership provides critical validation from one of the strongest mining houses around, backed by billionaire capital and a strong technical team. The financing enabled Pacific Ridge to complete its resource estimate and execute drilling programs at both Kliyul and the RDP project.
The Kliyul deposit offers several distinguishing characteristics. The mineralization is hosted in a single contiguous zone that remains open in multiple directions, representing just one target along a 6-kilometer mineralized trend with five additional poorly-tested targets. Monaghan articulated a strategy favoring new discoveries over incremental resource expansion, believing capital is better deployed testing untested targets that could dramatically increase overall project value.
The RDP project, located 40 kilometers west of Kliyul, returned a standout intercept of 107 meters grading 1.4% copper equivalent in 2022 when under option to Antofagasta. With the project now back under company control, Pacific Ridge completed five drill holes totaling 2,100 meters in 2025, with copper sulfides intersected in all holes. Results remain pending and represent a significant near-term catalyst that management believes could drive substantial revaluation in the current favorable market environment for copper exploration.
