Interview with Blaine Monaghan, President & CEO of Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/pacific-ridge-exploration-tsxvpex-tapping-into-bcs-copper-gold-amid-global-demand-surge-5754Recording date: 11th June 2025Pacific Ridge Exploration Limited (TSXV:PEX) has undergone a significant strategic transformation, joining the prestigious Fiore Group while pivoting from planned US expansion back to its core British Columbia copper-gold portfolio. Under CEO Blaine Monaghan's leadership, the company now controls 100% of five promising projects in BC's emerging critical minerals landscape.The partnership with the Fiore Group represents a major validation of Pacific Ridge's asset quality, bringing strategic advisors Rob McLeod and Ryan Waymark alongside crucial capital access and M&A expertise. "I think I found most gratifying over this past year where it's been really really hard to access capital in the market and you begin to question and wonder if your projects are as good as you think you are and that was really validation," Monaghan explained.The company's flagship Kliyul project has attracted significant investment, with over $14 million spent and 19,000 meters of drilling completed since 2021. Management targets an inaugural resource estimate of minimum 250 million tons, with recent geophysical surveys suggesting the majority of the system remains untested. Highlight intercepts exceed 300 meters of 0.8% copper equivalent, with mineralization extending to 600 meters depth.Pacific Ridge's RDP project presents exceptional high-grade potential, building on Antofagasta Minerals' discovery of 110 meters grading 1.4% copper equivalent - one of BC's best intervals in 2022. The upcoming $1.5 million drill program will test expansion potential from this discovery, with geological interpretation indicating a steeply dipping pipe system leading to deeper mineralization.The company's tight capital structure of only 19 million shares outstanding provides significant leverage to drilling success, particularly given the high-grade nature of targets in the increasingly active Stikine terrain. With regional momentum building around discoveries like Amarc's nearby Joy project and government support for critical minerals development, Pacific Ridge is positioned to capitalize on both local and global copper market dynamics.View Pacific Ridge Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/pacific-ridge-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
