Pacific Ridge Accepts Offer for Baker Uranium Property

Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PEX) ("Pacific Ridge" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce that, subject to Regulatory Approvals as may
be required, it has arranged the sale of its Baker Basin Uranium property to
Kivalliq Energy Corporation ("Kivalliq") for a total consideration of $ 275,000,
comprised of :




--  600,000 common shares in the capital of Kivalliq at a deemed price of
    $0.25 per share 
--  A cash payment of $55,000 to Pacific Ridge 
--  A $70,000 private placement in Pacific Ridge of 1,400,000 units, at a
    price of $0.05 per unit, each unit consisting of one common share and
    one-half of one share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant
    exercisable into one common share at a price of $0.10 for 12 months from
    the date of issuance.



Pacific Ridge explored the Baker Basin property in 2006 and 2007 and then
optioned the property to Aurora Energy Resources who, after a short exploration
program, relinquished its option in 2009. Since that time, the Baker Basin
property has seen no further exploration, with Pacific Ridge having then devoted
all its ongoing exploration activity to Yukon. 


About Pacific Ridge

Pacific Ridge is a mineral exploration company currently focused on the Yukon's
new White Gold and Klondike Gold Districts, with four exploration projects that
are well located in the same vicinity and in generally similar geological
environments as Kinross Gold's White Gold deposit, Kaminak Gold's Coffee gold
deposits and Comstock Metals' QV gold discovery. Pacific Ridge's 262 km2
Mariposa gold project covers the prolific Scroggie and Mariposa placer gold
creeks. It has seen $6 million in soil sampling, trenching and drilling spent
over the past three years resulting in discovery of a number of well mineralized
gold zones. The 78 km2 King Solomon Project, located in the heart of the
Klondike gold camp, lies at the headwaters of some of the Klondike's most
prolific placer gold creeks, including Gold Bottom, Dominion, Sulphur and Quartz
creeks. The 49 km2 Gold Cap/Polar-Stewart property adjoins the Kinross White
Gold property and contains yet-to-be drilled gold soil anomalies, the strongest
of which is a possible easterly extension a gold-in-soil anomaly reported on the
White Gold property. The 27 km2 Eureka Dome property also covers the headwaters
of placer mining creeks.


Pacific Ridge's Fyre Lake property, in Yukon's Finlayson Lake District, hosts a
copper-gold-cobalt massive sulphide deposit with a 43-101 compliant indicated
mineral resource of 3.6 million tonnes grading 1.57% copper, 0.10% cobalt and
0.61 grams gold per tonne at a 1 percent copper cut-off grade plus an inferred
mineral resource, at the same cut-off grade, of 5.4 million tonnes grading 1.48%
copper, 0.08% cobalt and 0.53 grams gold per tonne. This open-ended copper and
gold deposit has yet to be fully defined by drilling. Joint venture
participation is presently being considered for Fyre Lake.
