Pacific Empire Provides Corporate Outlook

Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) (OTCQB: PEMSF) ("Pacific Empire", "PEMC" or the "Company"), a British Columbia copper explorer, is pleased to provide an overview of its achievements during the 2021 exploration season and a corporate outlook on upcoming exploration activities. Pacific Empire has strengthened its portfolio through staking prospective projects, converting its interest in the Stars property and the Red property to royalties and cash, and advancing our flagship Jean Marie project through systematic target development during 2021. The focus for 2022 will be at Jean Marie where permits have been submitted for diamond drilling at the two highest ranking targets. Partner-funded exploration at the Pinnacle project is expected to continue during 2022.

2022 Exploration Plans

  • Complete target development at eastern and northern target areas of Jean Marie

"We believe our 2021 exploration and target development programs have given us a much better understanding of the nature of mineralization at our highest priority target areas at Jean Marie," commented Brad Peters, President and CEO of Pacific Empire. "We were also pleasantly surprised by initial observations in the eastern and northern areas of the property and intend to work towards developing additional targets, if warranted, in these areas."

Kitimat Project

Pacific Empire has been informed by CAVU Mining Corp. (CAVU: TSX-V) that CAVU will be terminating the option to earn a 100% interest in the Kitimat project. During 2021, CAVU reprocessed historical geophysical data including Aerodat, IP, and VTEM surveys for which digital data were available.

Qualified Person

Thomas Hawkins, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for the Company, serves as a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed the scientific and technical information in this news release, approving the disclosure herein.

Clarification

Pacific Empire would like to clarify a statement made in its news release dated February 2, 2022, which indicated that its 2% net smelter return royalty on the Red property was "purchasable by EnGold at any time for $1,000,000". As noted above, only one-half (1%) of such 2% net smelter return royalty may be purchased for $1,000,000 by Engold, thereby leaving Pacific Empire with a 1% net smelter return royalty on the Red property if such purchase option is exercised by Engold.

Pacific Empire Provides Corporate and Exploration Update

pacific empire minerals corp. (TSXV: PEMC) ("Pacific Empire", "PEMC" or the "Company"), a British Columbia copper explorer, is pleased to provide a corporate and exploration update on its Trident and Pinnacle projects.

Over the past decade Pacific Empire has operated under the "Prospect Generator" business model, where the Company would acquire projects through staking or through option agreements. The Company would then seek to attract partners to advance the projects, primarily in the form of diamond drilling. The acquisition of the Trident Copper-Gold Porphyry Project marks a significant turning point for the Company and an opportunity to focus entirely on advancing one highly prospective project toward discovery, while partner-funded exploration continues at the Company's Pinnacle Copper-Gold Porphyry Project.

After US$1.5 Billion Gold Payday, Chinese Billionaire Pivots to Copper for Energy Play

A reclusive Chinese tycoon has gained attention by once again defying the tide — this time shifting from gold to copper in a massive, calculated bet that's reportedly worth nearly US$1 billion.
