PACIFIC IMPERIAL MINES SIGNS REVISED OPTION LETTER
AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE 100% OF BABINE PROPERTY WITH
DEMONSTRATED PORPHYRY COPPER POTENTIAL
Vancouver, British Columbia – December 22, 2025 – Pacific Imperial Mines Inc.
(TSX.V: PPM) (“Pacific Imperial” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has
entered into an option letter agreements dated December 19, 2025 (“Option
Agreement”) whereby the Company may acquire a 100% interest in the Babine
exploration property in Central British Columbia. The project is road accessible with
demonstrated porphyry copper potential.
The Babine property consists of three mineral claims covering 2,226 hectares located 1.5
km north of Granisle Mine. The Company may exercise the option on the Babine
property by paying an aggregate cash consideration of $120,000, issuing 750,000
common shares of the Company and incurring exploration expenditures on the Property
of $1,756,000 all in staged amounts by December 31, 2029. (See table below) Upon the
exercise of the option, the Company will own a 100% interest in the Babine property. The
Babine property is subject to a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty held by four private
owners.

The Babine property is extensively till covered but previous exploration; including,
prospecting, geophysics and drilling located sulphide mineralization in several areas. A
number of semi-circular magnetic anomalies similar in size and shape to the Bell and
Granisle mines are located on the property but have only been subject to cursory
exploration. Recent work by other companies to the north of the Babine project have had
success with deep drilling targeting pre-existing geochemical and geophysical anomalies.
The Babine Project is situated within the Babine Porphyry Belt, a northerly trending
zone containing past Cu-Au-Mo producers (Granisle and Bell deposits) in addition to

more recently defined Cu -Au-Mo deposits and advanced prospects. The project
consists of a northeast trending claim block covering 2,226 hectares with its center
point approximately 8km northeast of the Granisle pit and 9km due east of the Bell
pit. The a rea is relatively flat lying, extensively covered by glacial till and is easily
accessed through a large network of logging roads. Mineralization within the project
area was initially discovered by drill testing induced polarization chargeability highs
that were conducted over a previously defined airborne EM conductor. All of the
previous drilling was relatively shallow with several drill holes that intersected
sedimentary rocks hosting disseminated to narrow zones of semi -massive sulphide
mineralization with anomalous, but sub -economic grades of copper and gold. More
recent airborne magnetic surveys over the area suggest that intrusive rocks may
underly the sedimentary cover. In particular, a northeast trending magnetic feature
is on strike with a nort heast trending mineralized dyke within the Granisle deposit.
Recent exploration drilling in the district has been successful in defining potentially
economic mineralization within the sedimentary cover as well as in adjacent and/or
underlying intrusions, h igh-lighting the need for more extensive exploration within
the district.
The Option Agreement is subject to the Company obtaining the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange. The Common Shares issued under the Option Agreement will be
subject to a hold period ending four months and one day after the date of issuance in
accordance with applicable securities laws.
