Pacific Empire Retains Omineca Drilling for September Diamond Drill Program at Trident Copper-Gold Property
Pacific Empire Retains Omineca Drilling for September Diamond Drill Program at
Trident Copper-Gold Property
August 21, 2025 – Vancouver, B.C., Canada – Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) (“Pacific
Empire”, “PEMC” or the “Company”), a British Columbia copper -gold explorer, is pleased to announce
that it has retained Omineca Drilling Ltd. (“Omineca”) to complete a diamond drill program at its 100%-
owned Trident property in north -central British Columbia. Drilling is scheduled to commence in
September 2025.
Key Highlights
• Omineca Drilling retained to complete a ~2,500-metre diamond drill program at Trident.
• Omineca previously drilled the property in 2014, bringing valuable familiarity and efficiency to the
upcoming program.
• Road re-establishment underway with an excavator clearing and preparing access ahead of drilling.
• Multi-Year Mines Act Permit secured, authorizing surface drilling from 20 permitted drill sites until
September 2028.
In advance of drilling, Pacific Empire has mobilized an excavator to the Trident property to begin clearing and re-
establishing existing roads in preparation for the 2025 exploration program. These activities will ensure efficient
access to drill sites and support the safe and timely commencement of diamond drilling.
“We are excited to be working with Omineca Drilling once again at Trident,” commented Brad Peters, President
and CEO of Pacific Empire. “Omineca, which previously drilled the property in 2014, brings valuable familiarity
and efficiency to the upcoming program. Combined with our recently granted multi -year exploration permit and
improved access, we have an excellent foundation as we prepare to launch our diamond drill program at Trident
this September.”
The Trident property lies within the prolific Quesnel Terrane, immediately south of the Hogem Plutonic
Suite contact with volcanic rocks of the Chuchi Lake Succession — a geologic setting known to host
several producing and past-producing copper-gold porphyry deposits in British Columbia. Historical work
on the property includes soil geochemistry, geophysics, and diamond drilling that confirmed widespread
copper-gold mineralization but left the main target area untested due to historic access challenges.
Pacific Empire’s 2025 program will be the first modern drill campaign to directly test this high -priority
target, following recent re-assay results from historical drilling and the acquisition of new high-resolution
LIDAR data that have refined drill collar placement.
