July 5, 2018 - Vancouver, BC, Canada - Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) ( “Pacific

announces that following the completion of its Phase 1 reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling program at the
Wildcat Property it has now mobilized to its Kitimat Copper-Gold Property where drilling is underway
on the Jeanette target area.
Wildcat Property – Phase 1 Reverse Circulation Drilling Complete
The Phase 1 Drill Program consisting of 11 holes of reverse circulation drilling, totaling 550 metres, has
now been completed in the northern portion of the property that targeted three areas. All drill samples
were screened in -house using the companies X-Ray Fluorescence (“XRF”) spectrometer. Although
anomalous copper was encountered, the XRF results showed intervals not deemed of significant grade
and width to send to the laboratory for analysis at the three target areas tested.
“The results of Phase 1 drilling at the Wildcat Property are being reviewed and future exploration will be
planned accordingly,” commented Pacific Empire’s President and CEO Brad Peters . “We intend to test
as many targets as rapidly and cost effectively as possible in order to prioritize each of our projects for
further reverse circulation drilling and exploration programs during 2018.”
Kitimat Property – Reverse Circulation Drilling Underway
Following completion of drilling at the Wildcat Property, PEMC has now mobilized to the Kitimat
Property where historical drilling encountered copper and gold at the Jeanette target area. An initial
program at the Jeanette target area, of five to ten RC drill holes is underway. The objective of the program
is to determine the potential for additional mineralization outside of the mineralized zones using historical
soil sampling and airborne magnetic surveys to guide exploration.
