Pacific Empire Commences Drilling at Weedon Copper-Gold Property with Assays Pending from Worldstock Drilling
Pacific Empire Commences Drilling at Weedon Copper-Gold Property with
Assays Pending from Worldstock Drilling
September 9, 2020 - Vancouver, BC, Canada - Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) (OTCQB:
PEMSF) (“Pacific Empire”, “PEMC” or the “Company”) , a hybrid prospect generator focused in British
Columbia, is pleased to announce the start of reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling activities at the Weedon
Property in central British Columbia, 80 kilometres north of the city of Prince George and 85 kilometres
southeast of Centerra Gold Inc.’s Mount Milligan Copper -Gold Mine . In addition, Phase 1 drilling at
Worldstock is now complete and assays are expected in the coming weeks.
At the Worldstock property, 10 RC holes were completed totaling 1,049 metres, with selected holes having
been sent for laboratory analysis after positive on-site X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometer analyses. Several
target areas were tested across the Worldstock property , with moderate to abundant sulphides being
encountered in 8 out of 10 holes.. In multiple cases, the levels of copper anomalis m increased with depth
down-hole, supporting the interpretation that the Worldstock may represent the upper reaches of a porphyry
copper-gold system.
At the Weedon property, the Company will be drill-testing the T1 target area and targets in the vicinity of
T1 which were the focus of previous exploration campaigns by Cominco in 1991, Geoinformatics in 2007
and Teck Resources in 2010/2011. The T1 target area is covered by glacial overburden in excess of 50
metres, however through the use of passive seismometers Pacific Empire was able to outline areas where
bedrock penetration is achievable with the Company’s existing RC drill. The Company’s intent is to be the
first explorers in this area to successfully reach bedrock in this highly prospective area.
T1 Target Highlights at Weedon Property
• 1.5 x 1 km IP chargeability high
• 1 km diameter conductivity high
• 1.3 x 1 km magnetic high
• 500 m diameter Cu-Au-Mo Ah soil geochemical anomaly
“As we gear up to drill the Jean Marie property in the coming weeks, we are excited to test the
highly compelling T1 target at Weedon ,” commented Pacific Empire’s President and CEO ,
Brad Peters. “We expect to receive drill permits for Jean Marie in the coming weeks , and
although Jean Marie will be our focus in 2020, Weedon remains untested with drilling, despite
previous exploration programs by sophisticated groups. The Weedon Property demonstrates the
potential to make a blind discovery in an easily-accessible area with robust existing
infrastructure.”
