Pacific Empire Commences Drilling at Worldstock Copper-Gold Property
Pacific Empire Commences Drilling at Worldstock Copper-Gold Property
August 5, 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 Worldstock
Property in south-central British Columbia, 95 kilometres north of the city of Kamloops and 25 kilometres
west of Taseko Mines Ltd.’s Yellowhead Copper Project.
The Company will be testing a number of targets across the Worldstock Property, including an area that
has seen limited historical drilling with reported values grading up to 0.38% copper over 10.4 metres. The
intent of the RC drilling program is to test several areas for porphyry copper -gold mineralization by
focusing on targets with anomalous copper soil geochem istry, coincident with favourable geop hysical
signatures including interpreted magnetite destruction and highly anomalous Induced Polarization
chargeability. The majority of rock exposure at the Worldstock Property is obscured by 2 to 15 metres of
glacial overburden, though much of the expo sed rock contains abundant disseminated, fracture- and vein-
hosted pyrite and exhibits significant silicification, with localized chalcopyrite and malachite staining.
“We are excited to get the 2020 exploration season underway and continue our drive towards a
gold-enriched copper porphyry discovery,” commented Pacific Empire’s President and CEO,
Brad Peters. “We are in a position to complete a significant amount of drilling at numerous high-
quality targets this year beginning at the Worldstock property, which will be followed by drilling
at Weedon and then on to the recently-acquired Jean Marie property where the bulk of the drilling
for 2020 is planned.”
