Projects
July 3, 201 9 - 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 drilling at the Bulkley Initiative, consisting
of four project areas in the Babine Copper-Gold Porphyry District. The Company is also pleased to provide
an update on exploration activities at its Worldstock and NWT projects.
Following the completion of initial geochemical and s eismic surveys, reverse circulation drilling is now
underway at the Bulk ley Initiative group of projects, consisting of the Bulkley, Sat, Paragon and Topley
Richfieldd projects. The Company’s reverse circulation drill is currently testing geophysical targets on the
Bulkley project , which will be followed by reverse circulation drilling at the Sat, Paragon and Topley
Richfield projects over the coming months. This initial drill program consists of approximately 100 field
days, with the Company planning to complete up to 50 reverse circulation drill holes testing numerous drill
targets in up to a dozen high priority target areas across the district.

“We are excited to begin drilling this year after incorporating passive seismometer technology
and a modified casing system into our drilling workflow ,” commented Pacific Empire’s
President and CEO , Brad Peters . “As we continue to drill test copper -gold targets, it is
important that we always striv e for greater efficiencies, increased production and ultimately,
discovery. Our singular focus is the discovery of large, gold-rich copper deposits in central British
Columbia and the more holes we drill the better our chances of a discovery.”

Airborne Magnetic Survey Completed at the NWT Project
An airborne magnetic survey has been completed on the 5,712 hectare NWT Project , located 20
kilometres to the east of Serengeti Resources’ Kwanika Project. The 340 line-km survey was flown
with 200-metre spaced lines and covered the entire property. The su rvey was successful in
providing a much greater level of detail than existing government -funded regional magnetic
surveys. Initial results suggest the property is centered on an area with a complex magnetic
signature cut by numerous northeast trending stru ctures. Follow up seismic and geochemical
surveys are planned in the coming months.
Pacific Empire’s, Brad Peters, added, “The results from the airborne survey are exactly what
we were hoping for. Previous airborne magnetic surveys in the area were flown at lower resolution
and the level of detail in areas with a subdued magnetic signature was of limited use. This survey
provides the level of detail necessary to begin developing targets.”

Preliminary Geochemical Survey Completed at the Worldstock Project

A preliminary soil geochemical survey has also been completed at the recently acquired
Worldstock Project in south-central British Columbia. The initial geochemical survey collected a
total of 735 soil samples and built upon historical geochemical surveys. Field geologists noted an
abundance of pyrite and localized chalcopyrite within quartz-sericite altered andesites, though rock
exposures are limited on the property. Analytical results are pending.
