Airborne MobileMT™ Survey at Trident
Highlights
• MT survey identified a conductivity anomaly at depth on the Trident property.
• The completed survey totals 164 line -kilometres and provides coverage of the primary
target area (historical assays at Trident which include DDH-1971-13: 70.07m @ 0.69%
Cu, DDH 2007-2: 100.00m @ 0.59% Cu and 0.18 g/t Au including 2.00m @ 2.73% Cu
and 0.36 g/t Au).
• The MT survey also covered an additional target area located on PEMC’s 100% owned
Pinnacle Property situated directly west and adjacent to Trident.

Pacific Empire has received the results from the Airborne Mobile Magnetotelluric Survey at its
flagship Trident and Pinnacle projects. Preliminary results have identified a significant
conductivity anomaly on the Company’s Trident property at depth (Figures 2, 3 & 4). This low
resistivity (high conductivity) anomaly represents a compelling exploration target that is further
supported by favorable geology in nearby historic drilling . The Company will soon announce
the results of 3D modelling and subsequent integration of the MT survey into the existing
geological and geo physical datasets as the Company works towards refining d rill targets for
future diamond drilling at Trident.
Pacific Empire's President and CEO, Brad Peters: "The preliminary data is very encouraging,
we are currently reviewing the data and proceeding with its integration into our historical
induced polarization (“IP”), airborne magnetic and historical drilling datasets to develop a
comprehensive 3D model. The presence of resistivity lows/conductivity highs at depth associated
with “fingers” protruding have the potential to represent fluid conduits t hat are inferred to be
essential to the formation of mineral deposits. The MT survey results provide compelling
additional support to our current understanding of the mineralizing system at Trident. This
important step serves to strengthen our conviction and allows the exploration team to effectively
target future drill programs.

About Trident
The Trident property is an early exploration stage property hosting an alkalic porphyry copper-
gold-silver prospect with district -scale potential that is accessible by vehicle. The property is
located approximately 50 km to the southeast of NorthWest Copper Corp.’s Kwanika Deposit
and 50 km to the northwest of Centerra Gold’s Mt. Milligan Mine. The property covers 6,618
hectares endowed with well -established logging roads providing important efficient access to
conduct exploration programs.
Copper mineralization on the property was first discovered in 1969, while exploration crews
were following up on anomalous stream sediment samples. The following year, Falconbridge
optioned the property and over the next two years completed IP and magnetic surveys,
geological mapping, soil sampling and diamond drilling. This work ultimately led to the
discovery of the A Zone.
Additional exploration programs were completed by Kookaburra Gold Corp. from 1988 through
1991, Solomon Resources Ltd., from 2006 through 2008. In 2013, PEMC optioned the property
and in 2014, in turn, PEMC optioned the property to Oz Minerals which completed during that
same year, an IP survey and completed a two drillhole, diamond drill program at Trident.
In 2022, Pacific Empire acquired a 100% interest in the property in exch ange for granting the
vendors a 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”). One-half (1%) of the 2% NSR which may be
purchased for $500,000 by Pacific Empire.

Prior to 2014, known mineralization on the property was believed to be associated with fracture
and/or shear zones structures striking 120 degrees and dipping 75 degrees towards the northeast.
A review of historical drill core by the Pacific Empire exploration team has led to a much
different interpretation with respect to the nature of known mineralization on the property. The
most important observation made was the determination of the presence of hornblende -
feldspar monzonite porphyry intrusions detected within drill core obtained from the A Zone.
These types of porphyry intrusions are typically characterized by sheeted quartz sulphide veins
hosting disseminated chalcopyrite and bornite residing immediately adjacent to and within the
porphyry dikes. Other observations include the highest grades noted in historical drilling can be
seen to be directly associated with intervals where such porphyry intrusions occur.

“Between our 100% owned Trident and Pinnacle projects runs the Klawli river. The gold flakes
and nuggets in the vial displayed on the map were collected from that location on the Klawli river.
It is this and other geochemical evidence gathered by the PEMC exploration team which leads us
to postulate the potential for a gold -enriched copper system nearby on either Trident, Pinnacle,
or possibly both projects. To date, visible gold has been observed in outcrop s at Trident, placer
gold discovered in the nearby Klawli river gravels, as well gold has been detected in drill core
from Pinnacle. All three of these known occurrences of gold and their respective locations suggests
there may be a shallow buried, large scale, gold -enriched, copper porphyry deposit withi n our
district scale land package,” commented Brad Peters, President , CEO and Director of Pacific
Empire.

About Pinnacle
The Pinnacle project is located 60 km to the west of Centerra Gold's Mt. Milligan Copper-Gold
Mine and 30 km to the southeast of NorthWest Copper’s Kwanika Copper -Gold Deposit in a
proven copper-gold porphyry district. Access to the Pinnacle is by road inc luding a new and
expanding network of logging roads and trails throughout the main target areas. This improved
access is a significant development and is anticipated to contribute to cost effective drill support
and provides additional bedrock exposure.
