Pacific Empire Samples 8.79 g/t Gold and Expands Mineralized Zones at Jean
Marie
September 28 , 20 20 - Vancouver, BC, Canada - Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC)
(“Pacific Empire”, “PEMC” or the “Company”) is pleased to report rock sample assays received from its
Jean Marie Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum porphyry project (the “Jean Marie”) in north-central British
Columbia, located 50 kilometres west of Centerra Gold Ltd.’s Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine.
Highlights:
• 8.79 g/t gold, 86.6 g/t silver and 1.75% copper in rock sample at newly identified Leap Target Area;
• Continuous chip sampling yields 4 metres grading 1.37% copper, 0.08 g/t gold and 67.4 g/t silver at
C zone south; and
• Bismuth-tellerium association with base metal and precious metal rich veins suggests high -level
porphyry type mineralization.
Figure 1 - New Rock Sampling & Existing Zones at Jean Marie
Additional rock sampling at the Jean Marie project continues to highlight the potential for a precious -
metal-enriched, copper porphyry deposit at Jean Marie. The presence of base-metal / precious metal veins
at numerous areas across the Property which consistently have a bismuth -tellurium signature are
interpreted as intermediate sulphidation veining consistent with what is observed in the upper levels of
porphyry systems.
Approximately 650 m etres south of the historically drilled B zone, rock sampling at a 20-metre-wide
exposed rock face and talus pile in a newly identified and sampled area exhibited gold and silver
mineralization within polymetallic veining. Veining occurred along the margin of a 10 to 15 -metre-wide
monzonite dike, in contact with calc-silicate (epidote, diopside) altered andesite.
Moderate to high grade silver mineralization was systematically chip sampled across a series of stacked
sulphide-rich quartz veins up to 30 cm wide in an exposed 2008 roadcut, 400 metres southeast of the “C
zone south” showing sampled by the Company early this summer ( refer to PEMC news release dated
August 11th, 2020). There is a prevalent bismuth-tellurium association with silver grades at the area, as
seen in other areas of the Property.
“Although outcrop is sparce, we continue to find additional mineralized areas across the
property characterized by veining that is consistent with the up per level of a porphyry
system. This new data, combined with historical drilling at the A, B and C zones, supports
the potential for a porphyry system at depth, along the Jean Marie fault. We look forward
to the start of drilling at Jean Marie in the coming weeks.”

About the Jean Marie Project
The Jean Marie consists of 7,350 ha of contiguous mineral claims in north -central British Columbia
situated 50 kilometres west of Centerra Gold Ltd.’s Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine. PEMC holds an option
to earn a 100% interest in the Jean Marie. The Jean Marie straddles the contact between the Jean Marie
multiphase stock and andesitic volcanics of the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic Witch Lake . Several drill-
indicated zones exist on the Jean Marie, two of which have only been historically drilled to a maximum
depth of 92 metres. Recent logging operations and associated infrastructure have made road-based drilling
activities possible. The most recent drilling at any of the three drill indicated zones was completed
at the B zone in 1997. The final hole of the 1997 program intersected 184 m @ 0.33% copper, which
includes an interval of hydrothermal breccia grading 1.2% copper over 27 metres .** Numerous
additional exploration targets exist on the Property, particularly along a 9 kilometre trend that extends
southeasterly from the A zone.
** The Company has not verified historical drilling results but has reviewed the historical sampling and
analytical procedures and has no reason to believe the historically reported results are unreliable or
misleading.
QA/QC Procedures
Continuous chip samples and rock grab samples were collected and placed in polyethylene bags before
being shipped to MS Analytical (“MSA”) in Langley, BC. Internal laboratory standards are checked upon
analysis as a means of quality assurance. Samples were analyzed using MSA’s IMS -130 multi-element
analytical package, whereby 0.5 g aliquots are subjected to an aqua-regia digest and subsequently analyzed
with ICP-AES/MS. Sample were also assayed using MSA’s FAS-111 fire assay gold package, whereby a
30 g fusion is ultimately finished with AAS.
