Pacific Imperial Begins Exploration ON Drill Permitted Trek 31 GOLD Project
PACIFIC IMPERIAL BEGINS EXPLORATION ON
DRILL PERMITTED TREK 31 GOLD PROJECT
Vancouver, British Columbia/ June 7, 2022 – Pacific Imperial Mi nes Inc. (TSX.V: PPM) (“ Pacific
Imperial” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce that on June 4 a field crew will mobi lize to the
TREK 31 project located 80 km south of Vanderhoof in the Nechako Plateau of central British Columbia
(Figure 1). The TREK 31 property is 30 km northeast of Artemis Gold’s Blackwater Gold Deposit and
covers an area of 120.4 km2 that is prospective for gold porphyry and epithermal mineralization.
Under an Option Agreement with O rogen Royalties Inc. (“Orogen”) Pacific Imperial may earn up to an
100% interest in the TREK 31 project by making cash payments an d completing exploration work
totaling CDN$3.3M over a five year period.
The initial exploration program will include geological renaiss ance, prospecting, overburden mapping
and a soil geochemistry and soil gas hydrocarbon (“SGH”) sampli ng program that will collect up to 600
soil samples. The SGH method is being investig ated as a means to detect sulph ide minerals in bedrock
through deep till, or thin rock cover.
Two soil geochemistry grids are planned: (i) a more detailed gr id centered over a prominent induced
polarization (“IP”) geophysical anomaly identified in 2020 and (ii) a wide-spaced grid covering the 3 x 6
km area up-ice of the area contai ning previously identified ele vated gold in basal till samples. The goal
of this Phase 1 program is to identify prospective areas for a planned late June reconnaissance type 3D
IP survey that is then to be followed by a reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program.
Chris McLeod, President of Pacific Imperial stated “We are very pleased to begin the 2022 exploration
program on TREK. Our 2021 summe r drill program was cancelled du e to wild fires in the immediate
area. We have now revised our approach to exploration at TREK a nd intend to drill targets identified
through a combination of till and soil sampling and IP geophysi cal surveys in a RC drill program which
has already received all necessary permits”.
Mr. McLeod added: “Pacific Impe rial was attracted to TREK 31 as it represents a low cost, road-
accessible, early stage opportuni ty for the Company to identify a large scale gold-rich
porphyry/epithermal deposit in a district endowed with development stage and past-producing mines”.
