Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. announced that the recently completed Airborne Mobile Magnetotelluric ("MT") geophysical survey, completed over the Trident and Pinnacle properties was successful in identifying a significant conductivity anomaly at depth on the Trident property. Airborne MobileMTTM 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. 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 geophysical datasets as the Company works towards refining drill targets for future diamond drilling at 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 exchange 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.
