[{"type":"text","content":"Pacific Empire Bolsters Stable of Targets at Jean MarieVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2020) -  Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) (OTCQB: PEMSF) (\"Pacific Empire\", \"PEMC\" or the \"Company\"), a hybrid prospect generator, is pleased to announce it has expanded its Jean Marie Project (\"Jean Marie\" or the \"Project\") by way of staking over 1,000 hectares (\"Jean Marie East\") of prospective mineral tenure, contiguous to and immediately east of the Project. Jean Marie is a copper-gold-silver-molybdenum porphyry project located 50 km west of Centerra Gold Inc.'s Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine in central British Columbia. The Jean Marie Project now covers a total area of 7,355 hectares, has multiple mineralized zones which are open for expansion and has several additional exploration targets across the Project.Highlights:Staking of additional 10 square kilometres with prospective geology, as well as geophysical and geochemical dataIncorporates historical geochemical anomalies with values up to 4,400 ppm copper-in-soil, 655 ppm copper-in-stream sedimentProspective porphyry dikes and plugs mapped along incised creeksJean Marie soil geochemistryA pronounced geochemical trend consisting of anomalous copper-in-soil is spatially associated with the northwest trending Jean Marie fault and extends over a strike length of 7.5 kilometres. In the vicinity of the A and B zones (Figure 1), copper geochemistry is obscured by recent cover but mineralization potentially extends further to the northwest.Brad Peters, Pacific Empire's President and CEO, states, \"The extent and tenor of anomalous copper-in-soil geochemistry on the Jean Marie Project presents several exploration targets beyond the historical A, B and C zones. The recently acquired mineral tenure to the east of the original Jean Marie Project provides the Company with yet another exploration target, that can be cost-effectively explored.\"Figure 1 - Map of Jean Marie showing copper-in-soil geochemistry and the newly-staked area.To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/5412/58133_f50c571d449318ae_001full.jpgJean Marie EastHistorical exploration at Jean Marie East was conducted by the N.B.C.
