All drill samples were screened in-house using the companies X-Ray Fluorescence (\"XRF\") spectrometer. Although anomalous copper was encountered, the XRF results showed intervals not deemed of significant grade and width to send to the laboratory for analysis at the three target areas tested.\"The results of Phase 1 drilling at the Wildcat Property are being reviewed and future exploration will be planned accordingly,\" commented Pacific Empire's President and CEO Brad Peters. \"We intend to test as many targets as rapidly and cost effectively as possible in order to prioritize each of our projects for further reverse circulation drilling and exploration programs during 2018.\" Kitimat Property — Reverse Circulation Drilling UnderwayFollowing completion of drilling at the Wildcat Property, PEMC has now mobilized to the Kitimat Property where historical drilling encountered copper and gold at the Jeanette target area. An initial program at the Jeanette target area, of five to ten RC drill holes is underway.
