(TSXV: PEMC) (OTCQB: PEMSF) (\"Pacific Empire\", \"PEMC\" or the \"Company\"), a hybrid prospect generator focused in British Columbia, is pleased to announce the start of reverse circulation (\"RC\") drilling activities at the Weedon Property in central British Columbia, 80 kilometres north of the city of Prince George and 85 kilometres southeast of Centerra Gold Inc.'s Mount Milligan Copper-Gold Mine. In addition, Phase 1 drilling at Worldstock is now complete and assays are expected in the coming weeks.At the Worldstock property, 10 RC holes were completed totaling 1,049 metres, with selected holes having been sent for laboratory analysis after positive on-site X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometer analyses. Several target areas were tested across the Worldstock property, with moderate to abundant sulphides being encountered in 8 out of 10 holes.. In multiple cases, the levels of copper anomalism increased with depth down-hole, supporting the interpretation that the Worldstock may represent the upper reaches of a porphyry copper-gold system.At the Weedon property, the Company will be drill-testing the T1 target area and targets in the vicinity of T1 which were the focus of previous exploration campaigns by Cominco in 1991, Geoinformatics in 2007 and Teck Resources in 2010/2011. The T1 target area is covered by glacial overburden in excess of 50 metres, however through the use of passive seismometers Pacific Empire was able to outline areas where bedrock penetration is achievable with the Company's existing RC drill. The Company's intent is to be the first explorers in this area to successfully reach bedrock in this highly prospective area.T1 Target Highlights at Weedon Property1.5 x 1 km IP chargeability high1 km diameter conductivity high1.3 x 1 km magnetic high500 m diameter Cu-Au-Mo Ah soil geochemical anomaly\"As we gear up to drill the Jean Marie property in the coming weeks, we are excited to test the highly compelling T1 target at Weedon,\" commented Pacific Empire's President and CEO, Brad Peters. \"We expect to receive drill permits for Jean Marie in the coming weeks, and although Jean Marie will be our focus in 2...
