(TSXV: PEMC) (\"Pacific Empire\", \"PEMC\" or the \"Company\"), a British Columbia copper explorer, is pleased to report assay results from the 2022 diamond drill program at its Jean Marie project. Both holes drilled intersected significant intervals of copper mineralization and were successful in expanding the area of known copper mineralization along strike and at depth.Highlights:JM-22-02 returned 178 m of 0.32% copper equivalent (\"CuEq\"), including 76 m of 0.52% CuEq and 31 m of 0.68%CuEq, including 10 m of 1.15% CuEqJM-22-01 returned 155 m of 0.20% CuEqMineralized hydrothermal breccia was encountered in both holes\"Jean Marie is a fantastic exploration opportunity for Pacific Empire. Our geologic team believes the results of this drilling program are significant and encountering the mineralized breccia in a 200-metre step-out hole from the historical hole 97-11 demonstrates hydrothermal style porphyry mineralization is open along strike,\" commented Brad Peters, President, and CEO of Pacific Empire. \"Moreover, we remain optimistic that further drilling will demonstrate continuity of mineralization along strike and at depth.\"Hole Width (m)From (m)To (m)Cu (eq) %Copper %Molybdenum (ppm)Silver - g/tJM-22-01155512060.20%0.18%191.0JM-22-02178942720.32%0.29%421.8200.4595.552960.30%0.26%351.6(Entire Hole)28218.00 TOH300 EOH0.23%0.21%271.3Including761442220.52%0.46%713.0Including311912220.68%0.64%64.7Including101912011.15%1.08%67.2 Selected Highlights from 2022 Diamond Drilling at Jean Marie*Copper Equivalent (CuEq) % calculated using copper and gold length weighted assay results, with commodity prices assumed to be Copper = $3.49 USD/lb, Molybdenum = $19.31 USD/lb and Ag = $0.65 USD/g (20.13 USD/troy ounce). CuEq grade including copper, gold and silver assumes 100% recoveries is calculated using the following equation: CuEq. = Cu % + (Mo grade (%) x 5.65) + (Ag grade (ppm) x 84.36).
