(TSXV: PEMC) (OTCQB: PEMSF) (\"Pacific Empire\", \"PEMC\" or the \"Company\"), a British Columbia copper explorer, is pleased to announce that it has staked an additional 5,253 hectares, significantly expanding its flagship Jean Marie Project (\"Jean Marie\" or the \"Project\"). The additional ground covers prospective buried intrusions, contacts, and structures that were identified in the regional magnetic survey data. Jean Marie is a copper-gold-silver-molybdenum porphyry project located 50 kilometres 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 approximately 12,610 hectares, with multiple unbounded mineralized zones defined by drilling of up to 244 metres of 0.28% copper (J97-11), and 192 metres of 0.29% Copper (J95-2 see previous news release) as well as multiple recently identified targets across the entire project.Recent Project DevelopmentsLand position increased to 12,610 hectares (+71%)Mobilization of field crewRe-logging of historical drill core is ongoingSurficial geology mapping is ongoingAirborne magnetic, radiometric and LIDAR surveys are scheduled for June & JulySoil sampling is scheduled for JulyDetailed geological mapping is scheduled for JulyPEMC has recovered over 300 boxes of historical drill core from the property. Drill core from diamond drill programs in 1997, 1995 and some from the early 1970's has been transported to the local community of Ft. Saint James where it is being catalogued and re-logged. The Company has retained Quaternary geology expert Derek Turner, to map the surficial geology of the Jean Marie area using historical survey data, as well as modern topographical data and aerial imagery. The revised surface geology map will be used to reinterpret near-surface geochemical and geophysical data. This work are the first steps in forming an integrated exploration model for the Jean Marie project that will guide future diamond drilling. \"Recovering and relogging the historical drill core is a critical first step for us this year,\" commented Thomas Hawkins, Vice President of Exploration for Pacific Empire. \"We ...
