[{"type":"text","content":"Pacific Empire Reports RC Drilling Results from Pinnacle ProjectVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2020) -  Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) (\"Pacific Empire\", \"PEMC\" or the \"Company\"), a hybrid generator focused in British Columbia reports on assays received from its 100% owned 14,040 hectare Pinnacle Porphyry Project (\"Pinnacle\") in North-Central British Columbia.Highlights:77.7 m grading 0.18 g/t gold intersected 900 metres north of 2015 drill intercept 94 m @ 0.34 g/t gold at Elbow Target.Alteration and mineralization at Elbow suggest potential for porphyry system with broad gold halo based on distribution of gold mineralization associated with chargeability anomaly.Multiple target areas defined at Pinnacle with road construction associated with logging activities planned for 2020/2021.Figure 1. 2014 Induced Polarization chargeability survey with all drilling at Elbow Target.To view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/5412/52077_6c09e2f794190a12_001full.jpgPinnacle Porphyry Project ExplorationA Reverse Circulation (\"RC\") drilling program was completed in November and December of 2019 by PEMC at the Pinnacle Project, located approximately 50 km northwest of Centerra Gold's Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine. Drilling was primarily focused on the Elbow Target, roughly one kilometre north of 2015 diamond drilling where anomalous gold along with distal porphyry-type alteration assemblages and sporadic copper values were encountered. A secondary target at the Later Target was tested with two short holes. The two holes drilled at the Elbow Target were on swamps that are only accessible in the winter months. Four short RC holes totaling 335 metres were drilled with PEMC's in-house track-mounted RC drill, with depths of the holes ranging from 36.6 to 112.8 metres. Samples from one hole from each of the two targets were shipped for laboratory analysis.Elbow TargetThe Elbow Target, first identified in 2014, represents a copper-gold porphyry target characterized by favourable magnetic and Induced Polarization (\"IP\") chargeability signatures in an area with no bedrock exposure and overlain by glacial overburden and swamps. The intent of 2019 drilling was to test magnetic signatures on the northern flank of the chargeability anomaly, approximate...
