(TSXV: PEMC) (\"Pacific Empire\", \"PEMC\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report assays received from its Jean Marie Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum porphyry project (the \"Jean Marie\") in north-central British Columbia, located 50 kilometres west of Centerra Gold Ltd.'s Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine.Highlights:Continuous chip sampling of hand trench 300 m south of the C zone yields 4.0 g/t gold over 8 metres, with the entire 20 metre length of trench averaging 1.7 g/t gold;Rock sampling at A Zone includes 0.442 g/t gold and 1.3% copper; andRock sampling at C Zone includes 0.525 g/t gold and 1.1% copper.An initial rock sampling program was completed on the Jean Marie for the purpose of evaluating the potential for gold in and around the historical drill-indicated copper zones. An area south of the C zone, where a 2008 rock sample along a road cut exhibited significant gold mineralization, was followed up with a 20 m hand excavated trench and systematically chip sampled over 2 metre intervals. Anomalous gold results are associated with oxidized, locally semi-massive pyrite, arsenopyrite, and sporadic quartz-sulphide veinlets. Moderate to strong hematite, limonite and scorocite with localized jarosite comprise the oxides that are associated with gold mineralization. Further follow up is clearly warranted at this intriguing mineralized showing, both on the north and south side of the exposure at the road cut.\"We always believed there was potential for significant gold mineralization at Jean Marie and these initial results clearly support this. With a project of this scale, these results are a significant revelation for us and we will work to further expand and develop the potential for a gold-enriched copper deposit on this project,\" commented Pacific Empire's President and CEO, Brad Peters. \"As we progress towards drilling in the fall it is encouraging to uncover new mineralized areas concealed beneath shallow cover, at surface.\"Table 1.
