[{"type":"text","content":"Pacific Empire Samples 8.79 g/t Gold and Expands Mineralized Zones at Jean MarieVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 28, 2020) - Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) (\"Pacific Empire\", \"PEMC\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report rock sample 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:8.79 g/t gold, 86.6 g/t silver and 1.75% copper in rock sample at newly identified Leap Target Area;Continuous chip sampling yields 4 metres grading 1.37% copper, 0.08 g/t gold and 67.4 g/t silver at C zone south; andBismuth-tellerium association with base metal and precious metal rich veins suggests high-level porphyry type mineralization.Figure 1 - New Rock Sampling & Existing Zones at Jean MarieTo view an enhanced version of Figure 1, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/5412/64724_0655646434b28a47_001full.jpgAdditional rock sampling at the Jean Marie project continues to highlight the potential for a precious-metal-enriched, copper porphyry deposit at Jean Marie. The presence of base-metal / precious metal veins at numerous areas across the Property which consistently have a bismuth-tellurium signature are interpreted as intermediate sulphidation veining consistent with what is observed in the upper levels of porphyry systems.Approximately 650 metres south of the historically drilled B zone, rock sampling at a 20-metre-wide exposed rock face and talus pile in a newly identified and sampled area exhibited gold and silver mineralization within polymetallic veining. Veining occurred along the margin of a 10 to 15-metre-wide monzonite dike, in contact with calc-silicate (epidote, diopside) altered andesite.Moderate to high grade silver mineralization was systematically chip sampled across a series of stacked sulphide-rich quartz veins up to 30 cm wide in an exposed 2008 roadcut, 400 metres southeast of the \"C zone south\" showing sampled by the Company early this summer (refer to PEMC news release dated August 11th, 2020). There is a prevalent bismuth-tellurium association with silver grades at the area, as seen in other areas of the Property.\"Although outcrop is sparce, we continue to find additional mineralized...
