(Southern Empire) (TSXV: SMP) (\n \n Frankfurt\n \n : 5RE) (OTC: SMPEF) announces that it has initiated a high-resolution, airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical surveys of the Pedro Gold Project, located in northeastern Durango State, México.\n \n \n In addition, Southern Empire has engaged Sevicios de Ingeneria Ambiental y Seguridad S.A. de C.V. of Durango to complete 2,000 metres (m; 6,560 feet) of core drilling on the Pedro Gold Project. This first phase, nine-hole core drill program (see Figure 1) is expected to start in January of 2022.\n \n \n The Pedro Gold Project covers prospective geology including the HP Breccia Zone, an epithermal gold system discovered in 2012 by regional grassroots prospecting that was directly supervised by\n \n David Tupper\n \n , P.Geo., now Southern Empire's Vice President of Exploration, who stated:\n \n \n \n \n \"When examined as a whole, the geological, geochemical and geophysical expressions of the HP Breccia Zone within the broad extensional tectonic environment of northwest M\n \n \n \n \n é\n \n \n \n \n xico, present a compelling opportunity for us to discover an epithermal precious metals\n \n \n \n \n vein system\n \n \n \n \n on the Pedro Property. The predominantly vertical drill holes completed in 2014 by Newmont were designed to test for a large, Carlin-style gold-bearing system hosted by the underlying Carocol Formation sediments.\n \n \n \n \n Even though\n \n \n \n \n stratabound\n \n \n \n \n gold was encountered in near-surface oxidized and silicified conglomerates, none of the 10 Newmont drill holes tested the\n \n \n \n \n possibility for gold-bearing vein systems, the potential occurrence of which was subsequently enhanced by a 2019 Induced Polarization (IP) survey.
