Pacific Empire Reports Final Results from DD25-TRI-001, Confirming 240 Metres Grading 0.93% CuEqVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 21, 2026) - Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) ("Pacific Empire", "PEMC" or the "Company"), a copper-gold explorer based in British Columbia, is pleased to report final assay results for the full length of diamond drill hole DD25-TRI-001 from its 2025 fall diamond drilling program at the Trident copper-gold project in north-central British Columbia.Highlights - Remainder of Hole DD25-TRI-001 The balance of the assay results from DD25-TRI-001 confirm mineralization continues from 192.0 m to 249.0 m, combining with previously released results to form a composite of 0.93% CuEq over 240.0 m downholeAdditional mineralized zones between 249.0 m and end of hole at 503.0 m, comprising three zones averaging 0.1-0.3% CuEq over 5-10 metres of core lengthHole DD25-TRI-001 was drilled to a final depth of 503 metres, with casing set at 9 metres, resulting in 494 metres of sampled drill core. Context and Relationship to Previously Reported ResultsThe Company's December 15, 2025 news release reported assay results from the upper portion of Hole DD25-TRI-001, including:183.0 metres grading 1.13% CuEq from 9.0 metres, including71.5 metres grading 1.66% CuEqThe full-length results reported herein show that this near-surface interval extends to 249.0 metres depth. The vertical extent and grade continuity in this so-called A Zone is consistent with a porphyry copper-gold system in British Columbia."These full-length results materially change how DD25-TRI-001 should be viewed," said Brad Peters, President and CEO of Pacific Empire. "What initially stood out was the strength of near-surface mineralization. What stands out now is the scale. Intersecting 240 metres approaching 1% CuEq is a very strong outcome for a first hole in a porphyry system. Equally important is the recognition of broad, altered fault zones at depth, which provides important information on the deeper structural architecture of the system."Geological Interpretation & Structural ContextThe mineralized upper 240.0 metres of hole DD25-TRI-001 is associated with potassic-altered, magnetite-bearing, hornblende- and feldspar-phyric porphyry that suggest the core of an alkaline copper-gold porphyry system. Copper mineralization occurs primarily as dissemi...
