Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. announced Expert Geophysics Ltd. has commenced an airborne MobileMT?? survey at its 100% owned Trident and Pinnacle copper-gold projects in the South Hogem Copper-Gold Belt.

Highlights: MagnetoTelluric (MT) survey method capable of detecting basement electromagnetic (EM) conductors and anomalous resistivity zones which are indicative of potential copper-gold porphyry systems; Planned surveying totals 164 line-kilometres to provide coverage of primary target area (historical assays at Trident which include DDH- 1971-13: 70.07m at 0.69% Cu, DDH 2007-2: 100.00m at 0.59% Cu and 0.18 g/t Au including 2.00m at 2.73% Cu and 0.36 g/t Au); The MT survey will also cover an additional target located on PEMC's 100% owned Pinnacle Property situated directly west and adjacent to the Trident. Utilization of this modern geophysical dataset will facilitate the identification and prioritization of target areas for drilling currently anticipated during the Summer/Fall 2024 exploration season. Planned Survey: The purpose of the survey is to identify conductivity/resistivity anomalies that may represent conduits for hydrothermal fluids critical in the formation of porphyry copper-gold deposits.

These conduits have the potential to represent critical plumbing systems responsible for the formation of copper porphyry deposits. The gathering of both resistivity and conductivity imaging of the surface to a depth of 1 km through deploying an airborne MobileMT (Mobile MagnetoTellurics) system will provide key information pertaining to source fluid conduits and structures. This important step will provide valuable insights and aid to further both known and unknown exploration targets destined for follow up diamond drilling programs.
