21.12.2020  |  Newsfile
Vancouver, December 21, 2020 - Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) ("Pacific Empire", "PEMC" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has signed a binding Definitive Agreement (the "Agreement") to grant 1111 Acquisition Corp. ("1111 Acquisition") an exclusive option (the "Option") to earn a 70% interest in the Company's 14,040-hectare Pinnacle Copper-Gold Project (the "Project") in north-central British Columbia, Canada. The contemplated transaction was first announced in a press release dated August 26, 2020.

Highlights of the Agreement include:

  • PEMC retains a 30% free-carried interest until an NI 43-101 compliant Pre-Feasibility Study is published;
  • Cash payments of CDN$375,000 over 4 years to PEMC;
  • Share payments of 3,500,000 to PEMC;
  • CDN$5,700,000 of exploration expenditures at Pinnacle Project to be fully funded by 1111 Acquisition

Please see the Transaction Details section below for more information on the Agreement. The planned work program will be developed in the coming months by 1111 Acquisition Corp and will build upon previous drilling, geophysical and geochemical sampling programs completed by PEMC and previous operators.

"We are excited to have a very strong technical team advancing the Pinnacle property during a period of resurgent copper prices and increasing activity in this area," commented Brad Peters, President and CEO of Pacific Empire. "With the recent merger of Serengeti Resources and Sun Metals, in addition to the arrival of Australian miner South 32 to this mining camp, it looks as though this will be a busy area over the coming months and years."

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the Agreement, 1111 Acquisition can earn a 70% interest by completing $5,700,000 in exploration expenditures on the Project, paying PEMC an aggregate of CDN$375,000 in cash payments and issuing 3,500,000 common shares to PEMC by the fourth anniversary of the signing of the Definitive Agreement. Following the exercise of the Option, PEMC will retain a 30% free-carried interest in the Project up until the date that 1111 Acquisition publishes a NI 43-101 compliant Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS") on the Project. Following completion of the PFS, PEMC and 1111 Acquisition will form a joint venture with 1111 Acquisition holding a 70% initial interest and PEMC holding a 30% initial interest. If the total cumulative common shares granted to PEMC is less than 5% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of 1111 Acquisition as of the date of the PFS, 1111 Acquisition will issue to PEMC such number of common shares which will bring PEMC's ownership level to 5% of the total issued and outstanding common shares of 1111 Acquisition.

About the Pinnacle Property

The Pinnacle property is located in Central British Columbia, 50 km to the west of Centerra Gold's Mt. Milligan Mine, 30 km to the southeast of Serengeti Resources' Kwanika project and 20 km to the north of the Company's Jean Marie Copper-Gold-Silver-Molybdenum Project.

The Pinnacle property was first explored in the early 1970s following the identification of anomalous stream sediment samples from reconnaissance prospecting in the central portion of the property at the Aplite Creek zone. Geochemical surveys, limited diamond drilling and geophysical surveys were completed and confirmed the presence of copper and gold mineralization at Aplite Creek.

From 1983 through 1990, BP Resources Canada completed additional geochemical, geophysical and diamond drilling programs culminating in six diamond drill holes at Aplite Creek.

In 2012, the area was staked by PEMC and since that time the Project has seen over $2,000,000 in partner-funded exploration. During 2014 and 2015, Oz Exploration Pty Ltd. completed a total of 44 line-km of Induced Polarization surveys in addition to completing 2,493 metres of diamond drilling at the Elbow and Sooner targets. From 2016 through 2017, additional partner-funded work was completed by ML Gold Corp. consisting of geophysical surveys and eight diamond drill holes, totalling 2,187 metres. PEMC completed four reverse circulation drill holes in 2019.
