Pacific Empire Minerals (PEMSF) has assumed direct operatorship of its 2026 exploration program at the Trident and Pinnacle copper-gold properties, effective September 1, 2026. Equity Exploration Consultants is no longer operator. Pacific Empire plans to manage all field activities directly and expects work to continue through September 2026, subject to available funding, with further updates to come.
Pacific Empire (OTCQB: PEMSF; TSXV: PEMC) has commenced its 2026 diamond drill program at the flagship Trident copper-gold porphyry project in north-central British Columbia, with drilling also planned at the adjacent Pinnacle property. Equity Exploration Consultants is managing technical leadership and project execution for the season.
Initial drilling is targeting the Trident Main Zone to follow up 2025 holes DD25-TRI-001, -005 and -006. The drill is then planned to test an enlarged induced polarization chargeability anomaly at eastern Trident, followed by targets at Pinnacle identified from a June 2026 airborne magnetic survey, including Pinnacle South. Ground IP at Trident, airborne magnetics at northern Pinnacle, and reviews of historical core and data have already been completed. A Qualified Person, Dr. Ron Voordouw, has reviewed and approved the technical information.
Pacific Empire (TSXV: PEMC, OTC: PEMSF) approved new equity incentives under its Omnibus Equity Incentive Compensation Plan, granting 6,800,000 restricted share units (RSUs) and 17,700,000 stock options to directors, officers and consultants. Directors and officers received 6,300,000 RSUs and 16,700,000 options.
RSUs vest 100% twelve months from grant, while options vest immediately and are exercisable at C$0.05 per share for five years. Each vested RSU or option entitles the holder to acquire one common share at C$0.05.
Pacific Empire Minerals (OTC:PEMSF) reported final assays for diamond hole DD25-TRI-001 at Trident, confirming a composite of 240.0 m grading 0.93% CuEq from 9.0 m to 249.0 m (downhole). The previously reported interval of 183.0 m at 1.13% CuEq from 9.0 m remains included, with 71.5 m at 1.66% CuEq noted earlier. DD25-TRI-001 reached 503 m total depth, with additional lower zones averaging 0.1–0.3% CuEq over 5–10 m. CuEq uses US$5.00/lb Cu, US$3,000/oz Au, US$35/oz Ag and assumed recoveries; no metallurgical testing completed. The company has started a process for a possible strategic investment; further assays and follow-up drilling are pending.
Pacific Empire Minerals Corp (PEMSF) provided a 2025 year-end update and outlined a 2026 strategy focused on system-scale exploration across its Trident and Pinnacle projects. The company completed a six-hole diamond drill program at Trident in 2025 and reports copper-bearing and porphyry-style features that support its mineral-systems thesis. Pacific Empire says it now owns 100% of the Trident-Pinnacle land position with claims in good standing through December 31, 2029. The company plans coordinated diamond drilling in 2026 and is evaluating strategic investment partners to fund sustained exploration into 2027.
Pacific Empire (PEMSF) reported initial assays from the upper portion of Hole DD25-TRI-001 at the Trident project, BC, returning 183.0 metres @ 1.23% CuEq from 9.0m to 192.0m, including 71.5 metres @ 1.80% CuEq from 21.0m to 92.5m. Higher-grade sub-intervals include 14.8m @ 1.91% CuEq and a 1.25m interval grading 11.01% CuEq (11.45 g/t Au). Assays reported are down-hole lengths; true widths are not yet determined. Six holes totaling 2,603 metres were completed in the 2025 winter program; assays for the remainder of DD25-TRI-001 and five additional holes are pending. CuEq used metal prices of US$5.00/lb Cu, US$3,000/oz Au, US$35/oz Ag and assumed recoveries; no metallurgical testing yet.
Pacific Empire Minerals (OTC:PEMSF) commenced Hole TRI-25-005 at the 100%‑owned Trident copper‑gold project on November 4, 2025, drilling from the same collar as TRI-25-001 with a new azimuth of 330° to test porphyry margins.
To date 1,958 metres have been completed across four holes (TRI-25-001 503m; TRI-25-002 501m; TRI-25-003 501m; TRI-25-004 453m). Holes 1–3 returned visible copper mineralization (disseminated chalcopyrite, visible bornite). TRI-25-004 confirmed a porphyry intrusion that appears less mineralized, providing vectoring context toward higher‑grade, later intrusive phases. Samples are logged and shipped to ALS for assays; results pending.
Pacific Empire Minerals (TSXV:PEMSF) reported a surge in trading and completion of its first 2025 diamond drill hole at the 100%‑owned Trident gold‑enriched copper project on October 23, 2025.
Key facts: DD25TRI001 completed to 503 metres with visible sulphides in hornblende‑feldspar porphyry; core has been shipped to ALS North Vancouver for assays. Shares closed at $0.07 on 5.9 million shares traded on October 20, 2025. DD25TRI002 is collared ~500 m north‑northeast (azimuth 010°, dip -70°) to test the porphyry core and an untested chargeability anomaly. The program benefits from a newly granted Multi‑Year Area‑Based Exploration Permit and drilling rates averaging >100 m/day.
Pacific Empire (symbol: PEMSF) closed the second tranche of a non-brokered private placement on October 15, 2025, raising C$140,702 and bringing total gross proceeds to C$1,526,991.95.

Finder's fees of C$56,611.94 and 1,539,984 finder warrants were paid. Proceeds will fund exploration at the fully permitted Trident project, where Omineca Drilling began a 2025 diamond drill program of five holes totaling ~2,500 metres to test previously undrilled northern porphyry and breccia targets.
Pacific Empire Minerals (TSXV: PEMC) has outlined its 2025 diamond drill program at the Trident copper-gold property in British Columbia. The program comprises 5 holes totaling 2,500 metres, targeting previously undrilled areas due to historical access limitations.
The drilling campaign will test both known porphyry mineralization and new high-priority targets, including 1 porphyry confirmation hole at the historical A Zone, 2 porphyry discovery holes, and 2 breccia discovery holes. Historical drilling has shown promising results, including intervals of 70m at 0.69% Cu and 102m at 0.59% Cu, with some sections reaching gold grades exceeding 2 g/t.
With a newly granted Multi-Year Area-Based Exploration Permit, PEMC will be the first company to test the northern target area, which shows compelling geological, geochemical, and geophysical evidence of potential copper-gold mineralization.
