Vancouver based Pacific Empire Minerals is a mineral exploration company whose principal business is the acquisition and exploration of copper‐gold porphyry properties, with a focus on British Columbia. The company’s material property is the Wildcat Project, consisting of 10 mineral claims covering an area of approximately 5,826 hectares in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia.
In addition to the Wildcat option agreement, Pacific Empire Minerals has interests in 9 other mineral properties in British Columbia and employs the “prospect generator” business model whereby it carries out “grassroots”exploration on its mineral properties.
To carry out exploration on its properties, Pacific Empire Minerals has commissioned the manufacture of a portable reverse circulation drill that it intends to use to advance its properties. Delivery of the drill is subject to completion of the offering and is expected to occur in or around September 2017 or as soon as reasonably practicable following closing.
