Executive Summary

  • Re‑assay of historic drillhole 2008‑01 at the Trident property returned significant copper and gold grades (e.g., 1.57 m @ 0.93 % Cu & 1.06 g/t Au), supporting a substantial copper‑gold system.
  • Pacific Empire commissioned a high‑resolution LiDAR survey to refine drill‑pad placement for its planned 2025 diamond drilling program.
  • The company engaged Hillside Consulting for a short‑term investor‑relations/marketing effort (CAD $100,000).

Key Details

  • Re‑Assay Highlights – 1.57 m interval grading 0.93 % Cu and 1.06 g/t Au (20.43–22.00 m); multiple other intervals >0.40 % Cu with elevated Au, e.g., 0.48 g/t Au & 0.45 % Cu over 12.57 m; 0.58 g/t Au & 0.42 % Cu over 16 m.
  • Full Sample Table – Detailed assay results for samples ST235589‑ST235608, including Cu (ppm), Au (g/t) and Ag (g/t) across the entire 17–47 m interval.
  • LiDAR Survey – High‑resolution LiDAR conducted by Eagle Mapping to provide centimetre‑level topographic data for drill‑pad planning, access route design, and integration with geological/geophysical models.
  • 2025 Drill Program Planning – Re‑assay results reinforce the interpretation that the A Zone is the optimal starting point for the upcoming diamond drilling campaign.
  • Corporate Update – IR Services – Hillside Consulting engaged to deliver a digital outreach program; fee of CAD $100,000 plus GST for up to four weeks of service.
  • Qualified Person – Kristian Whitehead, P.Geo., reviewed and approved the technical information per NI 43‑101.

Notable Quotes

“Our work at the A Zone … gives us strong confidence that our 2025 drilling program at Trident is poised for discovery,” — Brad Peters, President, CEO & Director.
“For exploration, this means we can see the ground surface – even through dense forest – with accuracy down to a few centimeters… critical for finalizing drill‑pad locations.” — Brad Peters, President, CEO & Director.
