"We are very excited to have acquired this ground through staking," commented Brad Peters, CEO of Pacific Empire. "Following the release of very impressive drill results by Northwest Copper at their Kwanika Project, all of the available ground to the east of the Kwanika Property was staked. Fortunately, PEMC has a robust database of prospective target areas which allowed us to beat the staking rush and secure the ground we wanted. This strategic acquisition brings our land position to over 320 sq km, making us one of the dominant explores in this belt."
