Vancouver, September 28, 2018 - Pacific Empire Minerals Corp. (TSXV: PEMC) ("Pacific Empire", "PEMC" or the "Company"), a hybrid prospect generator focused in British Columbia, is pleased to report that its drill crews has been mobilized to the Moffat property to begin a reverse circulation ("RC") drill program.
