EXPLORATION CREWS MOBILIZED TO ATIKOKAN WEST

Canadian Empire Exploration Corp.'s 2004 exploration season has commenced with crews having been mobilized to the Atikokan West Property located in southwestern Ontario.  

About Atikokan West

Atikokan West, with 137 claim units located along a length of 8 kilometres, covers seven structurally controlled gold occurrences in favourable volcanic rocks geologically analogous to high-grade gold systems in the Red Lake camp.  Six of these gold occurrences have not seen prior drilling.  

Work to date has outlined targets ready for drill testing, including potential for depth extensions of mineralization identified by drill holes with grades of 6.2 g/t gold over 10.4 metres, as reported by the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. Prior exploration results indicate potential for high-grade gold mineralization, and initial grab sampling of the Blackvein assayed 134 g/t gold.  Several new gold targets, located between known gold occurrences, will also be investigated.  With results in hand, Canadian Empire plans to proceed with a diamond drilling program.

Canadian Empire may earn an 80% interest in the Atikokan West Property by making staged exploration expenditures in the aggregate of $1,000,000 by December 31, 2008 and then maintaining that interest by funding ongoing exploration through pre-feasibility.

About Canadian Empire

With approximately C$1.1 million in its treasury and 28,900,000 shares issued, Canadian Empire plans on drilling a minimum of three projects in 2004.
