Drilling Resumes at River Valley, River Valley PGM Project, Sudbury, Ontario
September 17th, 2004 - Vancouver, BC -- Pacific North West Capital Corp. (PFN) is pleased to announce that Phase 8 drilling on the River Valley PGM Project has resumed.  A total of 15,000 metres is budgeted in this phase, and will test several of the new targets generated as a result of the summer exploration program as well as further testing the Varley, Azen, Jackson and Razor zones which were discovered in the Phase 7 program.  
The Summer program was successful in identifying new areas of prospective PGM mineralization within the 14km long strike length of the contact of the River Valley Intrusive. New areas delineated include. -- Lismer's Extension, Azen North, Jackson's Flats East and West as well as the Drop and Casson Zones.   In addition the PGM mineralization has been traced for 2km in a breccia contact at the Pardo zone located to the north of the Dana Lake Deposit. (see attached map)
Induced polarization (IP) and magnetic surveys are being carried out on the Lismer's Extension, Pardo, Casson and Azen areas. The surveys are delineating drill targets where prospecting has returned anomalous PGM assay values.  The results show the extension of the breccia contact style mineralization with strong chargeability anomalies along the contact and into the intrusive body.
A high resolution airborne "Heli Mag" Survey has been contracted and is due to commence by the weekend. The survey data will be used to further delineate new drill targets and to test new conceptual models for the River Valley mineralization.
The River Valley Project is a Joint Venture between Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited and Pacific North West Capital Corp.  Anglo Platinum is currently funding a $3 million exploration program which commenced  mid May and is expected to be completed by December 2004.   Anglo Platinum may earn up to a 65% interest by placing the project into commercial production. The Qualified Person for this Release is Peter Dasler, P.Geo,  VP Business Development, Pacific North West Capital Corp.
