Vancouver, Canada -- November 19, 2008: Pacific North West Capital Corp. ("PFN") (TSX: PFN) and Benton Resources Corp. (TSX.V: BTC) are pleased to announce drill results from the Heenan property, which forms part of the Benton/PFN Swayze joint venture project located in the Swayze Greenstone Belt, southwest of Timmins, Ontario. Drilling targeted gold mineralization that was first discovered by prospectors J. Hussey and A. Aube in 1997 and has not seen any exploration activity until the Swayze JV optioned the Heenan claim block in late 2007. As part of the 2008 work program designed to evaluate the nickel potential of the joint venture area, prospecting by Benton Resources on the Heenan property returned grab samples grading from <2 grams per tonne gold up to 6.4 grams per tonne gold. The mineralized zone is hosted within sericite, carbonate +/- albite altered metavolcanic rocks having trace to 10% fine grained disseminated sulphides and is coincident with a distinct 600 meter-long induced polarization chargeability and resistivity anomaly.
A total of 447 meters of drilling in three shallow drill holes tested the subsurface continuity of the gold mineralization on the Heenan property. The holes encountered multiple zones with anomalous gold concentrations, including grades up to 3.42 grams per tonne gold over 0.20 meters.
