PFN NEWS - November 19 2008
November 21, 2008, Vancouver, BC --
Pacific North West Capital Corp. ('PFN') (TSX: PFN; OTCBB: PAWEF;
Frankfurt: P7J, announces the termination of the exploration
agreement with Stillwater Mining Company ('Stillwater') (NYSE:SWC)
and Calista Corporation on the Goodnews Bay Platinum property.
The Goodnews Bay property is located on the southwest coast of
Alaska, approximately 550 air miles south-southwest of
Anchorage, Alaska.
On April 12th 2006, PFN announced that it had signed an option
to acquire up to 100% interest in a long-term exploration and
mining lease from Calista Corporation, which encompassed an area
of 82 square miles in the Goodnews Bay area. Previous placer
operations in the streams draining the project area produced
approximately 650,000 troy ounces of platinum. PFN began an
exploration program on the Goodnews Bay property with the goal
of identifying the lode source of the placer deposits.
In a second agreement dated February 26, 2007, Pacific North
West Capital Corp. and Calista Corporation had entered into an
option/joint venture agreement with Stillwater Mining Company,
granting them the right to acquire up to 60% of its interest in
the property.
The exploration programs conducted on the Goodnews Bay project
culminated with the completion of a seven-hole, 1706 meter drill
program completed over the summer field season of 2008. The
drill program targeted platinum mineralization at the Last
Chance showing, and at the Susie West soil geochemical anomaly.
No significant platinum-palladium mineralization was identified
during the program.
Based on the 2008 exploration results, Stillwater Mining Company
and Pacific North West Capital Corp. have decided to terminate
the exploration joint venture and have given proper notice to
Calista Corporation.
Pacific North West Capital Corp. would like to thank both
Calista Corporation and Stillwater Mining Company for their
participation in the exploration of Goodnews Bay and look
forward to potential business relationships with both parties in
the future.
