the Company and one-half of one non-flow-through share purchase
warrant ("FT Warrant"), each whole FT Warrant entitling the
holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the
Company at a per share price of $0.45, subject to accelerated

The proceeds from the flow-through portion of the private
placement will be used for the further development of the River
Valley PGM Project located in the Sudbury region of Ontario (see
news releases dated May 17, 2011, May 31, 2011 and June 15,
2011); the Destiny Gold Project, located approximately 75 km
north of Val d'Or in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, Québec
(see news release dated March 7, 2011); and the Rock and Roll
project located in the Liard Mining District approximately 9 km
west of the Bronson airstrip and exploration camp in northern
British Columbia (see press release dated April 27, 2010). The
Rock and Roll project hosts precious metals rich, volcanogenic
massive sulphide mineralization in a volcano-sedimentary host
rock package. The mineralization shows similarities to the gold
and silver rich mineralization of Barrick Gold's past-producing
Eskay Creek mine. Proceeds from the non-flow-through portion
ofthe financing will be used for the above; for the advancement
of the Company's Alaska property, and for the acquisition of
additional platinum group metals, precious metals and base
metals projects in Canada, the United States and Africa.
A finder's fee may be paid. The foregoing is subject to
regulatory approval.
About Pacific North West Capital Corp.
Pacific North West Capital Corp. (TSX: PFN; OTCQX: PAWEF;
Frankfurt: P7J.F) is a mineral exploration company whose
corporate philosophy is to be a project generator, explorer and
project operator with the objective of option / joint venturing
its projects through to production. In January 2011, Pacific
North West Capital successfully negotiated the 100% acquisition
of the River Valley PGM Project from Anglo Platinum Limited,
making Anglo Platinum the largest shareholder of PFN holding
approximately 12% of the Company (as of January, 2011). In
special situations, like our 100% owned River Valley PGM
Project, the Company is prepared to fund the project through to
feasibility and on to production. The River Valley PGM project
is one of North America'ʹs newest and largest primary platinum
group metals (PGM) deposits. The project has an excellent
infrastructure and is located 60 mile from Sudbury, Ontario.,
one of Canada's largest mining centres with 2 large capacity
mineral processing facilities that have extra capacity
On January 24, 2011, PFN announced a new NI43-101 mineral
resource estimate on the Destiny Gold Project which is situated
75 km near Val-d'Or, Québec (see news release dated January 24,
2011). The Destiny Project is under option from Alto Ventures
Ltd. ("Alto"). Under the terms of the option agreement, PFN can
earn a 60% interest in the property over a four-year period by
completing $3.5 million in exploration expenditures, paying
$200,000 and providing a total of 250,000 PFN shares to Alto.

group metals, precious metals and base metals projects on an

I of the $5 million, 15,500 metre drill program for its 100%
owned River Valley PGM Project and results are expected in May
2011. Work to date at River Valley suggests that the best
potential for economic accumulations of PGM-Cu-Ni sulphide
mineralization is within the Breccia Zone, which includes the
main mineralized breccia zone The Main Zone occurs within about
20 metres of the intrusive contact with Archean gneisses. This
contact zone extends for over 9 km of prospective strike length,
holds the current defined resource and is the main target of the
Company's renewed exploration efforts.
In addition, PFN is a significant shareholder of
Fire River Gold Corp
