PNWC acquires PGM property in Quebec

Vancouver — Pacific North West Capital (PFN-T) has inked a deal to acquire a 100% interest in a 3,552-ha property to the east of Schefferville, Quebec.

Under to the deal, Pacific North West Capital must pay the vendor $125,000, issue 60,000 shares and complete $800,000 in exploration expenditures over a four-year period. The vendor will retain a 2.5% net smelter royalty.

The property is underlain by folded Proterozoic-aged metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks. Pacific North West Capital reports that copper, nickel and PGM mineralization in the area is associated with ultramafic sills.

The junior explorer intends to kick off a $200,000 exploration program shortly. The work program will focus on sampling known copper, nickel and PGM showings.

Since June 8, Pacific North West Capital has been trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol PFN. The company is completing a phase-four drill program on its River Valley PGM project near Sudbury, Ont. Drilling is expected to wind up by the end of June or early July.

Since May 14, an additional 30 holes have been completed on the property. Assay results are pending.

The River Valley project is funded through an agreement with Anglo American Platinum. Anglo can earn a 50% interest in various PFN properties by paying $300,000 (already paid) and spending $4 million on exploration. The major can up its interest to 60% by completing a feasibility study and 65% by financing the property through to production.
