Microsoft Word - 012715PFN - RV Drill Program FINAL from Tina News Release Drill Program To Commence At River Valley Platinum Metals Project

Vancouver BC (January 27, 2015) - Pacific North West Capital (TSX.V) (PFN or the "Company") (TSX.V: PFN; Frankfurt: P7J.F; OTC Pink: PAWEF)is pleased to announce Company plans for winter exploration program on its 100% owned River Valley platinum group metals (PGM) property. The property covers about 100 square‐km of highly prospective ground for PGM mineralization near the mining and mineral processing centre of Sudbury, Ontario.
Following the Company's strategy of exploring and developing a new primary PGM mining camp in Canada, PFN will commence a winter drill program aimed at targeting shallow, high‐grade PGM mineralization and extending the River Valley deposit farther to the east, along the trend of a surface induced polarization (IP) chargeability anomaly, dubbed Target T2.
The main objectives of the T2 Drill Program are two‐fold: 1) drill test for the presence of high‐grade mineralization that was previously drilled obliquely down‐dip; and 2) drill test a new geological model for this part of the host River Valley Intrusion. Two‐to three new holes are planned to be drilled from south to north (rather than from east to west) orthogonally across the dip of the T2 target. Targeted depths are
150m to 200m vertically below surface. The drill results will provide more accurate data on the true nature
and thickness of the PGM mineralization in the target area. Three‐dimensional modelling results for the current exploration database suggest that the T2 portion of the River Valley Intrusion rotated during movement along Grenville age faults. Such deformation‐related rotations have not previously been recognized at River Valley and present new opportunities for targeting high grade PGM mineralization.
Approximately 500 metres of diamond drilling is currently planned for the Program (Phase 1), with potential to increase the amount up to at least 2000 metres (Phase 2), depending on success. Within the scope of an increased Program, PFN also plans to carry out new surface and borehole induced polarization (BHIP) surveys above, within and under T2. Permits required for the drilling have been received and
preparations are underway. Drilling is anticipated to commence in late January.

About Pacific North West Capital

PFN is a mineral exploration company whose philosophy is to be a project generator, explorer and project operator in order to option/joint venture its projects to partners for funding through to production. PFN is focused on the discovery, exploration and development of PGM and nickel‐copper sulphide deposits in geologically prospective regions in North America, particularly Canada. The Company's key asset is its
100% owned River Valley PGM Project in the Sudbury region of northern Ontario. River Valley is one of the
largest undeveloped primary PGM projects in Canada. The Company continues to evaluate PGM and nickel‐copper properties and projects in North America for potential acquisition opportunities.

News Release About River Valley PGM Project

River Valley is one of the largest primary PGM Projects in Canada.

resources are: 26 Mt grading 1.5 g/t

NI43‐101 compliant near‐surface

PdEq for 1.2 Moz contained PdEq in the measured category; 66 Mt grading 1.4 g/t PdEq for 2.8 Moz contained PdEq in the indicated category; and 36 Mt grading 1.1 g/t PdEq for 1.2 Moz contained PdEq in the inferred

category (see PFN's website for details).

The Project is located within 100 road‐
km of Sudbury and is readily accessible
via paved and gravel
roads with
settlements, power and rail all nearby.
The River
Valley PGM deposit is
overlain by mining leases owned 10 %
by PFN.
Exploration upside is
enormous, particularly at depth.
