VANCOUVER, Feb. 27 /CNW/ - Pacific North West Capital Corp. (PFN) (TSX: PFN - News; OTCBB: PAWEF - News; Frankfurt: P7J - News) - is pleased to announce that it has received a final report for the 2007 work on the new Cheneville claim group in the Province of Québec, over conductive trends defined by an airborne EM and magnetic survey. A new sulphide mineralized showing associated with a mafic intrusion has been identified on the property approximately 18 kilometres west of the original Cheneville showing (average 1.17gpt Pd, 0.14gpt Pt, 0.29gpt Au, 1.62 Cu, and 0.35% Ni). Additional work in 2008 will be required to determine the extent and grades of this new occurrence. This is part of a cooperation agreement with SOQUEM INC., a company devoted to mineral exploration in the Province of Québec.

The Taureau reconnaissance program continued to evaluate mafic intrusions for PGM mineralization in a defined Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) within the Grenville Province of Québec during 2007 (phase 2). A $370,000 Phase III program has been recommended and approved to complete the evaluations of the originally identified mafic intrusions in the AMI.

SOQUEM is acting as manager of the 50/50 Cooperation Agreement. The parties have equal representation consisting of two members each on a Technical Committee responsible for setting programs, budgets, and schedules.

In 2006, PFN signed a Cooperation Agreement with SOQUEM Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Société Générale de Financement du Québec. Under the terms of the Agreement, PFN and SOQUEM are participating in a 50/50 joint venture with the objective of identifying viable PGM and base metal properties for further exploration within the AMI.
