May 14, 2007, Vancouver, BC - Pacific North West Capital Corp. ("PFN") (TSX: PFN; OTCBB: PAWEF; Frankfurt: P7J) is pleased to announce that it has staked new claims in the Province of Quebec, over conductive trends defined by an airborne EM and mag survey flown in late 2006. Staking activity is part of a cooperation agreement with SOQUEM, a
company devoted to mineral exploration in the Province of Quebec.
A total of approximately 219 surveyed lots have been staked, which
should be confirmed by the Ministere des Ressources Naturelles et de la Faune
du Quebec, once they are processed. These acquisitions are part of the Taureau reconnaissance program which evaluated mafic intrusions for PGM mineralization in a defined Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) within the Grenville Province of Quebec.
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.
PFN's President Harry Barr stated, "Our partnership with SOQUEM is advancing on schedule. Grassroots exploration conducted in 2006 should provide us with drill ready targets over the next few months. The technical expertise of our partner SOQUEM is unmatched."
Work on the Taureau Project was started in 2006 within the AMI to identify PGM mineralization in mafic intrusive bodies. Staking follows two samples returning assays averaging 1.17gpt Pd, 0.14gpt Pt, 0.29gpt Au, 1.62% Cu, and 0.35% Ni. A new Joint Venture with SOQUEM has been formed to further assess the significance of the known mineralized mafic intrusion as well as any of the related conductive trends associated with the newly identified magnetic bodies (aero mag) which are felt to be related to other mafic intrusive bodies in the region.
A 2007 budget of $110,000 has been approved to begin evaluating the new Joint Venture area as well as $350,000 to continue work (phase 2) in the AMI to locate additional PGM mineralization.
In 2006, PFN signed a Cooperation Agreement with SOQUEM Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Soci�t� G�n�rale de Financement du Qu�bec. 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.

PFN is currently exploring the River Valley Project, located near Sudbury, Ontario, joint ventured 50/50 with Anglo Platinum Limited ("Anglo Platinum"), the world's largest primary producer of platinum. Anglo Platinum has committed over $19 million to the River Valley Project to date and may earn a 60% interest in the project by completing a feasibility study and a 65% interest by funding it through to production.
Current measured and indicated resources: 30.5 million tonnes containing 953,900 ounces of palladium (0.97 g/t), 329,500 ounces of platinum (0.34 g/t) and 59,500 ounces of gold (0.061g/t) with an additional 2.3 million tonnes containing 67,000 ounces of palladium (0.87g/t), 23,800 ounces of platinum (0.31g/t) and 4,000 ounces of gold (0.05 g/t) of Inferred Resources using a 0.7 g/t cut off (pt/pd). The objective of the 2006 $1.1 million Phase 9A budget was to extend the new Platinum Group Metal mineralized horizons discovered during the 2005 fieldwork and to better understand the structural controls on the mineralization. In March management presented Anglo Platinum with the 2007 work program and budget. PFN is the project operator.
