August 20, 2007, Vancouver, BC -- Pacific North West Capital Corp. (PFN) is pleased to announce that it has completed Phase One of a 4,000 metre drill program on its West Timmins Nickel property. The first phase consisted of 8 diamond drill holes (2534 metres) testing deep EM and off hole Pulse EM targets south of Xstrata's Montcalm Mine. The balance of the program (1,500 metres) will begin shortly. The drill targets are geophysical expressions similar to those that have been noted over the Montcalm deposit, as well as, off-hole conductors identified from the down hole surveys in the 2005 drill program.
