About River Valley Project

In January 2011, Pacific North West Capital Corp. successfully negotiated the 100% acquisition of the River Valley PGM Project from Anglo Platinum Limited. In May 2011, Pacific North West Capital Corp. commenced a $5 million drill program on the project. The program was successfully completed in May 2012.  The drilling data were combined with holes drilled previously and delivered to Tetra Tech for a new mineral resource estimation.

An indicative budget includes drilling untested and under tested drill targets in the footwall to the River Valley Intrusion at Dana North, including potential footwall embayments (Fig. 1) and magma feeder features interpreted during the 2012 exploration program, and exploration on regional properties (River Valley East and West).

The NI43‐101 compliant mineral resources for the River Valley Project effective May 1, 2012 are listed in the table below. With 2.5 Moz Pd+Pt+Au in Measured and Indicated resources, the River Valley Project is one of the largest undeveloped primary PGM projects in Canada. The project has excellent infrastructure support and is located 100 km from the city of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada's largest nickel‐copper‐PGM mining and processing centre.
