Pacific North West Capital Corp. Acquires Option on Destiny Gold Project, Qu�bec September 1, 2009 Vancouver, Canada
|
- Option to earn 60% interest in the Destiny Gold Project
- Property hosts high grade gold mineralization in quartz veins and alteration zones
- NI 43-101 compliant indicated resource of 166,863 tonnes grading 6.88 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and an inferred resource of 444,753 tonnes grading 4.46 g/t gold
- Open along strike and at depth
Pacific North West Capital Corp. ("PFN") (TSX: PFN; OTCBB: PAWEF; Frankfurt: P7J.F) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with Alto Ventures Ltd. (TSX.V: ATV) on the Destiny Gold Project (formerly the Despinassy Project) located approximately 75 km north of Val d'Or in the Abitibi-T�miscamingue region of Qu�bec. The property is road accessible, and excellent mining infrastructure and support facilities are available in nearby Val d'Or. The property consists of 175 mining claims totalling 7260 ha.
The Destiny Gold property is underlain by Archean metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. A regional scale structure, the Despinassy shear zone, transects the property. High grade gold mineralization occurs in quartz veins and alteration zones associated with this structure. Mineralization has been identified in several locations along the Despinassy shear zone on the property over a strike distance of about 4 km.
The main area of mineralization, the DAC zone, occurs over a strike length of about 600 metres. In this area, four to five identifiable intervals of quartz veining and shear-related alteration zones carry high grade gold mineralization, with drill intersections ranging up to 178.5 g/t gold over a drill width of 1.0 metres. The DAC zone hosts a NI 43-101 compliant indicated resource of 166,863 tonnes grading 6.88 g/t gold (36,892 ounces) and an inferred resource of 444,753 tonnes grading 4.46 g/t gold (63,839 ounces) as calculated by W.A. Hubacheck Consultants Ltd. in 2007 (see "A Resource Estimate of the DAC Gold Deposit, Despinassy Twp., Val d'Or, Quebec" dated January 9, 2007). The DAC zone is open along strike and at depth. The occurrence of high grade mineralization at the Darla and 20 and 21 zones to the east clearly indicates that the mineralizing system occurs across a significant portion of the property. | |

Terms of Agreement
Under the terms of the Option Agreement with Alto Ventures Ltd, PFN will pay Alto $200,000, provide Alto with 250,000 common shares of PFN, and complete a total of $3,500,000 in exploration expenditures over a four year period to earn a 60% interest in the Destiny Gold property. Subsequent to vesting of its interest, PFN will form a joint venture with ATV to further develop the project. Certain claims comprising the property are subject to underlying net smelter return royalties ranging from 1% to 3.5%, with varying buy-back provisions.
2009 Work Program
PFN has allocated a $600,000 budget to the Destiny Gold Project for 2009. The majority of the work to be completed will be infill and step-out drilling to expand the known resources at the DAC zone. | |
