VANCOUVER, April 27 /CNW/ - Pacific North West Capital Corp. ('PFN') (TSX: PFN) (OTCQX: PAWEF) (FSE: P7J) is pleased to announce the Completion of an NI43-101 Technical Report
(the Report), including a new Mineral Resource Estimate for the Black
Dog Deposit, on the Rock and Roll Gold-Silver-Polymetallic Project,
located in Northern BC. This report will be posted to SEDAR within 45
days of this News Release. The Report was prepared by Equity
Exploration Consultants Ltd. (Equity) and GeoVector Management Inc.
(GeoVector). The resource was estimated by Geovector Management Inc.
(Geovector) and incorporated the mineralized zones of the historic
drill core and the 540 metres (1772 ft) of the 5 diamond drill holes
that were completed by PFN in 2009/2010. Through this work, PFN significantly increased the resources contained within the Black dog
deposit over the previous resource estimate, completed prior to the implementation of the NI 43-101 standards of
disclosure.

The NI43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate in the 'indicated'
category consists of 2,155,679 tonnes grading 0.68 g/t Au (47,040 contained oz of Au), and 82.7 g/t Ag (5,734,445 contained oz of Ag) at a gold-equivalent cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t. The deposit also
contains 0.22% Cu (10,500,833 lbs Cu), 0.22% Pb (10,399,960 lbs Pb), and 0.94% Zn (44,522,995 lbs Zn) or 3.11 g/t gold equivalent (AuEq) for an additional 215,239 oz of Au Eq at the 0.5 g/t AuEq cut-off. The AuEq grade is based on $1000/oz Au, $15.80/oz Ag, $2.92/lb Cu,
$0.86/lb Pb and $0.86/lb Zn. Table 1 and 2 gives the mineral resource
estimate for the Black Dog deposit at varying cut-off grades.

The Black Dog massive sulphide deposit is part of a larger area that
includes the SRV Zone hosting precious metal-rich volcanogenic massive
sulphide (VMS) mineralization. These occurrences display similarities
to other precious metal-rich deposits such as Eskay Creek (50 km to the
east-southeast), Greens Creek, and other deposits of the Canadian
Cordillera (Figure 1). The mineralization on the Rock and roll property
is hosted by graphitic argillite to siltstone. The Black Dog and SRV
zones are dominated by massive pyrrhotite with blebs and lenses of
chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Massive pyrite-sphalerite forms finely
laminated lenses locally, with minor pyrrhotite, galena and
chalcopyrite.

Indicated Mineral Resources, consistent with CIM definitions required by
NI43-101, are reported at various cut-off grades in Table 1 (for Au and
Ag) and Table 2 (for Cu, Pb, Zn and gold equivalent values). Inverse
distances squared interpolation restricted to mineralized domains were
used to estimate gold (grams/tonne Au), silver (grams/tonne Ag), copper
(% Cu), lead (% Pb), and zinc (% Zn) grades into the block models.
Gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc content were combined into a gold
equivalent value (using to the prices given above) for resource
reporting.

A $1.8 million Phase I Program is recommended in the report for further
exploration at the Black Dog zone which includes initial metallurgical
testing, baseline environmental work and a major diamond drilling
program. The relatively shallow dips of the stratigraphy and conductive cover
material have hampered exploration efforts in the past. Diamond
drilling is recommended to test the conductive horizons for new mineral
occurrences and also to extend the known mineralization at the Black
Dog and SRV zones that are open along strike and down dip.

About the Rock and Roll Polymetallic Project


The Rock and Roll Polymetallic Project is under option from Equity
Exploration Consultants Ltd., First Fiscal Enterprises Ltd. and Pamicon
Developments Ltd. Under the terms of the option agreement, PFN can earn
a 100% interest in the property over a four year period by completing
$2,000,000 in exploration expenditures, paying $130,000 and providing a
total of 600,000 PFN shares to the vendors. The property consists of 11
claims totalling 4244 ha (10,487 acres) and is located in the Liard
Mining District approximately 9 km west of the Bronson airstrip and
exploration camp in northern British Columbia.

The Rock & Roll Project hosts precious metals rich, volcanogenic massive
sulphide mineralization in a volcano-sedimentary host rock package. The
mineralization shows similarities to the gold and silver rich
mineralization of Barrick Gold's past producing Eskay Creek mine.

Mineralization on the Rock and Roll Property occurs in multiple stacked
sulphide lenses in two zones, the Black Dog and SRV zones, over a
strike length of approximately 950 m. A total of approximately 14,000
metres of core drilling in 110 drill holes was completed on the
property from 1991 to 1997. Only six drill holes tested the host
stratigraphy outside of the known mineralization, but at least 5 km of
strike length of the prospective lithologies is present on the
Property.

In 2009, PFN conducted a drilling program consisted of a total of 540
metres of core drilling in five holes and flew a 350 line kilometre
airborne Time Domain EM survey.

Highlights of the 2009 drilling program includes intersections up to
1.31 g/t gold, 296.2 g/t silver, 0.46% copper, 1.25% lead, and 3.99%
zinc over 3.14 metres in drill hole RR09-107.

A 2010 Geological mapping and prospecting program was designed to verify
several geophysical electromagnetic anomalies identified by the 2009
Aeroquest AEM survey. The exploration program was carried out under the
supervision of Murray Jones, P. Geo. of Equity Exploration Consultants
Ltd. Mr. Jones is a Qualified Person as defined under the terms of
National Instrument 43-101.

PFN has also entered into the second year of a Public Geoscience
Partnership agreement with the Geological Survey Branch (GSB) of the BC
Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. Under this
agreement, two senior geologists from the GSB have now completed the
geological mapping and sampling on the Rock and Roll Project, as well
as in the district as a whole as part of the Iskut River Regional
Mapping Project. The goal of this work was to define the age and
stratigraphic association of the host rocks to the Black Dog and SRV
mineralization, and to evaluate the potential for this type of
mineralization elsewhere on the property and throughout the district.
The results of this study has been published on an ongoing basis
through various publications of the GSB, including the annual review of
fieldwork. The field work portion of the Public Geoscience Partnership
agreement is now complete on the Rock and Roll project area.

Pacific North West Capital has carried out approximately $450,000 of
exploration on Rock and Roll Project to date. The 2009 drill program
tested the Black Dog Zone and its extensionsand consisted of a total of
540 meters of core drilling completed in five holes. The first four
holes were designed to test gaps in the historic drilling on the Black
Dog Zone in order to establish the degree of continuity of the
mineralization and to confirm the historic geological model. Each of
the infill drill holes encountered the target mineralization,
confirming the continuity of the sulphide lenses and the validity of
previous geological interpretations.

The final drill hole of the program tested a strong electromagnetic
anomaly that may represent the westward continuation of the Black Dog
Zone. Drilling at this location encountered minor sulphide
mineralization near the bottom of the hole, but failed to return any
significant assays as the hole intersected a diorite dyke at the
projection of the Black Dog horizon. (see December 16th, 2009 Press
Release).
