$2,100,000 Non-Brokered Private Placement

VANCOUVER, June 23, 2011 /CNW/ --
VANCOUVER, June 23, 2011 /CNW/ - Pacific North West Capital Corp. (TSX:
PFN; OTCQX: PAWEF; Frankfurt: P7J) (the 'Company') is pleased to
announce a non-brokered private placement of up to 7,000,000 units
consisting of non-flow-through units ('NFT Units') at $0.30 per NFT
Unit consisting of one-half of one non-flow-through share purchase
warrant ('NFT Warrant') and flow-through units ('FT Units') at $0.35
per FT Unit.  Each NFT Unit will consist of one common share in the
capital of the Company and one-half of one non-flow-through share
purchase warrant ('NFT Warrants'), each whole NFT Warrant entitling the
holder thereof to purchase one additional common share of the Company
at a per share price of $0.40, subject to accelerated expiry, such
expiry being accelerated to 30 days in the event the Company's shares
have closed at or above a price of $0.50 per share for 10 consecutive
trading days.

Each FT Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the
Company and one-half of one non-flow-through share purchase warrant
('FT Warrant'), each whole FT Warrant entitling the holder thereof to
purchase one additional common share of the Company at a per share
price of $0.45, subject to accelerated expiry, such expiry being
accelerated to 30 days in the event the Company's shares have closed at
or above a price of $0.60 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

The NFT Warrants and FT Warrants will expire 18 months from the closing
date.

The proceeds from the flow-through portion of the private placement will
be used for the further development of the River Valley PGM Project
located in the Sudbury region of Ontario (see news releases dated May
17, 2011, May 31, 2011 and June 15, 2011); the Destiny Gold Project,
located approximately 75 km north of Val d'Or in the
Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, Québec (see news release dated March 7,
2011); and the Rock and Roll project located in the Liard Mining
District approximately 9 km west of the Bronson airstrip and
exploration camp in northern British Columbia (see press release dated
April 27, 2010). The Rock and 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. Proceeds from the non-flow-through portion of the financing
will be used for the above; for the advancement of the Company's Alaska
property, and for the acquisition of additional platinum group metals,
precious metals and base metals projects in Canada, the United States
and Africa. 

A finder's fee may be paid. The foregoing is subject to regulatory
approval.

About Pacific North West Capital Corp.


Pacific North West Capital Corp. (TSX: PFN; OTCQX: PAWEF; Frankfurt:
P7J.F) is a mineral exploration company whose corporate philosophy is
to be a project generator, explorer and project operator with the
objective of option / joint venturing its projects through to
production. In January 2011, Pacific North West Capital successfully
negotiated the 100% acquisition of the River Valley PGM Project from
Anglo Platinum Limited, making Anglo Platinum the largest shareholder
of PFN holding approximately 12% of the Company (as of January, 2011).
In special situations, like our 100% owned River Valley PGM Project,
the Company is prepared to fund the project through to feasibility and
on to production. The River Valley PGM project is one of North
America'ʹs newest and largest primary platinum group metals (PGM)
deposits. The project has an excellent infrastructure and is located 60
mile from Sudbury, Ontario., one of Canada's largest mining centres
with 2 large capacity mineral processing facilities that have extra
capacity

On January 24, 2011, PFN announced a new NI43-101 mineral resource
estimate on the Destiny Gold Project which is situated 75 km near
Val-d'Or, Québec (see news release dated January 24, 2011). The Destiny
Project is under option from Alto Ventures Ltd. ('Alto'). Under the
terms of the option agreement, PFN can earn a 60% interest in the
property over a four-year period by completing $3.5 million in
exploration expenditures, paying $200,000 and providing a total of
250,000 PFN shares to Alto. The Company also has PGM, gold and base
metal projects in BC, Québec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alaska and
continues to aggressively acquire new acquisition of additional
platinum group metals, precious metals and base metals projects on an
international scale.

On April 20, 2011, PFN announced that it has commenced the Phase I of
the $5 million, 15,500 metre drill program for its 100% owned River
Valley PGM Project and results are expected in May 2011. Work to date
at River Valley suggests that the best potential for economic
accumulations of PGM-Cu-Ni sulphide mineralization is within the
Breccia Zone, which includes the main mineralized breccia zone The Main
Zone occurs within about 20 metres of the intrusive contact with
Archean gneisses. This contact zone extends for over 9 km of
prospective strike length, holds the current defined resource and is
the main target of the Company's renewed exploration efforts.

In addition, PFN is a significant shareholder of Fire River Gold Corp
(FAU:TSX.V) which company is developing the Nixon Fork Gold Mine in
Alaska, with production slated to commence in summer of 2011. (click
