On April 12th 2006, PFN announced that it had signed an option to acquire up to 100% interest in a long-term exploration and mining lease from Calista Corporation, which encompassed an area of 82 square miles in the Goodnews Bay area. Previous placer operations in the streams draining the project area produced approximately 650,000 troy ounces of platinum. PFN began an exploration program on the Goodnews Bay property with the goal of identifying the lode source of the placer deposits.
In a second agreement dated February 26, 2007, Pacific North West Capital Corp. and Calista Corporation had entered into an option/joint venture agreement with Stillwater Mining Company, granting them the right to acquire up to 60% of its interest in the property.
The exploration programs conducted on the Goodnews Bay project culminated with the completion of a seven-hole, 1706 meter drill program completed over the summer field season of 2008. The drill program targeted platinum mineralization at the Last Chance showing, and at the Susie West soil geochemical anomaly. No significant platinum-palladium mineralization was identified during the program.
Based on the 2008 exploration results, Stillwater Mining Company and Pacific North West Capital Corp. have decided to terminate the exploration joint venture and have given proper notice to Calista Corporation.
Pacific North West Capital Corp. would like to thank both Calista Corporation and Stillwater Mining Company for their participation in the exploration of Goodnews Bay and look forward to potential business relationships with both parties in the future.
