Pacific North West Capital Corp. Announces Receipt of Mining Leases for its River Valley PGM Project, Sudbury, Ontario

Pacific North West Capital Corp. (TSX: PFN) (OTCQX: PAWEF) (Frankfurt: P7J) is pleased to announce that it has received its Mining Lease for its 100% owned River Valley PGM‐Gold Property, 70 km from Sudbury, Ontario.

  • PFN received the Mining Leases for its 100% owned River Valley PGM Property
  • River Valley is one of North America's most advanced primary platinum group metal exploration projects
  • PFN's goal for exploration is to at least double the size of the resource in order to establish a more robust open pit mine project

The Mining Leases give PFN security of title on the land and the exclusive right to mine the River Valley deposit. The Mining Leases include surface rights that allow for siting of project infrastructure and processing facilities. The Mining Leases are for a period of 21 years (commencing on November 1, 2011) and are renewable.

About River Valley Project

On April 20, 2011 PFN announced that it commenced the Phase I of a $5,000,000, 15,500 metre drill program for its 100% owned River Valley PGM Project. As of October 2011, PFN completed more than 13,500 metres of drilling and more than 140 line km of 3D IP geophysics survey. 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. This zone includes the main mineralized breccia or main zone. The main zone occurs within about 20 metres of the intrusive contact with Archean gneisses.

Alhambra Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ALH)

an international gold explorer and producer, announces that the Corporation has received the results of an initial independent National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 gold resource estimate (the "Estimate") for Alhambra's 100% owned Dombraly gold deposit ("Dombraly"). Dombraly is one of three advanced exploration project areas Alhambra is exploring within its 9,800 square kilometre ("km2") (2.4 million acre) Uzboy Gold Project located in north central Kazakhstan (see location map, Figure 1).

The Estimate was prepared by ACA Howe International UK ("ACA Howe") and Micromine Consulting Services UK ("MCS"). The Estimate includes all exploration data up to December 31, 2010. The final technical report will be filed within the regulatory required 45 days on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and will be posted on the Corporation's website.

HIGHLIGHTS

The Estimate represents the maiden NI 43-101 gold resource estimate for the Dombraly project,

301,000 ounces ("ozs") of Inferred current mineral resources contained in 9.3 million tonnes grading 1.01 grams per tonne gold ("g/t Au") have been identified (see Table 1),

An additional 22,000 ozs of Indicated current mineral resources contained in 0.60 million tonnes grading 1.22 g/t Au were identified (see Table 1).

Estrella Gold Files Colpayoc NI 43-101 Technical Report and Resource Estimate, Yanacocha District, Peru

Estrella Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EST)

is pleased to announce the submission of its NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Colpayoc Gold Project in northern Peru.

The Ordinary Krige resource estimate for the Daylight Zone shows strong gold grade continuity, and cross checks with drill composite grades, an inverse distance model, and a nearest neighbor model validate the kriged model. The resource is entirely classified in the inferred category, and at a 0.3 g/t gold cutoff totals 19.28 million tonnes averaging 0.50 g/t gold and yielding 313,000 ounces of contained gold. Of this total inferred resource, 17.883 million tonnes averaging 0.51 g/t gold are oxide, and 1.397 million tonnes averaging 0.47 g/t gold are mixed oxide-sulfide. The inferred category could be upgraded if the metallurgical characteristics of the mineralized material prove to be favorable. In addition, there is potential to expand the mineralized zone, and it remains open to the north, east, south, and southwest. Furthermore, the roots of the zone have not been drilled, and the mineralized system is open to depth.

About Estrella Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EST) The Company has 24.1 million shares issued and outstanding on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX VENTURE:EST). Estrella is a "Prospect Generator" company focused on gold exploration and resource definition in Latin America. Estrella has forty-one exploration properties in Perú, with thirty-six held in venture agreements. Estrella holds 32 properties within the exploration area that is subject to its Alliance Agreement with Cliffs.
