Taylor says Pacific Northwest is worth buying Pacific North West Capital Corp PFN Shares issued 8,492,000 Dec 29 close $0.47 Wed 29 Dec 99 In the News Writing in the December issue of Gold Resource & Environmental Stocks, Jay Taylor initiates his newsletter coverage of Pacific Northwest Capital, rating the company a buy. Mr. Taylor says that he is generally shying away from exploration companies given the current depressed metals markets but, in select instances, times like these provide an opportunity to purchase junior companies with extraordinary properties and efficient funding arrangements in place. According to Mr. Taylor, Pacific Northwest qualifies as one of those instances. He bases his recommendation on a number of factors. First, the company holds a large land position near Sudbury, Ont., in one of the most promising platinum group metals (PGM) exploration targets in North America. Second, the price of platinum and palladium have remained strong relative to gold. Third, Mr. Taylor believes PGM prices will continue to rise. Fourth, central banks are not in a position to "manage" PGM prices lower. Fifth, the company's joint venture agreement with Anglo American Platinum Corporation Ltd. should allow exploration to proceed without major share dilution.
