Dear Sirs,

Northwest wishes to advise that the company’s revised JORC compliant resource estimate for the Blue Spec Shear gold project will be released within 10 days upon completion of independent verification work.
Infill diamond drilling programme
Northwest further wishes to advise that the company’s current infill drilling programme at the Blue Spec deposit, which aims to convert at least the 320m to 470m vertical resource zone into the measured/indicated category to facilitate reserve calculations, is progressing well with three of six holes completed and dispatched for assaying.
Further results from this programme will be available in April.
