Puma Exploration Adds More Claims at Triple Fault Gold Project

RIMOUSKI, Quebec, July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Puma Exploration Inc., PUMA-TSXV, (“Puma”) has increased its land package at the Triple Fault Gold Project in New Brunswick, Atlantic Province of Canada. Puma added, by staking, six (6) additional claim blocks comprising 180 new claim units for a total of 3,590 hectares, all located contiguous to the initial Williams Brook Gold property boundary. The claims were selected following a newly discovered cluster of rusty quartz boulders found during the initial ongoing reconnaissance program. Altered felsic volcanic floats were also found in this area. The Williams Brook Gold property now covers more than 26,000 hectares and Puma is the biggest landholder in the area.
“It is very encouraging to see the abundance of rusty quartz boulders occurring along an inferred mineralized trend over a length now of approximately 3.8 km. Open ground approximately 1 km northeast along the mineralized trend from the cluster of the rusty quartz boulders found were staked and we decided to increase the property to secure the highly prospective trend, but also over the entire land package,’’ notes Marcel Robillard, President, CEO of Puma Exploration.PUMA EXPLORATION ARRANGES $450,000 PRIVATE PLACEMENTPuma is undertaking a non-brokered private placement of units, for a maximum of $450,000.
