About El Nino Ventures

El Nino Ventures Inc. (ELN) has in the past years been a base metals exploration company with its focus

being on the Murry Brook Project in the Bathurst region of New Brunswick, Canada. ELN signed an

option to purchase agreement regarding the sale of its interest on this project (news release: October 13,

2016) with Puma Exploration (Puma) for $3.1 million. A final payment of $1.0 million is due June 30,

2020. In the event Puma does not satisfy the conditions of the sale agreement, then ELN shall retain its

32.1% interest in the Murry Brook Project as well as receiving the geological information, reports,

metallurgical tests and the surface copper zone drill sampling which to date represents about $2.4 million

in exploration work completed on the Murray Brook Project since ELN entered into the original sale

agreement with Puma. Additionally, in the event that Puma does not proceed with the final $1.0M

payment before July 31, 2020, a 0.67% royalty (NSR) on the Murray Brook Project will be granted to

ELN under the same terms as the existing royalty in the Purchase Agreement or, at the option of Puma

and subject to prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, Puma will issue to ELN 1.5 million shares of

Puma. The Company continues to investigate new acquisitions for ELN, and plans to use the Prospector

Generator model which reduces risk, share dilution and increases discovery potential.
