PUMA ACQUIRES LARGE GOLD PROPERTY YIELDING UP TO 50.8 G/T AU

Rimouski, April 7th, 2020 – Puma Exploration Inc. ( the “Company” or “Puma”) has signed an option

agreement to acquire 100% interest in the Williams Brook Gold property. This property covers 5,190

hectares and is located in northern New Brunswick, only 25 kilometers east of our 100% held Jonpol Gold

property.

There are known gold occurrences grading up to 50.8 g/t Au, previously sampled in bedrock, within the

property. There are also numerous gold soil anomalies and extremely anomalous till samples, with up to

508 gold grains, discovered over an area of approximately 12 by 3 kilometres. Drilling has been limited to

a small area of approximately 1.4 by 0 .8 kilometres and includes significant intersections that warrant

follow-up drilling. Drill hole WB-08-04 intersected 28.0 meters grading 0.91 g/t Au within the rhyolite, which

was altered from the collar to a depth of 60.7 meters down the hole. Grades in the altered rhyolite from

WB-08-04 drill hole ranged up to 5.4 g/t Au over 1.0 meter. Other significant drill results include hole WB-

08-11 with 11.2 g/t Au over 2.8 meters. In th e same area, grab samples collected in trenches retu rned

values of 3.5 g/t Au and 14.0 g/t Au. Also, floats grading 28.0 g/t Au and 40.5 g/t Au were found.

To date, the main focus of exploration was centered on an area of approximately 2.0 by 1.5 kilometers, an

area which includes numerous gold occurrences, as well as the initial discoveries from 2005. An induced

polarization survey indicates that the alteration zones remain open to the south of the surveyed area. An

IP survey carried out in 2012 identified anomalous chargeability that remains untested to the north of the

earlier surveys. Moreover, a reconnaissance soil survey line , crossing the south end of this IP anomaly ,

returned a value of 63 ppb Au, possibly indicat ive of another alteration zone. Puma’s team is currently

compiling the data to generate the exploration program to be conducted for the 2020 field season.

Two types of gold mineralization have been identified on the Williams Brook Gold property. One type is

associated with disseminated pyrite in salmon pink altered rhyolite, with local breccia texture and quartz

veinlets. This type of mineralization has been found in two broad subparallel northeast trending zones

which have been interpreted using induced polarization, soil geochemical surveys, trenching and diamond

drilling to extend over a combined strike length in excess of two kilometers. This type of zones is known

to occur over horizontal widths exceeding 40 meters. The highest gold grades have been found in quartz

veins and heavily quartz veined rhyolite that contain variable concentrations of disseminated and/or

veinlets of pyrite. Gold-bearing quartz veins have returned up to 50.8 g/t Au. The gold-bearing quartz

veins have been observed trending northwest, approximately perpendicular to the trend of the alteration

zones.
