PRESS RELEASE
PUMA EXPLORATION DRILL ED 1.00 G/T AU OVER 40.6 METERS AND EXTEND S THE GOLD
MINERALI SED ZONE INTO THE SEDIMENTS AT WILLIAMS BROOK GOLD PROPERTY
Rimouski, October 2 1th, 2021 – Puma Exploration Inc., PUMA -TSXV, (the “Company” or “Puma”) is
pleased to announce the results from six (6) additional drill holes completed within the inaugural
drilling program at its flagship Williams Brook Gold Project located in New Brunswick, an em erging
new gold district of Atlantic, Canada.
These six (6) holes were collared to test the extension into the sediments of the gold bearing quartz
veins intersected within the altered rhyolite by the previously announced six (6) drill holes (see Figure
1). These results clearly show that the gold mineralised envelope extends within the sediments and is
not restrained to the altered rhyolite near the lithological contact.
HIGHLIGHTS
■ All six (6) holes intersected continuous pervasive alteration and mineralisation:
■ WB21-12 grade 1.00 g/t Au over 40.6m including 6.93 g/t Au over 3.8m
■ WB21-09 grade 1.07 g/t Au over 36.0m including 15.52 g/t Au over 1.7m
■ WB21-10 grade 1.07 g/t Au over 14.4m including 2.24 g/t Au over 6.0m
■ Gold contained in quartz veins networks intersected at depth duplicates very well the surface grab
samples assays.
■ Significant gold minerali sation observed in the rhyolite is now recognized in the sediments thus
increasing the potential siz eof the favourable corridor.
■ High grade gold veins extending in the sediments such as: 48.2 g/t Au over 0.4m, 22.2 g/t Au over
0.7m, 20.0 g/t Au over 0.5m, 19.9 g/t Au over 0.5m and 18.8 g/t Au over 0.5m.
Marcel Robillard, President and CEO, stated: “We are pleased to confirm that the significant high
grade gold intercepts are not limited to the altered rhyolite but also extend into the sediments. It is in
line with our structural model of a N260 oriented high-grade gold bearing quartz veins network open
on both side and at depth. So far, results are impressive for a first initial 2,300 meters drilling campaign
and needless to say that we can’t wait to launch the planned 10,000m soon!''

These gold bearing quartz veins networks are consistent along the favorable contact
sediment/rhyolite and recent sampling results (see PR 2021 -10-14) confirmed the presence of other
similar systems along strike within the 7 kilometers potential O’Neil Gold Trend. Stripping and intense
sampling will then be extended an additional 300 meters NE toward the Moose Gold Zone.

CURRENT WORK PROGRAM AT WILLIAMS BROOK GOLD PROJECT
Puma's technical team continues to better define and extend the gold zones on surface by
prospecting, trenching, stripping, and intense sampling in preparation for the next drilling campaign
scheduled later in 2021. Also, a ground IP geophysical test survey is in progress over the OGT to see if
the high -grade gold zones have a specific geophysical signature. Current work programs are
highlighted on the Figure 2.

O’NEIL GOLD TREND (OGT)
The O’Neil Gold Trend (OGT) is a pervasive altered and brecciated rhyolite unit hosting significant
gold showings and occurrences followed by trenching and drilling over a strike length of 700 meters.
The geophysical signature of the OGT is expressed over 7km. The favourable unit (r hyolite) is similar
and parallel to the structures hosting the “Williams 1” and “Williams 2” Gold Zones where previous
operator drilled in 2008, 54.2 g/t Au over 2.8 meters and 1 g/t Au over 23 meters.
These trends are interpreted to be related to a major rifting in the New Brunswick Geological events
and could represent a low sulphidation epithermal gold system. Along the OGT, the width of the
rhyolite varies from 5 to 250 meters with an average apparent thickness of 150 meters.
The core-oriented maiden drill campaign was completed on August 20, 2021. It consisted of 18 holes
for a total of 2,360 meters that tested a 200-meter segment of the 700-meter-long O’Neil Gold Trend
(OGT). The assay results for the twelve (12) first holes are released and all holes intersected significant
gold mineralisation including the discovery hole WB21-02 that cut 5.55 g/t Au over 50.15 meters from
surface, including 9.88 g/t Au over 8.60 meters and 46.94 g/t Au over 3.85 meters. The assays are
pending for the remaining 6 drill holes.
