NEWS RELEASE

PUMA EXPLORATION INCREASES ITS WILLIAMS BROOK LANDHOLDINGS

Rimouski, February 1 2022 – Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PUMA, OTC: PU XPF) (the "Company" or

"Puma") is pleased to report that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% interest in 30

claims (the "South-East Moose Brook Property") contiguous to its flagship Williams Brook Gold property.

The acquisition adds by 662 ha to the Williams Brook North land package for a total of 20,662 ha (see

Figure 1). Williams Brook returned 5.55 g/t gold over 50 .15 metres in its inaugural drilling program in

2021 (see Sept. 15, 2021 News Release ) and remains the focus of the Company's 2022 exploration

program. The new claims cover a very prospective area that has seen little exploration in the past.

Puma's properties are located in an emerging Gold District with great potential. To ensure its control

of the area, the Company secured the most prospective claims surrounding the core of the Williams

Brook property.

"This new land addition further consolidate s our considerable landholdings in the area . We've

increased the overall footprint of the Willi ams Brook property and secured highly prospective and

underexplored areas," stated Marcel Robillard, President and CEO.

Over the past 15 months, the Company completed several transactions to connect a patchwork of

mining claims held by different landowners. Most of these have seen little to no modern exploration

work and have never been consolidated into a contiguous land package before.

ACQUISITION TERMS

To acquire a 100% interest in the South-East Moose Brook property (30 claims), Puma agrees to issue

the Vendor on closing:

a) 50,000 common shares of the Company and a C$10,000 cash payment;

b) 50,000 common shares of the Company on or before the first anniversary of the signing of the

agreement;

c) 100,000 common shares of the Company on or before the agreement's second anniversary.

Additional performance payments to the Vendor:

1) Cash payment of C$25,000 upon a positive preliminary economic assessment (PEA to be

defined in the definitive agreement);

2) Cash payment of C$50,000 upon a positive feasibility study (FS to be defined in the definitive

agreement);

3) One-time cash payment of C$100,000 upon commercial production (commercial

production to be defined in the definitive agreement).

The Vendor will retain a 2% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty on any commercial production from the

property. Fifty percent of the NSR, or 1%, may be purchased by Puma for $1 million. Puma retains the

right of first refusal on the remaining 1% NSR royalty retained by the Vendor. The agreement is subject

to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
