Puma Exploration launches Trenching Program at Murray Brook East Property

Rimouski, June 22nd , 2017 – Puma Exploration Inc. (the “Company” or “P uma”) begins a trenching program at

Murray Brook East Property. The reconnaissance prog ram, aimed at providing the best land access and to

evaluate the work needed to proceed with the more a dvance work as Trenching and drilling operations is done

over the entire Murray Brook Project land package ( 7,678 hectares). It appears that most of the first priority

targets are located within or very close to wood cu tting areas and along logging roads, therefore mini mum

additional work will be needed to proceed with the trenching and stripping operations prior to the dri lling

program. Thus, the first area to be explored is the Murray Brook East Property.

Murray Brook East (4925)

The Murray Brook East Property (4925) consists of 2 45 claims (5326 hectares). Its eastern boundary is

contiguous to the Caribou Mining Lease (# 246) and is located only four kilometers west of the produci ng

Caribou Mine owned and operated by Trevali Mining Corp.

The previous operators of the Murray Brook Property conducted extensive preliminary exploration work f rom

2012 to 2015 which included geophysical surveys (He liTEM, Magnetic, Gravity) and geochemical surveys

(1,853 soil samples), bringing the property to dril l-ready targets. The surveys identified 5 first pri ority targets

to be explored. The previous drilling operation alo ng the 7 km long favorable horizon was conducted in 1956

and included only 10 short holes.
