Puma Exploration Samples 19.55 g/t Gold and
3.32% Copper at its Jonpol Property
Rimouski, Québec – November 7, 2025 – Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PUMA, OTCQB: PUMXF) (the
“Company” or “Puma”) is pleased to announce that its 2025 surface sampling program at the Jonpol
Property, part of the Williams Brook Project optioned to Kinross Gold, has returned high-grade gold and
copper values up to 19.55 g/t Au and 3.32% Cu*.
Ten (10) trenches were excavated, totalling 809 metres. A total of 169 samples were collected, of which 12
exceeded 0.50 g/t Au* (see Table 1). Trench T25-10 yielded notable results, including samples with up to
19.55 g/t Au and 3.32% Cu*, as well as 5.64 g/t Au and 2.32% Cu*. Further south along the Ramsay Brook
Fault, sampling showed values of 9.05 g/t Au, 2.71 g/t Au, 1.62 g/t Au, and 1.04 g/t Au* (Figure 1). *The
reader is cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and may not reflect the actual metal content
of the mineralized zone.
These sampling results provide compelling evidence that the Ramsay Brook Fault (“RBF”) is highly
prospective for significant gold mineralization. It could host a major gold-bearing trend stretching over
at least two (2) kilometres. Additional fieldwork will further assess and delineate the extent and continuity
of the gold mineralization along the RBF, as it becomes a priority exploration target within the Williams
Brook Project.

About the Jonpol Property
The Jonpol g old property is located approximately 20 km from Puma’s Lynx Gold Zone and 5 km
northwest of the Murray Brook Deposit — the largest undeveloped polymetallic asset in New Brunswick,
now owned by Canadian Copper (CSE: CCI), a subsidiary created by Puma Exploration. The Jonpol
property has seen limited historical exploration. In 2021, Puma completed a VTEM heliborne geophysical
survey over the area, followed by a series of early-stage exploration programs marking the first systematic
work on the property in decades.
The property is predominantly underlain by sedimentary rocks intruded by mafic to intermediate
intrusions. The Petit Rocher Group, composed of Upper Silurian sedimentary rocks, covers most of the
property and is bounded to the north by the regional Rocky B rook–Millstream Fault. At the southwestern
margin, the Devonian Ramsay Brook Gabbro intrusion marks an important geological boundary.

Structural mapping reveals four major NE–SW faults on the property, with most gold showings located near
these faults or adjacent intrusive rocks, indicating strong structural control over mineralization. Historical
data compilation has identified parallel gold-bearing trends aligned with fault zones and contacts between
dikes and sedimentary units. Mafic dikes with gold mineralization have been mapped along magnetic
anomalies in the eastern, central, and northwestern property areas. Together, these factors highlight a
robust structural framework and suggest significant gold potential along a regional trend.
Jonpol’s 2025 exploration program focused on investigating and revisiting historical gold showings,
employing Puma’s established exploration techniques. Grab samples taken from trenches dug between
1985 and 1988 reported gold grades of up to 17.1 g/t Au, 14.8 g/t Au, 10.6 g/t Au, 6.8 g/t Au, 5.1
g/t Au, and 3.4 g/t Au. * The reader is cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and may not
represent the true metal content of the mineralization. Previous diamond drilling efforts yielded results
including 1.13 g/t Au across 12.0 m, 1.37 g/t Au across 6.0 m, 1.37 g/t Au over 1.4 m, 3.89 g/t Au
for 1.0 m, and 2.78 g/t Au over 1.5 m.
The mineralized quartz-carbonate veinlets at the contact between an altered gabbro and the silicified
sedimentary unit also contain abundant copper oxides (azurite and malachite) and visible chalcopyrite
crystals, highlighting the strong potential for copper on the property.
Qualified Person
The scientific and technical content of this press release has been prepared, reviewed, and approved by
Mr. Dominique Gagné, P .Geo., Vice President of Exploration, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined by
National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”).
On-site quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) measures
Grab samples are bagged, sealed and sent to ALS CHEMEX in Moncton, New Brunswick, where each
sample is crushed and pulped before being fire-assayed (Au-ICP21). The remaining coarse reject portions
of the samples remain in storage for further work or verification as needed. As part of its QA/QC program,
the Company inserts external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples in addition
to standards, blanks, and duplicates. All samples over 10 g/t gold are analyzed with a gravity finish (Au-
GRA22). Check assays are routinely performed for samples with visible gold to ascertain the gold content
of the mineralization zone.

the first 18 months).
About Puma’s Assets in New Brunswick
Puma has accumulated an impressive portfolio of prospective gold landholdings strategically located
close to roads and infrastructure in Northern New Brunswick, including the Williams Brook Project and the
new McKenzie Gold Project. Both are located near t he Rocky Brook Millstream Fault (“RBMF”), a major
regional structure formed during the Appalachian Orogeny and a significant control for gold deposition
in the region. Puma’s work to date has focused on the Williams Brook property, but prospecting and
surface exploration work on its other properties have confirmed their potential for significant gold
mineralization.
