PRESS RELEASE

PUMA EXPLORATION SIGNS STRATEGIC LAND PACKAGE AGREEMENT

TO EXTEND ITS WILLIAMS BROOK GOLD PROPERTY

Rimouski, March 1, 2022 – Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PUMA, OTC: PUXPF) (the "Company" or "Puma")

is pleased to report that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% interest in another 341

claims ("the Claims"), in nine (9) separate claim blocks, contiguous to its flagship Williams Brook North

property. The Claims add another 7,443 ha to the land package for a total of 29,522 ha. The Williams

Brook Gold property is the ongoing focus of the Company's 2022 Exploration Program. The new claims

are located along strike of the gold trends identified at Williams Brook to date (see Figure 1). While

there's been limited exploration carried out on the C laims so far , trenching undertaken in 2021

returned gold results up to 8.67 g/t Au . Puma will compile and analyze available data this winter in

preparation for a comprehensive surface exploration program next summer.

Over the past 15 months, Puma has consolidated a patchwork of mining claims that had seen little

to no modern exploration work. The Company's successful 2021 exploration program, combined with

the initial visual observations from the current 10,000 metres drilling program at The O'Neil Gold Trend

("OGT"), were catalysts to secure more ground with similar potential contiguous to the existing

landholding.

MORE ABOUT THE CLAIMS

In 2020, a new logging road exposed potassic rhyolite rocks containing quartz veins. Trenching in the

summer of 2021 led to a gold discovery. Seven (7) out of 9 samples from an initial trench (Trench 1)

returned more than 1g/t Au with notable grades of 5.92 g/t Au, 5.15 g/t Au, 4.05 g/t gold and 3.09 g/t

Au. Following this success, 30 metres to the south, a second trench exposed the same mineralization

and returned 8.67 g/t Au, 6.18 g/t Au, 2.10 g/t Au, 1.18 g/t Au and 1.0 g/t Au.

This gold discovery appears to coincide with a large -scale mag anomaly. Puma will undertake a

detailed compilation of trenching results and geophysical data this winter in preparation for next

summer's grassroots exploration program over the entirety of the property. The Claims have never

been drilled before. The summer 2022 surface exploration work will enable the Company to identify

targets for future drilling.
