PRESS RELEASE
Puma Extends the Murray Brook Deposit Southwest with a drill intercept of 6.60% Zn,
1.70% Pb, 0.53 g/t Au, 71 g/t Ag, 1.15% Cu over 10 meters
Rimouski, November 9 th , 2017 – Puma Exploration inc. (the “Company” or “Puma”) is pleased to
announce the results of drillholes MB17-02 and MB17 -03 from the 2017 drilling program at its Murray
Brook Deposit in New Brunswick. Hole MB17-03 inters ected the surface rich zinc and copper zone grading
6.60% Zn, 1.70% Pb, 0.53 g/t Au, 71 g/t Ag, 1.15% C u over 10 meters and a new copper stringers zone
grading 1.02% Cu over 26 meters.
The 2017 preliminary drilling program consisted of three (3) holes (774m), including one deep hole and two
shallow, the first was designed to verify the exten sions, at depth, of the Murray Brook Deposit. As re leased,
Hole MB17-01 successfully intersected impressive massive sulphide mineralization over 405 meters grading
3.3% Zn, 1.1% Pb, 0.95g/t Au, 42g/t Ag, and 0.30% Cu (see press release of October 31 st , 2017). The two
shallow holes followed to confirm the continuity of the fertile Caribou Horizon near the known deposit.
Hole MB17-03 intersected a new zone of copper strin gers near surface grading 1.02% Cu over 26 meters
including a higher zone with 1.47% Cu over 13 meters . This new zone opens the western side of the
Murray Brook Deposit along the favorable and fertil e Caribou Horizon which shows over a length of one
kilometer high priority targets (refer to Figure 1) . Results from hole MB17-02 allowed to outline str uctural
constraints and to orient future exploration work.
These priority targets are indicated by major gravity, chargeability and Megatem (EM) anomalies. In light of
the results from these holes, Puma has started an i mportant exploration program in the vicinity of the newly
expanded southwest section of the Deposit which will include trenching and drilling operations.
Hole MB17-02
Hole MB17-02 was collared in the south part of the West Zone (Zinc) and drilled at a -45° declination for a
total depth of 72 meters. A major fault with a widt h of 8 meters was intercepted and consisted mainly of
quartz veins. The sediments in this hole were less altered with a few intervals of felsic volcanic int erbedded.
The best intersection was 0.42 g/t Au, 0.96% Pb+Zn over 2.7 meters located in the altered footwall
sediments. However, hole MB17-02 does confirm prev ious exploration results and directs the upcoming
exploration program to the more favourable Caribou Horizon located directly west of the hole.
Hole MB17-03
Hole MB17-03, drilled at a -50 declination to a tot al depth of 153 meters, is located at the western b oundary
of the West Zone (Zinc) of the Murray Brook Deposit (refer to figure 2). The hole encountered three (3 )
separate significant zones:
1) a Gossan zone, 6 meters wide grading 0.96 g/t Au, 255 g/t Ag, 5.95% Pb;
2) a massive sulphide zone of 10 meters width, having grades of 6.60% Zn, 1.70% Pb, 0.53 g/t Au, 71
g/t Ag, 1.15% Cu and;
3) a stringer zone, 13 meters in width grading 1.47% Cu, 0.62% Zn.

The entire hole is located mainly inside the footwa ll alteration sediments of the Deposit and opens th e
mineralized zone westward at depth along the fertil e Caribou Horizon. Please refer to Table 1 for high lights
of the results.

As commented by Marcel Robillard, President of Puma : “The hole MB17-03 has significantly expanded and
opened the discovery area of the Murray Brook Depos it toward west along the fertile Caribou Horizon. I t
allows us to further increase the footprint of the deposit closer to the surface and will focus curren t
exploration efforts along the Caribou Horizon at proximity of the Murray Brook Deposit“.
Exploration Program
The next phase of the 2017 exploration program has begun on one (1) kilometer of prospective new area in
the western part of the Murray Brook Deposit and wi ll consist of trenching and drilling. Puma’s geolog ists
have defined several new high priority targets base d on their stratigraphic location and proximity to the
Deposit. These targets are along the fertile Caribo u Horizon, where an historic hole intersected 2.10% Cu
over 1.9 meters near a major chargeability anomaly and two (2) gravity anomalies (see Figure 1).

About the Murray Brook Project
The Murray Brook Project consists of three (3) dist inct contiguous areas that cover more than 18 kilom eters
of the favorable rocks that host the operating Cari bou Mine (Trevali Mining Corp.), the Murray Brook
Deposit and the past operating Restigouche Mine (Tr evali Mining Corp.). From east to west, the project
comprises the Murray Brook East Property (4925), th e Murray Brook Mining Lease (# 252) and the Murray
Brook West Property (7846) (refer to website).

The Murray Brook East and Murray Brook West Propert ies have been subject to various degrees of
exploration and share the same potential of increas ing the mineral resources defined at the Murray Bro ok
Deposit. The Company has defined several future priority targets on these properties (see Figure 2).
The Murray Brook deposit has a currently defined me asured and indicated mineral resources of 5.28 million
tonnes averaging 5.24% zinc, 1.80% lead, 0.46% copp er, 68.9 g/t silver and 0.65 g/t gold . The core of
the mineral resource occurs in the West Zone which is 200 meters wide, extending from surface to 300
meters vertical and the true thickness of the massive sulphide body varies from 75 meters to 100 meters. The
East Zone (Copper-Gold) is 100 meters wide, also ex tending from surface to 300 vertical meters and is
mainly mineralized with gold and copper. On Februar y 20 th 2017, a NI 43-101 report was accepted and filed
on SEDAR.
