Puma Exploration focuses on identifying and developing a pipeline of base and precious metals projects in New Brunswick, near Canada's well-known Bathurst Mining Camp. The company’s notable portfolio of gold landholdings, including the Williams Brook and McKenzie gold projects, are strategically positioned close to roads and infrastructure. With only $12M spent on exploration and 17,000 m of drilling, Puma secured a $16.75M Option Agreement for Williams Brook with Kinross Gold in October 2024, demonstrating the project’s promising potential, which has already shown high-grade gold intercepts, including 5 g/t gold over 50 m. The joint Puma/Kinross 3,500 m drilling program at Williams Brook in 2025 successfully intersected gold mineralization and included the deepest (355 m downhole) visible gold intersection drilled so far on the property.The McKenzie Gold Project has yielded grab samples containing up to 601 g/t gold. An initial drilling program is scheduled for late 2025. Aside from its exploration achievements, what sets Puma apart from other explorers is its “DEAR” business model of Discovery, Exploration, Acquisition, and Royalties. Through DEAR, Puma successfully spun-out Canadian Copper (CSE: CCI) in 2022 to advance its copper assets and is now preparing to do the same with its new Cu/Ag Legacy Project. Puma’s innovative approach to acquiring and developing projects maximizes shareholder value while minimizing share dilution.

What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?

Early-stage exploration in a fantastic jurisdiction with impressive gold grades from surface with large expansion potential. Impressive 92% gold recovery with gravity alone in preliminary met tests. Puma's successful low-cost exploration method received Kinross' stamp of approval, and we are confident that we can reproduce our success with our other 100%-owned assets to build Canada's next gold camp. Management’s “out of the box thinking” is actively de-risking the project, and the share price is at an attractive entry cost for investors at present.
