Puma Exploration Extends High-Grade Lion Gold Zone to 550 Metres Strike Length
Puma Exploration Inc. announced that its summer exploration program at the Williams Brook Project has successfully confirmed and extended the Lion Gold Zone to a 550-metres strike length with the sampling of 35.40 g/t gold, 26.00 g/t gold, 12.85 g/t gold, 8.97 g/t gold,8.91 g/t gold, 6.35 g/t gold and 5.18 g/t gold in newly trenched quartz veins. The reader is cautioned that grab samples are selective by nature and may not represent the true metal content of the mineralized zone. These results highlight that the Lion Gold Zone has the potential to become another significant gold zone at Williams Brook. So far, sampling here has produced similar, if not better, results than what Lynx produced at the same preliminary stage back in 2020. With a newly defined and impressive 550 m strike length and exciting gold grades, the reader is eager to continue advancing exploration at Lion to see what this area can hold," notes Marcel Robillard, President and CEO of Puma Exploration. Three hundred ten (311) samples from eleven trenches totaling more than 1,200 metres were collected at the LiGZ this past summer to follow up on high-grade samples discovered previously. Almost all samples showed anomalous gold content, with several returning more than 5 g/t gold. Gold mineralization is found in brecciated quartz veins heavily altered by sericite and limonite and closely associated with altered mafic intrusive/dike at the contact between sediments and thick rhyolite units. The 2024 summer exploration program also detailed the Panthera Gold Zone . Twenty-three (23) trenches totaling 1,256 metres were excavated to verify priority targets identified by existing showings, soil anomalies and geophysical data. The PGZ is 12 km from the Lynx Gold Zone along the same NE striking mineralized structure. A total of 192 samples were collected with assay results from 1.00 g/t to 10.00 g/t gold confirming the potential of this zone. Not Notable highlights include 7.13 g/t gold, 5.05 g/t gold, 4.04 g/t gold, 1.82 g/t gold,1.80 g/t gold, 1.,61 g/t gold, 1;46 g/t gold, 1,35 g/t gold, 1.'t gold, 1.32 g/t gold, 1. The mineralization is characterized by quartz veins altered with sericite and limonite in a rhyolite unit containing small pyrite cubes. Under the recently announced Option Agreement with Kinross Gold, surface exploration work has already been launched and is ongoing at the Williams Brook, Portage and Jonpol properties. This includes an aerial drone magnetic survey and additional trenches to be completed as the weather permits. Details of a 2025 work program will be announced once defined by the joint technical teams. On-Site Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC") Measures Drill core and surface 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 inserted external gold standards (low to high grade) and blanks every 20 samples in addition to standards, blanks, and duplanks, and duplicates.
