Puma Completes Extended Drill Program at Turgeon Project

Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV:PUM) announced that it has finished the most recent drill program at its New Brunswick-based Turgeon copper-zinc project.

As quoted in the press release:

The original 1,000 meter drill program was increased to 1,722 meters because the VMS targeting model returned key intercepts of Cu-Stockwork and semi-massive to massive sulphide horizons in the drill core.

The most significant drillhole is FT14-05 in which 115 meters of sulphide mineralization was intersected from 190 meters to 305 meters down hole. The mineralization consisted of multiple massive sulphide layers ranging from 20 cm to 8 meters interlayered with semi-massive (25-75%) to disseminated (5-20%) sulphide mineralization. The sulphide mineralization is composed of pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite and only few meters of core contain less than 5% sulphide.

Marcel Robillard, president of Puma, said:

The objective of the recently completed drill program was to discover additional higher grade Cu-Zn mineralization in the Dragon Zone area. The program successfully identified Cu-Stockwork in the first three holes that led to the discovery of massive sulphide horizons in the last two holes. We are very pleased that the drill program effectively confirmed the presence of a new VMS system using our own targeting model at Turgeon.
