Puma Finds 3.7 Percent Copper Showing via Trenching

Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV:PUM) announced results from a fall 2015 exploration program at its Turgeon copper-zinc project in Northern New Brunswick. One highlight was the discovery of a new copper showing grading up to 3.7 percent copper.
As quoted in the press release:

The Program at Turgeon was directed to locate precisely the extension of the favourable fertile mafic volcanic horizon hosting the known mineralized zones at Turgeon. The work also included the trenching and stripping of additional surface targets which lead to the discovery of a new copper showing grading up-to 3.7% Cu in the vicinity of the Zinc Zone Lens and the stripping of the previous Jaspe Copper showing grading 21% Cu et 26% Cu.

Further highlights include:

• Completion of 18 line-kilometers of Geophysical IP Orevision ground survey in collaboration with Abitibi Geophysics;
• Completion of an alteration study including the sampling of 243 outcrops located from the Dragon Zone toward southwest direction to locate the favourable volcanic horizon hosting the mineralized VMS;
• Excavation of seven (7) trenches for a total of 300 meters mainly located between the Zinc Zone and the Dragon lenses;
• Significant Cu stockwork mineralization zone discovered at surface in trench TT15-05 located at the end of the Zinc Zone area and correlating with drilling results at depth including 2.2% Cu over 2.1m (FT15-01) and 1.2% Cu over 2.4m (FT15-03);
• Stripping and sampling of previous copper showing “Jaspe Copper” revealing the highest copper grade collected at surface with 21% Cu and 26% Cu.
