“This acquisition provides access to an advanced project consistent with our focus on politically stable jurisdictions that have sophisticated mining expertise. This is another step in our corporate strategy focusing our efforts in the Bathurst Mining Camp of New Brunswick,” notes Marcel Robillard, Puma’s President.
To proceed with the acquisition of the Murray Brook Deposit, Puma Exploration has arranged a non-brokered, non-flow-through private placement of up to 30,000,000 units at a price of $0.07, for total proceeds of $2,100,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share and one warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share at an exercise price of $0.15 per Share for a period of two years from the closing. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period commencing on the Closing Date, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. The Financing is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and a finder’s fee may be payable on portions of the Financing.
The private placement will be offered pursuant to the “Accredited Investor”, “Family, Friends and Business Associates” and “Existing Security Holders” exemptions. The use of proceeds of the Private placement will be to close the initial payments of $1.6M, to Votorantim and El Nino, and to conduct an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment( PEA) within the first half of 2017 in the context of developing a new economic and development scenario directed on the high grade Zn zones of the deposit.
During the course of the PEA, Puma’s technical team will proceed with a detailed compilation of the previous work surrounding the deposit and within the favorable horizon hosting the deposit to conduct an exploration drilling program for the 2017 field season. Also, Puma has secured a land package just west of the Murray Brook Deposit towards the past producing Restigouche Pb-Zn Mine, by map staking 40 new claims for 840 ha. With the acquisition and the new claim block, Puma will control over 15km of the favorable horizon which hosts the main Restigouche, Murray Brook and Caribou Deposits.
