Puma Exploration Accelerates Option Agreement Payments To Acquire 100% Ownership in its Williams Brook Gold Project

 

Puma Exploration Inc., PUMA-TSXV, (the "Company" or "Puma") is pleased to announce that it has completed all the option agreement payments in order to complete the 100% acquisition of the Williams Brook Gold Project located in New Brunswick (see Figure 1).

Following the extraordinary success of the drilling campaign with discovery hole WB21-02 returning 5.50 g/t over 50.15 meters and the new gold occurrences to the northeast, extending the continuous gold mineralised corridor for more than 275 meters along the O'Neil Gold Trend, Puma accelerated the execution of all the option agreements covering the Williams Brook Property.

 

The acquisition and the consolidation of the Williams Brook Gold project began in early 2020 and most of the properties were currently standing at the second year of the four (4) years option agreements. A total of 25 contiguous claim blocks were consolidated and constitute the entire land package of the Williams Brook Property. Puma decided to accelerate the payments to fulfill all the requirements under the various agreements and proceed with the titles transfers.

 

Consequently, Puma is the 100% registered holder of the minerals rights totalling 32,214 hectares. The exploration work conducted on the property is sufficient to cover the minimum work expenditures requirement with the New Brunswick government and to renew the properites for the next few years.

 

"The aggregation of all the Williams Brook Gold claim group through the buyout of the options will enable the Company to better allocate its exploration expenditures and ensure a more efficient utilization of financial and human resources to thoroughly and systematically explore for gold on our extremely well positioned properties in the new emerging gold district of New Brunswick," notes Marcel Robillard, President of Puma Exploration.

 

  O'NEIL GOLD TREND (OGT)  

 

  The O'Neil Gold Trend (OGT) is a pervasive altered and brecciated rhyolite unit hosting significant gold showings and occurrences followed by trenching and drilling over a strike length of 700 meters. The geophysical signature of the OGT is expressed over 7km. The favourable unit (rhyolite) is similar and parallel to the structures hosting the "Williams 1" and "Williams 2" Gold Zones where previous operator drilled in 2008, 54.2 g/t Au over 2.8 meters and 1 g/t Au over 23 meters.

 

These trends are interpreted to be related to a major rifting in the New Brunswick Geological events and could represent a low sulphidation epithermal gold system. Along the OGT, the width of the rhyolite varies from 5 to 250 meters with an average apparent thickness of 150 meters.

 

The core-oriented maiden drill campaign was completed on August 20, 2021. It consisted of 18 holes for a total of 2,360 meters that tested a 200-meter segment of the 700-meter-long O'Neil Gold Trend (OGT). The assay results for the twelve (12) first holes are released and all holes intersected significant gold mineralisation including the discovery hole WB21-02 that cut 5.55 g/t Au over 50.15 meters from surface, including 9.88 g/t Au over 8.60 meters and 46.94 g/t Au over 3.85 meters.  

 

  QUALIFIED PERSONS  

 

Dominique Gagné, PGeo, independent qualified person as defined by Canadian National Instrument 43-101 standards, has reviewed and approved the geological information reported in this news release.

  QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL (QA/QC)  

 

Rock samples were bagged, sealed and sent to the facility of ALS CHEMEX in Moncton, New Brunswick where each sample is dried, crushed, and pulped. The samples were crushed to 70% less than 2mm, riffle split off 1kg, pulverise split to better than 85% passing 75 microns (Prep-31B). A 30-gram subsplit from the resulting pulp was then subjected to a fire assay (Au-ICP21). Other screen sizes available. Duplicate 50g assay on screen undersize. Assay of entire oversize fraction.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.

Is Australia on the Brink of a New Mining Super Cycle?

Mining remains as a cornerstone of Australia’s GDP and export earnings, but current global challenges such as trade disputes and price changes may be straining its foundations.

A recent FocusEconomics report tackled Australia’s resource wealth, tracing from the gold rushes of the 1850s to the iron ore and coal booms of the 21st century.
