NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Puma Exploration Inc., PUMA-TSXV, (the "Company" or "Puma") announces a non-brokered private placement of $1,600,000. The Company plans to issue up to 5,000,000 units at a price of $0.32 per unit ("Unit") for gross proceeds of up to $1,600,000 (the "Offering"). Crescat Portfolio Management LLC (for itself andor for accounts managed by Crescat Portfolio Management LLC (collectively, "Crescat")), has agreed to be the lead order by making a strategic investment of $960,000 or representing 60% of the proposed financing. In addition, Crescat requested and secured participation rights that provide for an option to participate in future financings.

Proceeds from this Offering will be used to increase the current ongoing 2,000-meter diamond drill program to 10,000-meter at the Williams Brook Gold Project, located in New Brunswick, Canada and for general working capital purposes. "We are encouraged by the near-surface, high-grade gold that Puma is encountering in New Brunswick. We are excited to infuse capital to help the company with its goal of quintupling the planned meters of drilling this season," commented Kevin Smith, Crescat's Chief Investment Officer.

Marcel Robillard, President & CEO of Puma, added "We are extremely pleased to welcome Crescat, as a significant strategic shareholder of the Company as we continue to unlock the mineral potential of the Williams Brook Gold Project. The confidence Crescat and its world-renowned technical advisor, Dr. Quinton Hennigh, have shown in Puma is a vindication of our belief of the potential of the Williams Brook Gold Project. This financing will allow us to advance exploration more aggressively at our flagship project which covers 27,000 hectares of favourable geological setting."

"Puma's Triple Fault Gold Project is a grass roots success in a prolific gold belt," commented Dr. Quinton Hennigh, technical advisor to Crescat Capital. "Newfoundland has become a hot bed of exploration over the past year, but the same geology continues into New Brunswick to the southwest. Puma has identified similar high-grade gold mineralization to that seen in Newfoundland and has already identified multiple high-grade targets. Further prospecting is expected to generate more. We are very happy to join Puma as a shareholder at a time when they are beginning to drill test these exciting targets."

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable to purchase one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.50 for a period of 24 months. The Company may pay finders' fees in relation to a portion of this Offering. The Offering and payment of finders' fees are subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Offering is fully subscribed and it is expected that the closing will occur on or about August 13, 2021 (the "Closing Date"). All securities issued pursuant to this Offering and any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of warrants will be subject to a four-month hold period from the Closing Date.

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 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 with selected drill results of 11.2 g/t over 2.8m, 2.1 g/t Au over 9.0m, and 1.0 g/t over 23m .

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 altered horizon varies from 5 to 250 meters with an average apparent thickness of 150 meters.

Numerous quartz veins, quartz veinlets, stockworks and breccias were observed mostly perpendicular to the major trend and contain the gold mineralization. The OGT has never been drilled and many gold zones were discovered during the summer 2020 exploration campaign.

Gold Hits Fresh All-time High, Then Pulls Back After Fed Cuts Rates

The US Federal Reserve reduced its benchmark interest rate for the first time in four years on Wednesday (September 18), beginning its cutting cycle with a sizeable 50 basis point reduction.

The Federal Open Market Committee has held rates steady since July 2023 after starting to hike in March 2022.

Speaking at a press conference after the decision, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the US economy has come into balance, which means the time has come to cut rates. He added that the cut puts the central bank in a good position to respond quickly with changes should inflation begin to reverse or should the labor market deteriorate.
