Puma Exploration Completes Property-Scale Airborne Radiometric Survey

Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PUMA) (the "Company" or "Puma") is pleased to announce that it has completed a 2,185 line-km airborne radiometric survey that covers the entirety of its 20,000 ha Williams Brook Property in New Brunswick, Atlantic-Canada. The radiometric survey will help identify potassic alteration and potential associated gold mineralisation across the property.

In addition, building on the success of its inaugural drilling program, Puma extended its 2021 VTEM and magnetic survey to cover an additional 1,015 line-km over the new claims staked and optioned in 2021. The geophysical signature of Puma's major discovery of 5.55 g/t Au over 50.15 m along the O'Neil Gold Trend ("OGT") ( see Sept. 15, 2021 press release ) will be applied to the new VTEM data set to identify new prospective anomalies.

The compilation and analysis of the new VTEM data along with the radiometric survey, the latest assay results, and structural and surface mapping data will identify new drilling targets for Puma's upcoming 10,000 m drilling program.

PAIRING GEOPHYSICS WITH THE LATEST DRILL RESULTS TO INFORM THE NEXT ROUND OF DRILLING
This summer, Puma successfully drilled 2,300 m at Williams Brook and made a major discovery with 5.55 g/t Au over 50.15 m along the O'Neil Gold Trend ("OGT") within the inaugural drilling program which include continuous and extensive gold mineralisation from surface as 1.16g/t Au over 48.70 meters. High-grade gold mineralisation was found to occur along the prominent geophysical anomaly identified by the Winter 2021 survey, at the contact between rhyolite and sediments, in networks of brecciated quartz veins. 3D structural analysis of the quartz veins is being carried out to determine the orientation and dip of the high-grade gold-bearing veins to optimize future drilling operations.

The 2021 VTEM survey indicated that the OGT extends for over 7 km. The newly expanded survey will map the rhyolite and sediment contact across the 20,000 ha property. The geophysical signature of Puma's latest discovery will also be applied to the new data set to identify additional prospective targets across the land package.

HIGH-RESOLUTION AIRBORNE RADIOMETRIC SURVEY
Epithermal gold deposits range from thin quartz veins to large disseminated deposits located in various geological environments. They exhibit a wide range of geophysical signatures. Hydrothermal alteration in these deposits causes pronounced changes in the physical properties of rocks. Magnetic susceptibility and remanence decrease; potassium content commonly increases, causing an increase in radioactivity; electrical resistivity changes by up to two orders of magnitude; and density increases or decreases depending on the nature of the host rock and alteration processes.

Airborne radiometric surveys determine the natural radioactivity of near-surface rocks and soils using a gamma-ray spectrometer installed in a helicopter. They are useful in mapping the large potassic-alteration haloes of low sulphidation epithermal Au-Ag deposits that often extend over several square kilometres.

Investor Education: Gold vs. US Dollar Outlook with Expert Don Hansen

Private investor Don Hansen has honed his resource sector investment approach for more than 20 years, and he shared his latest research in a conversation with the Investing News Network.

He discussed the US dollar's rise and fall as the world's reserve currency, as well as how China is shifting away from the dollar and toward gold. Hansen also went over data on the inverse relationship between the gold price and the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX), explaining how decades-long patterns show where both are heading.

"The exciting part to me is when we look at the previous data you can see that the stock market phase is about to end. It's at a very high level and it's at the end of its period," he explained during the interview.

Goldman Sachs Bullish on Commodities, Shares 2024 Price Calls for Gold and Copper

Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is maintaining its bullish stance on commodities as they continue to enjoy strong cyclical and structural support, and as the US and Europe move closer to cutting interest rates.

The American investment bank said it sees raw materials potentially returning 15 percent in 2024.

“We find that US rate cuts in non-recessionary environments lead to higher commodity prices, with the biggest boost to metals (copper and gold in particular), followed by crude oil,” Bloomberg quotes analysts Samantha Dart and Daan Struyven as saying in a note this past Sunday (March 24). “Importantly, the positive impact on prices tends to increase with time, as the growth impulse from looser financial conditions filters through.”
