O'NEIL GOLD TREND (OGT)
The first phase of the 2020 summer exploration program led to the discovery of the O'Neil Showing, the Lynx Showing and the Pepitos Gold Zone with the presence of a significant and pervasive potential gold trend over 5.0 km along the O'Neil Gold Trend (OGT). The O'Neil Showing consists of an altered and brecciated rhyolite injected with quartz veins and quartz stockworks. The altered and brecciated rhyolite is open in all directions.

The highest gold sample, grading 128.0 g/t Au, is part of the main quartz vein (ranging from 30-50 cm) followed and sampled, so far, over 10 meters in length. The average gold grade sample of the vein of 30.86 g/t Au over 10 meters (128.0 g/t Au, 35.2 g/t Au, 18 g/t Au, 14.5 g/t Au, 10.25 g/t Au, 8.33 g/t Au and 1.74 g/t Au), was estimated from chip and grab samples collected continuously every 1.5 meters on the main vein.

Following the hand and shovel cleaning of the main vein, surrounding quartz stockworks and veinlets within the rhyolite were found, sampled and reported respectively high-grade gold of 16.90 g/t Au , 8.24 g/t Au, 6.14 g/t Au, 3.57 g/t Au, 2.2g/t Au, and 1.14 g/t Au .

TRIPLE FAULT GOLD PROJECT
The Triple Fault Gold Project includes three (3) properties named Williams Brook, Jonpol Gold, and Portage Lake, covering more than 19,147 hectares of favorable gold exploration land package. The project is located about 60 km west of Bathurst with the paved road cross-cutting the property.

Puma is currently focusing its field work on its first priority, the Williams Brook property. The Williams Brook property includes 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, gold occurrences grading up to 109.0 g/t Au, 50.8 g/t Au, 38,9 g/t Au in bedrock, numerous gold soil anomalies and extremely anomalous till samples with up to 508 gold grains that occur over an area approximately 12 by 3 kilometers.

There has been very limited drilling and exploration in the area mapped to be part of the Dunnage Zone hosting major gold deposits and gold occurrences in siluro-devonian rocks and considered as an emerging gold exploration and development district.

Rich Checkan: US$3,800 Gold a Minimum This Cycle, US$90 Silver “Very Doable”

Rich Checkan, president and COO of Asset Strategies International, explained to the Investing News Network why the gold price fell after the US election, as well as why he thinks the bull market is nowhere near over.

He sees the yellow metal reaching US$3,800 to US$5,700 per ounce during this cycle.

“Post-election we had a selloff, which I think was wonderful and needed and healthy. These are buying opportunities, this is not the end of the bull market — not even close. None of the factors suggesting that are firing right now,” he said.

4 Biggest ASX Precious Metals ETFs in 2024

Gold has long been the standard bearer for investors looking to diversify their portfolios, hedge against inflation or access a safe haven in times of trouble. However, it often overshadows other precious metals, including silver, platinum and palladium, that offer similar benefits at differing prices.

Like gold, these metals have low or negative correlations with the stock and bond markets, reducing risk and protecting against volatility. Industrial use in the manufacture of solar panels and within the auto industry is increasing demand for these metals.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded products (ETPs) offer an alternative for those seeking exposure to precious metals. While investing in physical metals has benefits, it also has its share of challenges, including reduced liquidity, storage concerns and premiums from sellers.
