The offering is fully-subscribed and expected to close on or around December 18, 2020, or such other date as the corporation may determine. The offering is conditional upon receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes.

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.

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). Rock sample ICP results with gold >1g/t were subjected to a metallic screening (Au-SCR24) 1kg pulp screened to 100 microns. Other screen sizes available. Duplicate 50 g assay on screen undersize. Assay of entire oversize fraction.

Top Stories This Week: Gold Ends May in the Red, Namibia News Spooks Uranium Stocks

The month of May is now over, and for gold it was a time of downward momentum. After rising to the US$2,050 per ounce level early on, the yellow metal finished the period at around US$1,960, up from its lowest point of about US$1,940.

This week brought a resolution on the debt ceiling, with US President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy taking a proposed deal to Congress. By Thursday (June 1), it had made it through both the House and the Senate, allowing the country to avoid a default. The news came only a few days ahead of the deadline, which was set for this coming Monday (June 5).

With the deal now approved, the debt ceiling has been suspended until January 1, 2025.

Chris Blasi: Gold Bull Market Now in Third Leg, Here's What Comes Next

Gold has spent a fair amount of time above US$2,000 per ounce this year, although more recently it's pulled back.

What has demand for the yellow metal looked like in 2023? Speaking to the Investing News Network, Chris Blasi, president of Neptune Global, said he's seen high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth buyers entering the market.

"January, February started off a little on the slow side. Then comes March, and here in the US we had this banking crisis — the failure of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank up in New York and then most recently First Republic Bank. What we've seen is a large influx of what we call high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth investors," he said during the interview.

Snowline Gold (CSE:SGD)

Snowline Gold Purchases Mineral Property Portfolio with Historical Drill Results Of 2.1 Grams Per Tonne Gold Over 96.0 Metres on Intrusive Target Near Rogue Project’s Valley Discovery

SNOWLINE GOLD CORP. (TSX-V:SGD)(OTCQB:SNWGF) (the "Company" or "Snowline") is pleased to announce purchase from two arm's-length entities of a mineral property portfolio comprising 92 claims in the vicinity of its Rogue Project in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Historical work on these claims suggests the presence of multiple reduced-intrusion related gold systems (RIRGS) within the Rogue Plutonic Complex, the geological system which hosts Snowline's Valley discovery. A historical diamond drill intersection at the "Reid" target roughly 8 km east of Valley and 4 km east of Gracie reported 2.1 g/t Au over 96.0 m within 234.7 m of 0.94 g/t Au, including high-grade intersections of 76.9 g/t Au and 26.7 g/t Au over 1.5 m each, within a granodiorite stock with similarities to the Valley intrusion. These results have not been verified by the Company, but descriptions of geology and mineralization intersected by this drilling, including visible gold in sheeted quartz veins and the poly-phase nature of the intrusion, are consistent with observations made in drilling at Valley, demonstrating the potential for regional gold fertility.
