Puma Exploration Mobilises Crew for Its 2023 Drilling Program at the Williams Brook Gold Project

Puma Exploration Mobilises Crew for Its 2023 Drilling Program at the Williams Brook Gold Project

Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PUMA, OTCQB: PUMXF) (the "Company" or "Puma") is pleased to announce that drilling will begin shortly on its 100%-owned Williams Brook Gold Project in Northern New Brunswick, Atlantic Canada. A technical crew will be mobilized next week in preparation for the Company's planned 2023 drilling program.

The first phase of drilling will focus on definition and expansion of the high-grade gold intercepts (see Table 1) and interpreted high-grade gold shoots at the Lynx Gold Zone ("LGZ"). The LGZ is Puma's main area of focus. The zone currently covers 750 m of strike, a 75 m width, and has been defined to a depth of ~100 m.

Since 2021, Puma has systematically drilled 13,100 metres at the LGZ along the favourable rhyolite/sediment contact that hosts gold-bearing quartz veins. Recent data compilation has identified three main areas of gold enrichment with several potential high-grade gold shoots that plunge 25 degrees NE (see Figure 1). Extending these high-grade gold shoots at depth is Puma's priority in the upcoming 2023 Drilling Program.

Marcel Robillard, President, and CEO commented: " The Lynx Gold Zone has significant expansion potential. Our upcoming drilling season will focus on confirming and expanding the interpreted high-grade gold shoots at depth and step-out drilling will add to the zone's gold inventory. The Williams Brook Gold Project represents one of the hottest gold exploration plays in New Brunswick and we're excited to further develop our asset in 2023."

Following this first 3,000 to 4,000 m of drilling for the high-grade gold depth expansion of the Lynx Gold zone, the drill rig will be moved to test the favourable rhyolite/sediment contact along a 3 km extension to the northeast which is underlain by a large magnetic anomaly that could represent the source of the gold mineralisation (see Figure 2). The planned 3,000 m of drilling will target high-grade mineralisation sampled during last fall's surface trenching program at the Lynx Gold zone.

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE 2023 DRILLING PROGRAM

â–  Test the interpreted high-grade gold shoots in the core of the Lynx Gold zone and extend them beyond 100 m depth;

â–  Confirm that the high-grade gold mineralisation sampled at surface along the 3 km NE extension of the LGZ continues at depth;

â–  Define an internal block model of the gold mineralisation at surface in preparation for the selection of the upcoming 4,000t bulk sample (see February 28, 2023, News Release);

â–  Test new regional targets along strike beyond the 3 km extension.

Freegold Intersects 4.63 g/t Au over 65.9 Metres at Golden Summit

Freegold Intersects 4.63 g/t Au over 65.9 Metres at Golden Summit

 Freegold Ventures Limited (TSX: FVL) (OCTQX: FGOVF) ("Freegold" or the "Company") is pleased to report initial results from the 2024 drill program. Thirteen holes have been completed, with two more in progress. The 2024 drill program is targeting the western extension as an area that holds significant promise for higher grades closer to surface and at depth.  The presence of this higher-grade material, along with promising ongoing metallurgical testwork, can potentially further enhance the overall project economics. The focus for 2024 will be on optimization, which will involve additional drilling, including drilling large-diameter holes (PQ) to facilitate additional metallurgical testwork.
