Puma Exploration completes trenching and begins a 5,000 meters drilling program in the Murray Brook area

20.12.2017  |  Marketwired

RIMOUSKI, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec 20, 2017) - Puma Exploration Inc. (the "Company" or "Puma") (TSX VENTURE:PUM)(SSE:PUMA) has completed the second phase of a trenching program in the Murray Brook area. 29 trenches for a total of 1,900 meters were excavated at close proximity of the Murray Brook Deposit. Two (2) new showings found at respectively 100 meters west and 300 meters east from the Murray Brook Deposit (see figure 1) and will be the first priority targets. The results of the trenching program are pending.

The mineralized zones will be the sites of the first holes to be drilled in the Murray Brook area. The technical team is on site in order to get the drill sites and access road ready for the current drilling program. 5,000 meters of drilling is planned to begin at close proximity of the Deposit and will move next to the Murray Brook East Property contiguous to the Caribou Mining Lease held by Trevali Mining Corp.

Puma completed 34 trenches for a total of 3800 meters at Murray Brook East Property in the first phase of the program conducted during the fall for a total of 69 trenches in 2017. Several discoveries and observations made during the program have been helpful in the planning of the current drilling campaign. These observations include the lithologic contact between sediments (VMS host rock) and the felsic volcanics as well as mafic dikes and structures. The objective of this major trenching program was to verify the nature of the first priority targets at surface defined by Puma geologists and to locate precisely the current drilling targets. These first priority targets are based on major gravity, chargeability and Megatem (Em) anomalies identified.

Puma is proceeding with a geochemical drillcore sampling program within the footwall and hangwall zones of the Murray Brook Deposit to determine the alteration model along the favorable horizon. This alteration survey will also help defining more precisely the drilling targets.

About the Murray Brook Project

The Murray Brook Project consists of three (3) distinct contiguous areas that cover more than 18 kilometers of the favorable rocks that host the operating Caribou Mine (Trevali Mining Corp.), the Murray Brook Deposit and the past operating Restigouche Mine (Trevali Mining Corp.). From east to west, the project comprises the Murray Brook East Property (4925), the Murray Brook Mining Lease (# 252) and the Murray Brook West Property (7846) (refer to website).

The Murray Brook East and Murray Brook West Properties have been subject to various degrees of exploration and share the same potential of increasing the mineral resources defined at the Murray Brook Deposit. The Company has defined several future priority targets on these properties.

The Murray Brook deposit has a currently defined measured and indicated mineral resources of 5.28 million tonnes averaging 5.24% zinc, 1.80% lead, 0.46% copper, 68.9 g/t silver and 0.65 g/t gold. The core of the mineral resource occurs in the West Zone which is 200 meters wide, extending from surface to 300 meters vertical and the true thickness of the massive sulphide body varies from 75 meters to 100 meters. The East Zone (Copper-Gold) is 100 meters wide, also extending from surface to 300 vertical meters and is mainly mineralized with gold and copper. On February 20th 2017, a NI 43-101 report was accepted and filed on SEDAR.
