RIMOUSKI, March 24, 2020 - Puma Exploration Inc. (“Company” or “Puma”) is pleased to announce that it has sold all of the shares it held in Target Minerals Inc. (“Target”) for $400,000. The sale of the Target shares represents a continuation of Puma’s DEAR strategy to monetize non-core assets. The Target shares were acquired as part of the transaction related to the Ann's Creek and Beresford Copper properties, also known as the Nicholas-Denys project, completed with Target in August 2019 (see news release of 27/08/2019). Puma will focus its 2020 exploration actively on its Chester project, a drill ready property, and the newly acquired 100% held Jonpol Gold and Portage projects, while proceeding with due diligence on additional gold projects in the Bathurst Mining Camp (BMC).TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION
Puma sold all the shares it held in Target to a private company for a cash consideration of $400,000. Puma will keep the 1% net smelter return royalty (NSR) on the Ann’s Creek and Beresford Copper properties as stipulated in the purchase agreement with Targets (see news release of 27/08/2019). Puma has obtained from Target a final and complete release regarding any obligation that occurred during the period of time during which Puma held the shares of Target. Puma also agreed to cancel the $10,000 debenture it held in Target and also waived the obligation for Target to get listed within an 18-month period as stipulated in the purchase agreement of August 2019. Puma wishes to thank Target’s management and president for finding the purchaser as well as for arranging and facilitating the transaction diligently.
