Puma is a Canadian mineral exploration company with advanced precious and base metals projects in Canada. While the priority remains to secure and finalize the acquisition of the Murray Brook project, the emphasis will be directed towards the exploration of the new targets identified around the existing deposits at Murray Brook and Chester, but also within underexplored targets located on both favourable horizons within the properties. In order to achieve its main objectives, Puma has proposed a restructuration (press release July 25, 2019) which would not only provide the Company with more optionality on the acquisition, exploration, and development of the Murray Brook project, but would once again make Puma one of the most active exploration companies in New Brunswick.
The Company’s objective for 2019-20 also includes selling undervalued assets as to increase the value of the company to its shareholders. Puma holds 14,200,000 shares of Targets Minerals, exploring for precious metals (Gold-Silver) in New Brunswick and 4,750,000 shares of BWR Resources exploring for gold in Manitoba, and also an option agreement with Rio Tinto for the Red Brook Project in New Brunswick.QUALIFIED PERSONS AND QC/AC
