Puma intersects 1% Cu over 97 metres on its Turgeon, New Brunswick deposit
Rimouski, October 20, 2009 - In its drillhole F09-01, Exploration Puma (PUM-TSXV) has
encountered a major intersection more than 60 metres in length, including 1.5 % Cu over 63 metres
and 1 % Cu over 97 metres.
This drillhole has identified two zones (A and B) a few metres apart, consisting of copper-rich
stockworks with attractive intersections and grades. One sample of 13 % Cu over 0.60 metres, 14
samples with more than 4 % Cu, and 37 samples with more than 1 % Cu were found in a total of 102
samples.

The main goals of this drill campaign were to confirm the geologic model of the deposit, i.e., to
characterize the metal zoning of the VMS (volcanogenic massive sulphide type) model, to define the
nature of the VMS deposit in terms of various geologic parameters (structure, alteration, and
lithology), and to confirm the continuity of the mineralization present.
Objectives of the three drillholes:
- F09-01: to intersect a Cu-rich network of veins and veinlets (stockwork)
- F09-02: to intersect the Zn- and Cu-rich massive sulphide zone;
- F09-03: to investigate the continuity of the lens on surface.
