Puma Exploration (TSXV:PUM) drilled gold and lead as well as high grades of silver and zinc along the Hache area at its Nicholas-Denys Silver Project in New Brunswick, Canada. Highlights include 1.54 grams per ton gold, 446 g/t silver, 2.2% lead and 5.8% zinc over 6.4 meters as well as 1.42 g/t gold, 579 g/t silver, 3.7% lead and 5.8% zinc over 1.9 meters, the company says. ''All the holes drilled in the Hache area succeeded to intersect significant silver-gold-zinc mineralization and upgraded significantly the understanding of the silver- and gold-rich zone targets for the entire project,” says Marcel Robillard, president of Puma. “Following the new discovery in the Hache area, a stripping and trenching program is planned to discover the Hache west lens at surface and new targets defined during the current drilling program." Puma is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company with projects located in Canada.
