Rimouski, Qu\u00e9bec \u2013 August 4, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PUMA; OTCQB: PUMXF) (\u201cPuma\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary Murray Brook Minerals (\u201cMBM\u201d) (70.48% held by Puma) secured a prospective polymetallic critical minerals project in Northern New Brunswick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mount McInnes Project, located approximately 50 km from Puma\u2019s Williams Brook Project (optioned to Kinross), is prospective for silver, gold, lead, zinc, copper, indium, bismuth, tungsten, molybdenum, and tin mineralization. It covers 11,837 hectares and comprises 19 claim blocks (539 claim units) (Figure 1). With two prospective polymetallic projects in its portfolio, MBM is well positioned to explore for and support Canada\u2019s domestic supply of critical metals (Figure 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcel Robillard, Puma\u2019s President and CEO, commented: \u201cThe release of<\/em> New Brunswick\u2019s Comprehensive Minerals Strategy, which aims to revitalize the province’s mineral sector and bolster domestic production of critical minerals, has resulted in a record number of claims staked in the province in the last year. The Mount McInnes Project adds a highly prospective polymetallic critical metals asset to MBM\u2019s portfolio and ensures that the company is well positioned to unlock some of the province\u2019s potential.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The claims are underlain by Cambrian\u2013Ordovician sedimentary rocks and Ordovician\u2013Devonian granites (Figure 3). Mineralization is interpreted to be associated with porphyry dykes sourced from a deeper granitic intrusion. Sulphide-bearing alteration zones, veins, and mineralized breccias contain gold, lead, zinc, and indium, as well as tungsten \u00b1 molybdenum mineralization. Potential exploration analogues considered by MBM include the Mount Pleasant porphyry system (Cu\u2013Zn\u2013In\u2013W\u2013Mo\u2013Sn) and the Coeur d\u2019Alene district in the northwestern United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mount McInnes Project has undergone limited modern exploration despite encouraging geological and geochemical indicators. The reported historical assays, soil and stream-sediment anomalies, favourable geology and geophysical targets support further systematic exploration to evaluate the property\u2019s mineral potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
