In exchange of its interest in the Ann’s Creek and Beresford Copper properties and in some surface rights, Puma has received $100,000 in cash, $10,000 in debentures and 14,200,000 shares of Targets Minerals representing approximatively 48% of the current and outstanding shares of the company.

Puma constitutes the largest Targets Minerals shareholder and both managements will work together to create a major new active player in Northern New Brunswick with the initial focus on precious metal (Gold-Silver). Targets Minerals plans to list its shares on a Canadian Stock Exchange within the next 18 months.
‘’We are very happy to close the transaction in such an efficient and timely manner. The direct equity ownership (48%) in Targets Minerals will provide a great exposure to the Gold and Silver upside within the current precious metals renewed interest markets. Puma and Targets Minerals will work closely together to explore and develop the projects’’ notes Marcel Robillard, President and CEO of Puma Exploration.
