RIMOUSKI, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Apr 6, 2015) - Puma Exploration (TSX VENTURE:PUM)(SSE:PUMA) has now completed its initial 2015 drill program at its Turgeon Copper-Zinc VMS project in New Brunswick. The spring program includes four (4) holes for a total of 1,617 meters of drilling into the Dragon sulphide zone that was discovered in 2014. All the holes encountered key intercepts of Cu stockworks and massive to semi-massive sulphide horizons in drill core. All holes were extended deeper than the planned 300 meters depth due to the persistence of sulphide zones to downhole depths between 300 to 400 meters. The mineralization consists of multiple massive sulphide layers ranging from 10 cm to 13 meters interlayered with semi-massive (25-75%) to disseminated (5-20%) sulphide mineralization. The sulphide mineralization is composed of pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite.

The Turgeon property is located within a few kilometers of a deep water port of Belledune. The property is accessible by road all year round, and is crossed by a power line.

The Dragon Zone was discovered in late-2013, approximately 200 meters south of the main Powerline and Zinc Zones. Drillhole FT13-13 intersected 4 meters of massive sulphide grading 1.01% Cu and 0.78% Zn. The autumn 2014 drill program included an intercept of massive sulphides grading 5.66% Zn, 0.38% Cu and 2.3 g/t Ag over 6.8 metres starting downhole at 219.1 meters and includes 10.05% Zn and 0.23% Cu over 2.7 metres. (Drill Hole FT14-05). The surface expression of the Dragon zone is 300 meters long by 75 meters wide within the favorable corridor which extend for at least 2km on each side of the Dragon zone.
