Puma Exploration Update and $1,000,000 Private Placement Offering

RIMOUSKI, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec. 2, 2013) - Puma Exploration (TSX VENTURE:PUM) is pleased to provide an exploration update on activities in progress at the Nicholas-Denys and Turgeon Projects in New Brunswick. Currently, stripping and trenching programs are underway at on the Nicholas-Denys porphyry and surrounding skarn units to validate the preliminary anomalies from the recently completed IP surface geophysical survey. Following the discovery of copper and molybdenum sulphide mineralization in the first few trenches, the IP survey has been extended from the initial 31 line kms to 48 line kms to cover the entire 16 km2 of granodiorite. The results from the trenching program combined with the final interpretation IP survey results will lead to the definition of first priority targets to be drilled at Nicholas-Denys.

At the same time, stripping and trenching programs are being completed on the Turgeon South property as a follow-up to last year's new copper showing discovery. That program had discovered quartz veins ranging from 2 to 6 meters wide over a 60-meter strike length containing chalcopyrite and pyrite. Following the trenching and stripping, Puma prepared the first 12 drill pad sites for the imminent drilling program at Turgeon Copper-Zinc Deposit.
