PUM Puma Exploration (delisted)

Puma Exploration (TSX VENTURE:PUM) is pleased to announce the results of a major
core sampling program conducted at Turgeon Cu-Zn deposit, New Brunswick. Puma
collected more than 2,200 samples from earlier exploration periods, a previous
operators drilling from 1977 to 2000 and Puma's drilling initiatives from 2008
to 2011. The drill core was stored and available at the Madran Core shack in New
Brunswick.


Using the new interpretation of the Turgeon Cu-Zn Deposit, the program was aimed
to sample un-split core intervals showing disseminated copper and zinc
mineralisation between high grade copper and zinc zones to confirm the
continuity of the mineralisation from surface to approximately 300 meters deep.
Table 1 shows the new composite intervals for Puma's drill holes. Then, the data
was used to define the alteration pattern, the mineralization geometry and to
generate drill targets at Turgeon Cu-Zn Deposit.


Highlights include:



--  Sampling of 0.54% Cu and 0.31% Zn over 300.9 meters in hole FT11-04; 
    
--  Increase of 12.5% in Copper grade in hole FT09-01 from 1.04% Cu to 1.17%
    Cu over 93.2 meters; 
    
--  New interval sampled in hole FT09-01 grading 1.12% Cu over 7.0 meters; 
    
--  New interval sampled in hole FT09-02 grading 0.87% Cu and 0.38% Zn over
    4.1 meters; 
    
--  220 samples with more than 0.1% Cu and 375 samples with more than 0.1%
    Zn; 
    
--  15 new drill ready targets to increase potential copper and zinc
    mineralization at the deposit; 
    
--  20 new drill ready targets to explore regional geophysical anomalies.

(i) Intervals reported are drilled thickness and may not represent true     
    width.                                                                  



(ii)Copper equivalent grades are based on metal prices of: copper US$3.69/lb,
zinc US$0.97/lb and silver US$31.7 per oz. Metal recoveries have not been
applied in the copper equivalent calculation. The copper equivalent calculation
is as follows; Cu Eq = Cu grade + ((Ag grade/31.11 x Ag price) + (Zn grade/100 x
2200 x Zn price)/ Cu price/22).


The sampling program has successfully identified new copper and/or zinc
mineralization zones in the holes (from 1977-2000) drilled by the previous
operator leading to a better understanding of the relationship between the
various types of mineralization.

Previous drilling campaigns by Esso Minerals in 1979-82 and by Puma in 2008-11
have so far intersected three kinds of mineralization. These comprise
copper-rich stockwork zones, massive sulphide zones with high copper-zinc
values, and zinc-rich brecciated fault zones.


An Advanced 3D model build is in progress to identify the relationship of the
High grade copper zone with the massive sulphide lenses and to locate the
extension and the potential size of rich copper and zinc zones which are open at
depth and along strike. Using the new 3D model, an extensive drilling program
will be designed to allow forthe discover new sulphide lens at Turgeon within an
area of 2km from the main deposit.


About Turgeon

The Turgeon property is located only five kilometres south of the deepwater port
of Belledune, New Brunswick. The property is accessible by road all year round
and is intersected by a power line. The Turgeon property is 5,355 hectares and
is part of Puma's 13,093 hectares that is held in the Bathurst Mining Camp of
northern New Brunswick that is being actively explored.


The Turgeon Cu-Zn deposit consists, so far, of four mineralized lenses with high
copper-zinc values, distributed over a length of 450 metres. Only two holes have
reached a vertical depth of 400 metres. The known mineralized zones have thus
not been tested to depth or laterally within the favourable horizons. Also, a
number of untested surface and borehole geophysical anomalies are located within
the Turgeon area and are define as drill-ready targets.


About Puma Exploration

Puma Exploration is a Canadian mineral exploration company with advanced
precious and base metals projects in Canada. The Company's major assets are the
Turgeon Cu-Zn Project and Nicholas-Denys Silver Project in New Brunswick and the
Little Stull Lake Gold Project in Manitoba. Puma is focusing its exploration
efforts in New Brunswick, Canada, which has been ranked the best place in the
world to conduct mining exploration by the 2012 Fraser Institute Survey.
