PUM TSXV

Rimouski, September 2, 2009 – Puma Exploration (PUM-TSXV) has started drilling on the Turgeon

property in New Brunswick with the goal of performing a resource calculation compliant with

Standard 43-101.

The objective of the first of five holes is to characterize metal zoning and better define the

metallogenic model. The hole, about 200 metres long, will be oriented so that it passes through two

consecutive mineralized zones and verifies the extent of mineralization in this direction.

Compilation and sampling of earlier drill holes will also be performed in order to identify all

mineralized zones and prepare a resource calculation that complies with Standard 43-101.

The Turgeon deposit is located only 20 kilometres north of the Nicholas-Denys property, and 5 km

south of the deepwater port of Belledune. The property is accessible by road all year round, and is

crossed by a power line.

Since work started in 1958, 132 holes have been drilled on the deposit for a total drill advance of

more than 26,630 metres. In 1983, Esso Minerals used the drilling results to estimate an historic

resource of 1.5 to 2.0 million tonnes grading 1.5% Cu and 4% Zn. These mineral resource estimates

were carried out before Standard NI 43-101 was put in place, and it is not certain that Puma's work

will confirm the historic resources. They are presented for information purposes, to illustrate the

scope of the mineralization.

The deposit consists of four lenses of rich zinc-copper mineralization, two of which are exposed on

surface. By way of example, drill intersections with 12.4% Zn and 1.8% Cu over 8.7 metres, and

10.7% Zn and 0.7% Cu over 10.1 metres have been encountered in one of the zinc-rich lenses.

Spectacular copper intersections are also found,
