PUMA EXPLORATION ANNOUNCES TSXV APPROVAL FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION
Puma Exploration Inc., following its press release of Oct. 15, 2019, has obtained all necessary approvals from the TSX Venture Exchange to consolidate its common shares on the basis of 10 preconsolidation common shares for one postconsolidation common share. The consolidation will be effective at the opening of markets on Friday, October 25, 2019 (the " Effective Date "). The symbol for the common shares of Puma remains unchanged.
At the Effective Date, Puma will have 27,609,972 post-consolidated common shares issued and outstanding.
Puma has already sent a letter of transmittal to its registered shareholders outlining the procedures to follow in order to exchange their current certificates representing common shares of Puma for share certificates or DRS Advice Statements representing the post-consolidation common shares. Shareholders are asked to carefully read the instructions on the letter of transmittal in order to proceed with such exchange and can contact TSX Trust Company at 1-866-600-5869 for any questions in connection with the exchange.
DEAR STRATEGY
In connection with the current reorganization of the Company, Puma has defined a four-part strategy for 2019-2020 and beyond: Development, Exploration, Acquisition and Royalties/Ownership (DEAR).
Each part of this strategy is aimed at generating value for shareholders and are defined as follows:
- Development of the Murray Brook Deposit, where the gossan and oxide zones will be investigated to determine the economics and upside potential of the precious metal contents and recovery within these zones. The goal is to convert the surface zone materials that were previously categorized as waste to potential mineable ore.
- Exploration of our advanced stage projects located at the Murray Brook Deposit and Chester Property, aimed at discovering new satellite and contiguous deposits with our drill-ready targets. The objective is to define the 10 best drilling targets at Murray Brook and Chester.
- Acquisition of prospective new properties using our expertise and knowledge acquired in the last 15 years of exploration in New Brunswick will offer a variety of different metals exposures and potentially allow us to make new discoveries within these potential new properties.
- Royalties and ownership gained through the sell-off of non-core assets to third parties represent a potential major financial upside without direct dilution. Currently, Puma holds 14,200,000 shares (48%) of Target Minerals Inc. (1% NSR on Nicholas-Denys) and 100% of Murray Brook Minerals Inc. (0.67% NSR on Murray Brook) and will hold 5,700,000 shares (8%) of BWR Exploration Inc. (1% NSR on Little Stull Lake). Puma has also an option agreement to sell the Red Brook Project to Rio Tinto.
