Puma Intersects 1% Cu Over 97 Metres on Its Turgeon, New Brunswick DepositPUMA EXPLORATION INC PUM 10/20/2009 11:35:06 AMRIMOUSKI, QUEBEC, Oct 20, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
In its drillhole F09-01, Exploration Puma (TSX VENTURE: PUM) has encountered a major intersection more than 60 metres in length, including 1.5 % Cu over 63 metres and 1 % Cu over 97 metres.
This drillhole has identified two zones (A and B) a few metres apart, consisting of copper-rich stockworks with attractive intersections and grades. One sample of 13 % Cu over 0.60 metres, 14 samples with more than 4 % Cu, and 37 samples with more than 1 % Cu were found in a total of 102 samples.

Objectives of the three drillholes:
- F09-01: to intersect a Cu-rich network of veins and veinlets (stockwork)
- F09-02: to intersect the Zn- and Cu-rich massive sulphide zone;
- F09-03: to investigate the continuity of the lens on surface.
Puma has now completed the three-drillhole, 435-metre program on its Turgeon, New Brunswick deposit. Analytical results from the first drillhole are complete and the other data will be presented shortly, in an upcoming press release. |
