Rimouski, Québec--(Newsfile Corp. - October 23, 2025) - Puma Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PUMA) (OTCQB: PUMXF) (the "Company" or "Puma") is pleased to announce results from its 2025 channel sampling program at the Lynx Gold Zone ("LGZ") at its Williams Brook Gold Project in Northern New Brunswick. The program revealed multiple high-grade gold intervals, including 68.90 g/t Au over 0.50 m, 54.40 g/t Au over 0.90 m, 53.00 g/t Au over 0.60 m, 48.00 g/t Au over 0.50 m and 34.50 g/t Au over 0.50 m (Figure 1).

Marcel Robillard, President and CEO, commented, "We are pleased with the results of this first channelling program at Lynx Gold Zone. It correlates well with our previous grab sampling and drilling programs. It gives us increased confidence that we can continue to refine our geological model at the LGZ and follow up with targeted drilling operations."
LGZ Channel Sampling Program
Channel sampling, more akin to core drilling, involves cutting continuous, chip-based samples across geological features on exposed rock surfaces, providing a more representative analysis than grab sampling. The 2025 program was designed to systematically sample the high-grade quartz veins visible at surface at the LGZ along a 750 m by 50 m area. One hundred forty-six (146) channels (5 cm wide by 6 to 8 cm deep) were cut to transect gold-bearing quartz veins (see Image 1). Samples ranging from 0.5 m to 1.0 m in length were then collected to respect the lithological and/or mineralogical contacts and isolate narrow (<1.0m) veins or other structures that may yield higher grades.

From the 411 samples, 55 samples grade above 1 g/t Au, with the best sample returning 68.9 g/t Au. 121 samples grade above 0.1 g/t Au, indicating that the Williams Brook Project hosts significant anomalous gold (Table 1).
The program successfully provided a detailed analysis of gold grade variability across the stripping area at Lynx. Results of the channel sampling and mapping correlate well with the established geological model, Puma's preliminary grab sampling, and the company's limited 2021-2024 drilling programs. The local variability of gold grade is characteristic of a free gold quartz vein system, and this channelling program has provided some valuable insights that will help direct future drilling programs.

About Puma's Assets in New Brunswick
Puma has accumulated an impressive portfolio of prospective gold landholdings strategically located close to roads and infrastructure in Northern New Brunswick, including the Williams Brook Project and the new McKenzie Gold Project. Both are located near the Rocky Brook Millstream Fault ("RBMF"), a major regional structure formed during the Appalachian Orogeny and a significant control for gold deposition in the region. Puma's work to date has focused on the Williams Brook property, but prospecting and surface exploration work on its other properties have confirmed their potential for significant gold mineralization.
