Puma Exploration Inc. announce that it has received from New Brunswick's Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development, the authorization to proceed with a 4,000 tonnes bulk sample at the Lynx Gold Zone (“LGZ”). Dr. Simon Dominy, an expert in the design and implementation of bulk sampling programs, will join Puma's advisory team to supervise the Company's Bulk Sampling Program (“BSP”) to ensure proper planning and success. Dr. Simon Dominy is a mining professional whose career has included technical and leadership roles in mine operations, academia, and consulting.

He is particularly interested in the integration of geology, mining engineering, and mineral processing through the development of Total Deposit Knowledge and the application of geometallurgy. Simon has expertise in the evaluation and exploitation of various gold orebody styles and has developed skills in ore characterization; design and implementation of bulk sampling/trial mining programmes; evaluation of high-nugget effect/coarse-gold deposits; and narrow vein/highly selective mining methods. Recent projects have included: the evaluation of high-nugget effect conglomerate gold mineralization; optimization of small high-grade deposits with emphasis on evaluation, selective mining approaches, flexible processing options, and ore control; characterization of gold ores to determine sampling parameters; sampling protocol optimization; geometallurgical characterization (grade, metallurgical and geoenvironmental); and implementation of strategic and tactical geometallurgy.

As an industry practitioner, Simon is active in developing and operating several gold projects in Australia, Europe, and South America. He is a Principal Advisor/Qualified Person with Novo Resources Corporation; Director of Artemis Resources Ltd; and Group Technical Lead with private entity OCX Gold SA.
