Puma Exploration Inc.
Puma Exploration Inc. is a Rimouski-headquartered explorer and the largest claim owner in Northern New Brunswick, Canada. Its current focus is the ~40,000-hectare Williams Brook Gold Project near Bathurst, under an earn-in/option arrangement with Kinross Gold Corp., which is funding drilling: a Winter 2026 program (~12 holes, 2,300+ m) targeted the Jaguar and Lion Gold Zones, returning 0.45 g/t Au over 56.50 m (incl. 1.03 g/t Au over 16.0 m) at Jaguar and 16 g/t Au over 0.50 m in the first-ever drilling at Lion; a Summer 2026 field program (mapping, prospecting, soil sampling, IP surveys) followed. The company also holds the McKenzie Gold Project. It previously held the Turgeon Cu-Zn VMS project in New Brunswick, sold to Raptor Resources Ltd. in a 2024 transaction alongside Canadian Copper Inc. No resource estimate has yet been published for Williams Brook.
Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.
