Finally some news to wake up this lifeless stock. My concern is whether they have cash left and how serious a dilution we can expect if the stock price stays low. Still holding all my shares of this one.
Exploration Puma (TSX VENTURE: PUM) has just bought the three private properties covering the site of the former mine facilities at its Nicholas-Denys project in New Brunswick. In fact, the Company has acquired three private lots with a total area of 14.6 hectares which also include the Shaft lens and the northern portion of the Hache lens. With this acquisition Puma becomes the sole owner of the surface rights and will be able to construct the necessary infrastructure to develop the mineralized lenses in the near term and at reduced cost.
In addition, the Company is repairing 2.1 km of the access road to allow heavy trucks to travel from the main Nicholas-Denys road, which connects the Nicholas-Denys property to Highway No. 11. Following this work, the Company moved the drill core to the site so as to concentrate its operations directly on the property during 2009.
In 2008, Exploration Puma drilled 84 holes in the vicinity of the Shaft and Hache lenses, for a total advance of 19,504 metres. These holes led to the discovery of five new lenses containing Ag-Pb-Zn mineralization, including one lens that connects the Shaft and Hache lenses at a vertical depth of 250 metres. The holes also confirmed the surface extension of the Hache lens over more than 200 metres, which represents a doubling of the length of lens used in the resource calculation released in February 2008. It should be noted that the resource calculation was performed before the discovery of these new mineralized lenses.
