Puma Exploration Inc. has completed six high-resolution drone magnetic survey grids totaling 2,799.9 line-kilometres across its McKenzie Gold, Jacquet River, and Caribou East projects in northern New Brunswick.

Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd. carried out the fieldwork between June 23 and July 15, 2026. Final error and noise levels met Geological Survey of Canada guidelines, yielding consistent datasets designed for regional geological compilation.

The surveys covered three grids spanning 1,228.19 line-kilometres at McKenzie Gold, a single 986.46 line-kilometre grid at Jacquet River, and two grids totaling 585.24 line-kilometres at Caribou East. Puma is integrating the magnetic results with its database to identify potential continuities along gold corridors and refine targets ahead of upcoming field programs.

Puma plans additional drilling activities on summer discoveries at the McKenzie Gold Project, scheduled from September to December 2026.

“The strength of drone magnetic surveys lies not only in their sensitivity but also in the speed and efficiency with which data can be collected across vast areas. With the advancement of drone technology, high-resolution magnetic surveys provide valuable insights into subsurface geology, allowing exploration teams to make more informed decisions before investing in costly drilling programs, making magnetic surveys indispensable from early-stage reconnaissance to eventually trenching and drilling operations”

— Marcel Robillard, CEO of Puma Exploration
