The latest update is out from Puma Exploration ( (TSE:PUMA) ).

Puma Exploration has unveiled a fully funded C$1.2 million 2026 exploration program at its McKenzie Gold Project in Northern New Brunswick, aimed at expanding the RIM and Grog gold zones and refining structural models to generate drill-ready targets. Work will progress from core logging, data modelling and target selection in the first half of the year to mechanical trenching, prospecting, expert structural analysis and phased drilling from summer through year-end, with scope to increase the budget if results are strong.

Recent fieldwork has more than doubled the known extent of the high-grade RIM Gold Vein and returned surface grab samples up to 126.96 g/t gold, while new stripping at the Grog area delivered multiple samples above 1 g/t gold, reinforcing the presence of at least two significant gold systems across the 33,800-hectare property. By systematically advancing these zones through drilling in 2026, Puma aims to demonstrate the district-scale potential of McKenzie, which could enhance the company’s exploration pipeline and strategic positioning alongside its nearby Williams Brook project optioned to a major producer.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:PUMA) stock is a Hold with a C$0.18 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Puma Exploration stock, see the TSE:PUMA Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on TSE:PUMA Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, TSE:PUMA is a Neutral.

The score is held back primarily by weak financial performance—no revenue, ongoing losses, and negative free cash flow—tempered by a low-debt balance sheet. Technicals are modestly supportive due to trading above key longer-term moving averages, while valuation signals are weak given the negative P/E and no provided dividend yield.
