Purchase Agreement
The company made a decision to sell the Company's Minority Interest, in our Option/Joint Venture, with Votorantim Metals
Canada Inc., on our Murray Brook Polymetallic Project: See Press Release May 4, 2017
By mutual agreement on May 4, 2017, El Nino Ventures Inc. and Puma Exploration Inc. have agreed to modify the original
closing terms of their asset purchase agreement. Thus, the initial payment has been modified to a cash payment of $300,000,
which has already been delivered to El Nino, and the issuance of five million Puma shares at the deemed value of seven cents.
The second payment of $400,000, is postponed to April 30, 2018, and has been increased to $500,000, and will be added to the
existing third payment of $1-million which is due for April 30, 2018, for a total amount of $1.5-million (total 3million dollars).
However, in the event that Puma raises $1-million during the first six months from the signing of the modified asset purchase
agreement (up to Oct. 30, 2017), then the amount and the schedule of second payment will remain unchanged, and Puma will
pay $400,000 on or before Oct. 30, 2017.
El Nino will receive a laddered Net Smelter Return on Production (NSR), starting at 0.25%, at a Zinc price of US$1.04/lb. and
increasing, in increments of 0.25%, to a maximum of 1.75% above US$1.50/lb. Zn, in relation to 32% of the production from
the Murray Brook Property, which includes the Mining Lease and the Camel Back Claims, for the life of the Murray Brook
Deposit and any new discovery made on the total project.

Zinc Market Fundamentals

5
• Zinc prices have risen >40% in2016 and >60% from recent low
• Best performing base metal in2016
• Price rise driven by falling globalmine production and risingindustry consumption
• Reduced inventories will lead todeficits in zinc metal andconcentrate supplies
Murray Brook Zn-Pb-Cu (Ag) Project
• Amenable to open-pit mining
• Road accessible; power, smelter, labour force nearby

• Murray Brook’s base metal, massive Sulphide deposit, is located in the proven Bathurst Mining Camp
• Murray Brook Measured & Indicated Resources = 19 Mt @ 3.8% Zn+Pb+Cu
• Favourable metallurgy
• Positive Preliminary Economic Assessment
• Strong established infrastructure

• Historically one of Canada’s most productive base metal mining camps
• In 2001, produced 30% of Canada`s Zinc, 53% of its Lead and 17% of its Silver
• Most production from Brunswick #12 Mine (closed 2013)
• Caribou Mine re-opened mid-2015 (Trevali) and achieved commercial production mid-2016
• Halfmile deposit under development (Trevali)
• Belledune Smelter (Glencore) to remain open until at least 2017
• Roads, power, railways, and skilled labour force in place

Murray Brook In-Pit Mineral Resource Estimate at C$21/T NSR Cut-Off: Effective Date June 4, 2013
Mineral Resource Estimate based on 3-year trailing averagemetal prices as of Jan. 31, 2013:
• Copper $US/lb $3.68• Lead $US/lb $1.00• Zinc US$/lb $0.95• Gold US$/oz $1500• Silver US$/oz $29• Exchange Rate ($US/$C) 1.00
• Sensitivity analyses indicate that Murray Brook Project performance most sensitive to metal price
• Improved metal recoveries and exploration upside also important
(1) Mineral Resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting,legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.(2) The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define these Inferred Resources as anIndicated or Measured Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in upgrading them to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource category.(3) The Mineral Resources in this report were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitionsand Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by the CIM Council.

Preliminary Economic Assessment – June 2013*
* This PEA is preliminary in nature and its mineable tonnage includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized. Mineral Resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

• Over 220 years of combined technical, financial and admin experience.
• Low returns on other investments and fears about the stability of the world
economy have caused the gold price to soar
• Few new discoveries are in development due to lack of exploration
• Majority of global supply is deep and expensive to mine
