PUF Ventures Commences Winter Work Program on Quebec Lithium Property and Provides Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, Nov. 16, 2016 /CNW/ - PUF Ventures Inc. (the "Company") (CSE: PUF) (Frankfurt: PU3) (OTCPK: PUFXF) is pleased to announce that it has initiated plans for a first phase work program (the "Program") on its wholly owned Lac Saint Simon lithium property (the "Property") which is situated approximately 2 kilometers north from the boundary of Nemaska Lithium's world class Whabouchi Spodumene Project ("Whabouchi").  The Company will fund the Program using the proceeds raised from the flow-through financing that closed on November 4, 2016.  At this time, the Company has commenced geological data compilation, creation of a GIS database for the region as well as generating maps to aid in planning upcoming field-work.

The proposed field-work will focus on a ground based geophysical survey of the Property and will begin once the lake is frozen.  The Program will consist of a total magnetic field survey and a very low frequency – electromagnetic reading with approximately 100 metre spacing along a base line.  The Company plans to have this data analyzed and interpreted by a geophysicist.  The Company anticipates that this Program will constitute the bulk of the data required for a new technical report on the Property.  

Derek Ivany, President and CEO of the Company stated, "This is a very exciting time for PUF's shareholders.  We continue to make steady advancement with our MMPR application and are especially pleased with the escalation of the progress in the last few months.  While we await further updates from Health Canada, we are eager to commence exploration and are optimistic about the development of the Property as it represents an opportunity to add value to our shareholders whilst diversifying the risk profile of our assets.  In due course, if warranted by the results of the exploration program, we plan on assessing value enhancing transactions relating to the Property such as partnership, joint venture, or sale to a new entity."

Corporate Development Initiatives:

With the recent November 8, 2016 passing of a "Yes" vote in the State of Nevada for the legalization of recreational marijuana for individuals 21 and over, and the passing of Proposition 64 in the State of California also relating to legalization of recreational marijuana, the Company has begun assessing various business opportunities in these and other states that have legalized adult medical and recreational marijuana use.

"The tremendous scale and vast market opportunity in the United States that is represented by legal cannabis use is exciting," stated Mr. Ivany.  "As a company, we are confident that we can utilize the skill sets of our team and directors to capitalize on this opportunity.  As such, we have initiated a M&A strategy whereby we will be conducting due diligence on a variety of opportunities in short order."
