PAU Retains MMJ Consultant

PAPUAN PRECIOUS METALS CORP. (TSX VENTURE:PAU)(OTCQX:PAUFF) (the "Company") is
pleased to announce it has entered into a consultancy agreement with Mr. Drew
Milburn, an acknowledged expert in the Medical Marijuana sector.


Mr. Milburn has acted as an advisor to numerous State and local authorities in
the U.S., as well as Health Canada, which runs the National Program for Medical
Marijuana in Canada. He has a strong background in the manufacturing and
distribution sector, which in turn has led to the successful ownership and
operation of multiple Medical Marijuana Dispensaries in California, Colorado,
and Arizona.


As an expert in the field of retail and gardening operations for Medical
Marijuana, Mr. Milburn has been invited to speak at industry venues throughout
North America. He also proudly served twelve years as a United States Marine and
was decorated many times for achievement above and beyond the call of duty.


Mr. Milburn will be advising the Company on potential projects within the
Medical Marijuana sector.


The Company to date has not entered into any agreements in respect to the
business opportunities in the legalized marijuana industry in Canada or in the
United States, and cautions that there is no assurance the Company will acquire
interests or enter into agreements in respect of this emerging industry.


If the Company enters into a contract in the Medical Marijuana business, it
plans to execute a plan of arrangement to monetize each set of mining and
non-mining assets.


ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD

Dev Randhawa, Chairman and CEO

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term
