Brunswick Exploration Begins Drilling at Anatacau West and Kicks off 2023 Exploration Campaign

MONTREAL, March 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW; “BRW” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has begun drilling at the Anatacau West project, located in the Eeyou-Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. A 3,000-metre drill program is targeting the potential eastern extension of Allkem’s James Bay lithium deposit in an area that has yet to be drill-tested. The Company is also planning to sample and analyze historical pegmatite-bearing core at the PLEX project prior to the end of the month followed by the start of another drill program at the Hearst Project located in eastern Ontario in early Q2.

Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: “This will be a transformational year for BRW as we commence multiple drilling and stripping programs across Canada, while conducting aggressive grassroots lithium prospecting in tandem. We are very excited to begin our exploration efforts in 2023 with a drilling campaign targeting the exciting Anatacau West project. The 2023 exploration campaign is one of the largest grassroots lithium programs in North America and I invite existing and potential shareholders to closely follow upcoming news releases.”

Quebec – Anatacau West Drilling

The initial 3,000 metre program at Anatacau West comprises 15 inclined holes at an average length of 200 metres each. The program will be extended as required if warranted. The first five drill holes are collared along a N-S fence approximately 50 meters from the shared claim boundary with Allkem’s James Bay lithium deposit. Second and third fences of holes are planned 150 and 300 meters, respectively, to the east of the first fence.

The drill holes are targeting the potential continuation of spodumene-bearing pegmatites from Allkem’s claims. The James Bay Lithium Project is host to a 40 million tonnes reserve grading 1.4%* and is comprised of eight pegmatites of varying width and grade. In 2018, a set of three holes drilled by Allkem (Galaxy Lithium) intersected numerous spodumene-bearing pegmatites with downhole widths varying between roughly 5 and 15 meters outside of the reserve pit shell and adjacent to the shared claim boundary. No holes have been drilled east of these intersections on BRW’s Anatacau West Project.
