BRWXF - Brunswick Exploration Launches Multinational Exploration Campaign | Benzinga
MONTREAL, June 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brunswick Exploration Inc. ("BRW" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has started a helicopter-supported prospecting campaign in Quebec with additional programs in Labrador and Greenland to begin in July and August 2024, respectively. BRW plans to systematically test hundreds of new and outcropping S-type pegmatite targets across its portfolio.
Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: "While we continue to focus our efforts into the Mirage Project, we are thrilled to start new, ambitious grassroots initiatives throughout Eastern Canada and Greenland. These initiatives are a core pillar of BRW's strategy and, as the lithium industry remains ripe for new discoveries, we will continue to leverage our exploration expertise to rapidly identify new targets and explore in sound jurisdictions."
Overview of Prospecting Programs
Quebec
A regional helicopter supported prospecting and mapping program began at the Mirage project, outside the main area of known mineralization. As the 2023 exploration campaign was severely shortened due to forest fires, significant portions of the project remain underexplored. The Mirage project has a total surface area of 21,230 hectares with a potential mineralized corridor of more than 12 kilometers. Already, new pegmatite outcrops with low K/Rb ratios have been identified within this corridor and on strike with the existing dykes drilled in the two previous drill campaigns.
In preparation for the summer drill campaign to be announced in the coming weeks, BRW has decided to expand its assaying methodology at Mirage. Work completed to date indicates that mineralized pegmatites have a broad lithium alteration halo which stretches several dozen meters into the host rock, rapidly enriching in proximity to lithium mineralization. Any anomalous lithium content in the host rock could be indicative of new, buried pegmatites. As such, ten drill holes, two which have intersected mineralization at the start of the hole (MR-23-27 and MR-23-34) as well as another eight holes which did not intersect pegmatite (holes MR-23-23, 24 and MR-24-37, 42, 63, 68, 70 and 71), have been sent for geochemical analysis (full collar table available on the BRW website) with assays pending.
