Brunswick Exploration Outlines New Spodumene Rich Boulder Trains at Mirage and Launches Summer Drill Campaign
23 July 2024 - 9:00PM
Brunswick Exploration Inc. (“
BRW”
or the “
Company”) is pleased to announce the
completion of the 2024 prospecting program and start of a
5,000-metre summer drill program at the Mirage Project, located in
the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay region of Quebec. To date, 71 drill
holes and more than12,000 meters have been drilled on the Mirage
project which have delineated nine near-surface spodumene-bearing
pegmatite dykes, all of which remain open at depth and along
strike. Approximately two dozen additional dykes, with widths
ranging from 8 metres to approximately 20 metres, have also been
intercepted in the two previous campaigns with minimal to no
follow-up work. The proposed program will focus on MR-6, MR-3 and
MR-4 as well as new targets that were delineated using drilling,
geophysics, till mineralogy and prospecting.
Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW,
commented: “With a shortened 2023 exploration campaign due to
forest fires, we were eager to complete our ground exploration work
at Mirage. The program was highly successful and outlined four new
high priority areas of interest within the trend of mineralization
at Mirage. These targets are hosted along favorable structural
environments and will be drill tested during the forthcoming
drilling campaign. Alongside the major pegmatitic dykes already
outlined, Mirage remains a target-rich project with multiple
avenues of exploration growth.”
Overview of Prospecting Program at
Mirage
Prospecting and detailed mapping were carried
out by the BRW exploration team in June (Figure 1). This effort was
supplemented by a till survey performed in the spodumene-bearing
boulder train and in its vicinity to better delineate potential
sources and drilling targets. Some samples returned coarse
spodumene crystals in till (Figure 2). Interestingly, some samples
outside of the main boulder trend also returned significant
spodumene grain count, indicating the potential for new sources.
The till survey will be expanded to the entire project in the fall
to continue expanding the trend of mineralization at Mirage.
The prospecting campaign also outlined numerous
new spodumene-bearing boulders. Significantly, these boulders were
found to the W and SW of the main spodumene boulder train
previously identified in 2023. The size (up to 200 cubic meters)
and angularity of the boulders (Figure 3 and Figure 4) indicate
their sources lie close-by, likely outside of the known
mineralization in the Central and South zone. Combined with the
till surveys and geophysics completed to date, BRW strongly
believes significant mineralization remains to be found at
Mirage.

QAQC
Tills were collected by BRW staff. The 10 kg
samples were sieved directly on site to two different size
fractions: 8mm and 2mm. Pegmatite clasts were counted in the 8 mm
fraction and the presence of spodumene mineralization was confirmed
through UV light.
