Brunswick Exploration Inc. (“
BRW”
or the “
Company”) is pleased to announce that is
has signed option and purchase agreements from a private company
and prospectors to acquire a 100% interest in the Lac Édouard
Nickel Project (“
Lac Édouard” or the
“
Property”), located 40 km northeast of the town
of La Tuque, Quebec, and 125 km northwest of Quebec City. Access to
the site is by paved road and includes a significant nickel-copper
mineralized mafic-ultramafic body that was last drilled in 1971 and
which offers excellent exploration potential.
Mr. Killian Charles, President of BRW,
commented: “We are very excited to announce this new greenfield
nickel-copper project for the Company, especially in light of
rising nickel and copper prices and projected high demand for
nickel in a decarbonizing economy. The Lac Édouard system has not
seen drilling since 1971, contains high-grade nickel sulfide
mineralization, and fits very nicely with a Voisey’s Bay deposit
model. Importantly, the feeder to the mineralized system has never
been identified, and the system is open down-dip to the north and
to the east. Furthermore, the historical mineralization was never
assayed for platinum, palladium or cobalt. Potential extensions and
feeders will be drill-tested as soon as permits can be obtained
within the next 2 to 3 months."
Lac Édouard Property
Overview
The total Property package comprises 33 claims
with a total surface area of 1838.5 hectares (18.4 square
kilometres), is paved-road accessible and located within the
Portneuf geological domain (Grenville Geological Province).
Near-surface nickel mineralization was discovered in 1966 and the
Property was drilled between 1967 and 1971 (total of 54 shallow
holes), defining a small nickel deposit, which was further
investigated with a small open pit extraction in 1972-1973. All
drill holes were shallow (maximum vertical depth of 150 metres),
and the best historical drill intersections (MERQ assessment files)
include:

Exploration Targets
Historical records indicate no assays were done
for cobalt nor platinum-palladium, and that all drilling was
limited to a small area measuring 330 x 300 metres.
-
3D geological modelling indicates the main intrusive system is open
to the north (down-dip), open to the east, and a 2007 airborne
geophysical survey indicates the presence of EM conductors
stretching to the east from the known mineralized body.
-
Quebec government stream geochemical surveys indicate anomalies of
up to 400 ppm Ni in sediments, located 1,100 metres north of the
deposit. In addition, other ultramafic intrusive bodies on the
Property have never been drilled.
The Property is considered highly prospective as
the host layered intrusions include websterite, minor harzburgite
and norite, as well as high-tenor mineralization (3-4% Ni in 100%
sulfides). A Voisey’s Bay type metallogenic model applies well to
this property, in that late-tectonic fertile mafic-ultramafic
bodies intrude older sulfide-bearing gneiss/migmatite terranes and
have presumably been fed by deeper mineralized magma conduits
(chonoliths).
Option and Purchase Terms (All dollar figures
in Canadian dollars)
Brunswick optioned 25 claims representing
1,374.5 hectares from Les Ressources Tectonic Inc. The option
allows BRW to acquire a 100% interest in the Property over a
three-year period for a total cash consideration of $170,000 and
exploration expenditures of $500,000 under the following terms:
-
Upon closing of the formal agreement, Brunswick Exploration will
pay $15,000 dollars;
-
Upon the first-year anniversary of the closing, Brunswick
Exploration will pay $45,000 and will have completed $100,000 in
exploration;
-
Upon the second-year anniversary of the closing, Brunswick
Exploration will pay $50,000 and will have completed and additional
$150,000 in exploration;
-
Upon the third-year anniversary of the closing, Brunswick
Exploration will pay $60,000 and will have completed and additional
$250,000 in exploration;
The schedule can be accelerated at BRW’s
discretion. BRW has also granted a two percent (2%) NSR on the
claims covered by the option agreement. The first half (1%) of the
NSR may be repurchased upon payment of $1,500,000 from BRW to the
optionor. BRW retains a first right of purchase of the second half
of the NSR.
Additionally, the Company has purchased a 100%
interest in 8 peripheral claims (464 hectares) to the optioned
property from local prospectors for a cash consideration of
$14,400. BRW has also granted a two percent (2%) NSR on the
purchased claim. The first half (1%) of the NSR may be repurchased
upon payment of $1,000,000 from BRW to the vendors. The second half
may be purchased for $2,000,000. If BRW elects to complete both
payments, it will have repurchased the entirety of the royalty on
the eight purchased claims.
