Brunswick Exploration Begins Drilling and Stripping Programs on the Hearst Project, Ontario
April 24 2023 - 6:00AM
Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW;
“
BRW” or the “
Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has begun a drilling and stripping
program at the Hearst Project, located 25 minutes south of Hearst,
Ontario. The drilling and stripping programs will test the
spodumene-bearing Decoy pegmatite as well as the newly discovered
Mantis and Firefly pegmatites.
Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW,
commented: “Building on our momentum from the recent Anatacau West
drill program, we look forward to the maiden results from the
Decoy, Firefly and Mantis pegmatites. The region has historically
seen minimal exploration and none of the pegmatites have been
drilled for lithium. Concurrent to the planned drilling, we will
also begin a major grassroot initiative to identify new pegmatites
over an approximately eight-kilometre trend of prospective ground.
We are thrilled to officially launch this new exploration program
in Ontario and look forward to our next planned drill program at
the Hanson Lake Project in Saskatchewan this summer.”
2023 Hearst Drill Program
An initial 1,000-metre diamond drill program
will test the strike extent and depth extension of the spodumene
bearing Decoy pegmatite as well as the newly discovered Mantis and
Firefly pegmatites. All three of these evolved pegmatites outcrop
at surface allowing for efficient and cost-effective drilling near
supportive infrastructure. Firefly and Mantis are evolved
pegmatites having similar mineralogy and pXRF signatures as the
spodumene-bearing Decoy pegmatite, although the former do not
presently expose lithium-bearing zones.
The program will start at the Decoy pegmatite. A
minimum of 4 holes are planned to test the width and eastern
extent of the spodumene-bearing zone. Currently, Decoy is exposed
over a strike length of approximately 65 meters, reaching a maximum
width in excess of 20 meters at surface. Decimetric, pale green
spodumene crystals are identifiable over at least 45 meters of
strike length.
The Firefly and Mantis pegmatites were
discovered in the fall of 2022 and are located roughly two
kilometers southwest of Decoy. These pegmatites are exposed at
surface in four separate outcrops and measure up to 95 metres by 26
metres in area and are open in all directions. A stripping program
will determine the strike direction and width of the newly
discovered pegmatites and hopefully exposed spodumene-bearing
zones. The geological information gathered from the proposed
stripping program at Firefly and Mantis will allow BRW to rapidly
plan drilling at these two targets, if warranted.
Prospecting on the broader Hearst Project will
also begin once the snow melts in May. The most prospective area in
the Hearst Project is actively being logged by forestry companies
and new roads and outcrop exposure will be greatly beneficial to
BRW. More forestry logging is planned for 2023 and BRW will
continue to prospect as new outcrops are uncovered. It is important
to note that the planned roads and forestry operations are expected
to follow the trend of evolved pegmatites that were found up to 8
kilometers south-west from the Decoy pegmatite.
