Brunswick Exploration (TSX-V:BRW) is targeting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for lithium with a new exploration licence pending final government approval.
The licenced area, totalling 8,467 hectares, is about 150km from Burayday and around 450km east from Riyadh, accessible by major highways with smaller roads throughout the project.
CEO Killian Charles says the company is ready to leverage its “unique lithium exploration expertise” from its recent grassroots campaign in Greenland into Saudi Arabia.
“Importantly, prospecting in Saudi Arabia is preferentially executed during the seasonally colder months in Canada and Greenland, allowing Brunswick to generate prospecting results 12 months of the year,” Charles says.
“The team is currently planning a prospecting campaign which will commence in H1 2026.
“This program, in addition to our forthcoming mineral resource estimate at Mirage, our new discovery neighbouring Rio Tinto’s (ASX:RIO) Galaxy Project and our future work in Greenland, promises an exciting start to the year for Brunswick Exploration.”
The company expects to return a resource estimate for the Mirage Project in Canada in early Q1 2026, while completing inaugural drilling in Greenland in 2026.
As reported by Mining.com.au, the company intercepted multiple zones of lithium mineralisation at the Anatacau Main Project in Québec, Canada earlier this month from an inaugural drill campaign.
One hole returned 1.66% lithium oxide over 47.2m within a larger package of 120.7m @ 1.31% lithium oxide.
Global demand for lithium is expected to drastically increase in the coming years, due to its role in clean electricity generation.
Mining.com.au reports almost every second car sold to be a battery electric vehicle (BEV) in 2030, leading to a demand increase for global batteries of 35%.
Market growth is being driven by both increased BEV sales and increasing battery size per BEV.
Brunswick Exploration is a Montreal-based explorer focused on uncovering lithium in Canada for the global decarbonisation and energy transition.
