With a winter drilling program complete, Brunswick Exploration (TSX-V:BRW) says there is potential to expand all of the mineralised pegmatite dykes at its Mirage Project in the James Bay region of Québec, Canada.
Brunswick Exploration completed drilling at Mirage, which the company says confirmed the nature of the MR-6 dyke.
Brunswick reports new intervals at MR-6 in drillhole MR-24-61, measuring 1.64% lithium oxide over 69.3m, and in drillhole MR-24-50, which returned 17% lithium oxide over 28.3m.
Further, there is potential to extend dyke MR-6 350m to the west, where it remains open towards the MR-3 dyke. MR-3 demonstrates apparent thickness up to 50.6m at 1.06% lithium oxide in core.
Brunswick Exploration adds that the new dyke MR-9, which lies 600m northeast of MR-6, was extended. This new dyke has been drill traced for over 400m with an apparent steep dip to the south.
Importantly, the latest drilling returned improved mineralised intersections, including drillhole MR-24-45 with 1.07% lithium oxide over 14.4m and drillhole MR-24-51 with 2% lithium oxide over 4m.
CEO Killian Charles says the dyke remains open in several directions and will be the focus of a future drilling program to better define its extent.
“After two small drill campaigns and approximately 12,000m drilled, we have already identified over 9 major dykes, all near-surface within an initial 2.5km-by-2.5km area,” he says.
“There exists significant potential to expand all of these dykes both along strike and down-dip. Our work also highlighted several new pegmatite discoveries that were previously unknown and which only have a single intercept, indicating strong opportunities for continued exploration success beyond the nine major dykes.”
Brunswick Exploration plans to announce its 2024 summer exploration program in the coming weeks, including an exploration campaign for Mirage, northern Québec, Labrador, and Greenland.
Brunswick Exploration is a Montreal-based mineral explorer focused on lithium discoveries in Canada.
