Brunswick Exploration (TSX-V:BRW) has commenced drilling at the Anatacau Main Project in Québec, Canada, targeting the Anais lithium 2023 discovery.
The latest program, comprising between 1,000m and 1,500m of drilling, has identified 10 holes, with the first five drillholes collared on the Anais discovery consisting of several parallel pegmatite dykes with visible spodumene mineralisation.
Drilling is partially financed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests of the Québec Government for its initiative, totalling C$293,273 ($325,500) of funding.
CEO Killian Charles says beyond the results in Greenland, the company continues to advance its portfolio of projects in Québec.
“We expect to complete our maiden resource estimate at Mirage in Q4 and, now, have begun an exciting new drill program at Anatacau Main – one of our first Canadian lithium discoveries,” Charles says.
“Our previous work at the neighbouring Anatacau West Project demonstrated that mineralisation is immediately contiguous east of the Galaxy lithium project. Importantly, we believe the Anais showing also possesses the same structural context and similar geological features to the Galaxy lithium project.”
In 2022, Brunswick Exploration signed an option agreement with Osisko Development (TSX-V:ODEV) to acquire a 90% interest in the Anatacau Property located in the James Bay-Eeyou Istchee region.
This discovery – located 22km east of Anatacau West and Arcadium’s (NYSE: ALTM) James Bay Project along a deformation corridor – is host to the known lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes in the region. The structure runs through the Anatacau West and Anatacau Main areas over 15.5 km, all of which has never been explored for lithium.
