[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, May 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW, OTCQB: BRWXF; “BRW” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a first set of results from its recently completed drilling campaign at the Anatacau West project, located in the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay region of Quebec. The initial results presented today are from twelve holes with another six pending. Final assays for the remaining holes are expected in the coming weeks. Drill result highlights 26.5 metres at 1.51% Li2O in drill hole AW-23-01; 9.9 metres at 1.03% Li2O in drill hole AW-23-10; 10.1 metres at 1.06% Li2O, including 4.9 m at 1.63% Li2O and 12.6 metres at 1.12% Li2O in drill hole AW-23-14. Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: “With the start of our pan-Canadian grassroot lithium exploration campaign, one of the largest lithium exploration initiatives in North America, we are excited to receive assays confirming the presence of high-grade, near-surface and thick lithium-bearing pegmatites from our inaugural drilling campaign at Anatacau West. Our drilling tested the pegmatites to a shallow depth and their remains substantial opportunities for more growth. With minimal regional prospecting for lithium, we look forward to continue expanding the lithium potential both at the Anatacau West and the Anatacau Main project over the coming weeks and months.” Anatacau West Drilling Campaign Overview Following drilling completed to date, BRW believes it has intercepted at least two continuous, distinct spodumene-bearing pegmatites. All of the pegmatites are oriented north-northeast, are closely spaced in an on-echelon pattern and dip steeply towards the west. The pegmatites are hosted in metasedimentary rocks in an east-west deformation corridor similar to Allkem’s neighboring James Bay Lithium Deposit. Drilling has initially focused on near surface mineralization with the pegmatites only being drill tested to a maximum vertical depth of 137 meters. They remain open at depth. Furthermore, potential exists for repetition of new pegmatites further to the south and to the east. Lithium mineralization consists predominantly of spodumene with minor lepidolite. Spodumene crystals are generally well-formed, decimetric in scale (up to 10cm) and have a white to pale grey color. Importantly, grade is strongly correlat...
