Field Work Commences at Brigadier's Nemaska2 Lithium Project, James Bay, Quebec

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 1, 2023 / Brigadier Gold Limited (the "Company") (TSXV:BRG)(FSE:B7LM)(OTC PINK:BGADF) is pleased to announce that Phase-1 exploration has commenced at its recently expanded Nemaska2 Lithium Property ("Nemaska2"), James Bay, Quebec. The focus of the program is to confirm and further delineate pegmatite outcrops mapped and sampled in historical government work programs that will lead into a mid-summer drill program.

The Phase-1 program at Nemaska2 is being carried out by the Company's technical partner Géologica Groupe-Conseil ("Géologica") of Val D'or Quebec.

Spring 2023 Exploration Program

Exploration at Nemaska2 will feature a particular focus on the ~20 white pegmatite outcrops, each approximately 1,000 square metres in size. Particular attention will be applied to discover the possible existence of additional pegmatite dykes or other favorable structures. The Company anticipates this initial program will delineate targets for a mid-summer inaugural drill program.

"We are excited to initiate our Phase-1 of work on the Nemaska2 Property", stated Robert Birmingham, President, and CEO of Brigadier Gold. "This crucial first step of exploration alongside our technical partner Géologica, will help aid us in advancing the property to reaching our objective of launching a drill campaign this season."

Nemaska2 may be one of the most conveniently located properties in the region for access, logistics and infrastructure, which will allow Brigadier to conduct its exploration programs and publish results in an efficient and timely manner.

With the recently closed private placement the Company is fully funded to carryout Phase-1 exploration at Nemaska2.

Historical Exploration

The Quebec government has previously carried out a large sampling program and also an airborne magnetometric survey over Nemaska2 which shows the presence of several low magnetic anomalies likely corresponding with fractures or shear zones within the granitic Valiquette Pluton. These structures are generally favourable to the formation of pegmatites and other metals. The presence of pegmatites recognized during the regional reconnaissance mapping, anomalous values of Li and Cs in regional till sampling, and the presence of a major lithium deposit (Whabouchi Deposit) in the area, are all elements favourable to the existence of mineralization sought by the Company.

Nemaska2 Expansion

On March 20, 2023, the Company entered into a property option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with a private British Columbia corporation (the "Optionor"), to acquire a 100% undivided interest in one hundred and five (105) mining claims, covering approximately 5,300 hectares, located in the Nemaska area of Quebec, approximately 160 kilometres west of James Bay, Quebec (the "Nemaska2 Extension") (see press release dated March 22, 2023).

The Nemaska2 Extension is a continuous extension of the Company's existing Nemaska2 lithium project (see March 17, 2023 Press Release for details) bringing the total land package to 8,300 hectares. The Nemaska2 Extension covers several geological areas, containing Archean pink granite and pegmatite as well several outcrops with similar geology as Pontax Lithium showing with the Formation d'Anatacau-Pivert 1 amphibolitized basalt and amphibolite. The Pontax Lithium showing is located 40km to the west. There are several lithium metal lake bottom sediment anomalies combined with other anomalous critical elements. The geochemical signature is comparable to that observed at Pivert-Rose and Pontax-Lithium, with higher values in the secondary environment.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, in order to acquire a 100% interest in and to the Nemaska2 Extension, subject to a 2% NSR and Bonus in favor of the Optionor, the Vendor must pay an aggregate of $250,000, including a cash payment of $10,000 within fourteen days of the effective date of the Option Agreement (paid); a cash payment of $40,000 within ninety days of the effective date of the Option Agreement; and cash payments of $100,000 or at the Company's discretion, issuance to the Optionor of shares in the Company with a then equivalent value of $100,000, on each of the first, and second anniversaries of the Effective Date of the Option Agreement. Under the terms of the Option Agreement, the Optionor will receive a one-time payment in the amount of $1 million, in cash or shares of the Company, in the event a report compliant with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") establishes mineral resources valued over $100,000,000 with respect to the Nemaska2 Extension (the "Bonus").
