Brunswick Exploration Starts Maiden Drilling Program at Anatacau Main
Brunswick Exploration (TSX-V: BRW) has initiated its maiden drilling program at the Anatacau Main Project in Quebec's Eeyou-Istchee James Bay region. The program targets the Anais lithium discovery, situated 22 kilometers east of Rio Tinto's Galaxy project.
The drilling campaign will comprise 10 inclined holes totaling between 1,000 and 1,500 meters, with an average length of 150 meters per hole. The initial five holes will focus on the Anais discovery, which features multiple parallel pegmatite dykes containing visible spodumene mineralization. The largest dyke discovered spans 15 meters wide by 100 meters long.
The project has received partial funding from Quebec's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests, with a maximum contribution of $293,273. Brunswick controls over 30 km of favorable structure in the area, suggesting potential for additional lithium discoveries.
Brunswick Exploration (TSX‑V: BRW) ha avviato il suo primo programma di perforazione presso il progetto Anatacau Main nella regione Eeyou‑Istchee James Bay del Quebec. Le operazioni sono rivolte alla scoperta di litio Anais, ubicata a 22 chilometri a est del progetto Galaxy di Rio Tinto.
La campagna prevede la realizzazione di 10 fori inclinati per un totale compreso tra 1.000 e 1.500 metri, con una lunghezza media di 150 metri per foro. I primi cinque fori saranno concentrati sull'area Anais, caratterizzata da più vene di pegmatite parallele contenenti mineralizzazione visibile di spodumene. La vena più estesa misurata è di 15 metri di larghezza per 100 metri di lunghezza.
Il progetto ha ottenuto un finanziamento parziale dal Ministero delle Risorse Naturali e delle Foreste del Quebec, con un contributo massimo di 293.273 $. Brunswick controlla oltre 30 km di strutture favorevoli nella zona, indicando la possibilità di ulteriori ritrovamenti di litio.

Brunswick Exploration (TSX‑V: BRW)는 퀘벡의 Eeyou‑Istchee James Bay 지역에 위치한 Anatacau Main 프로젝트에서 첫 시추 프로그램을 시작했습니다. 이 프로그램은 리오틴토의 Galaxy 프로젝트에서 동쪽으로 22킬로미터 떨어진 Anais 리튬 발견 지점을 목표로 합니다.
시추 캠페인은 총 10개의 경사공으로 구성되며 전체 길이는 1,000~1,500미터, 구간당 평균 길이는 150미터입니다. 초기 다섯 구멍은 가시적 스포듀멘(spodumene) 광물이 관찰되는 여러 평행 페그마타이트 암맥이 있는 Anais 지점을 중심으로 진행됩니다. 발견된 가장 큰 암맥은 폭 15미터, 길이 100미터입니다.
이 프로젝트는 퀘벡 천연자원산림부로부터 최대 293,273달러의 부분 자금을 지원받았습니다. Brunswick은 해당 지역에서 유리한 구조를 30km 이상 통제하고 있어 추가적인 리튬 발견 가능성이 있습니다.

Brunswick Exploration (TSX‑V: BRW) hat sein erstes Bohrprogramm beim Anatacau Main Project in der Eeyou‑Istchee James Bay‑Region in Quebec gestartet. Ziel ist die Li‑Entdeckung Anais, die 22 Kilometer östlich des Galaxy‑Projekts von Rio Tinto liegt.
Die Bohrkampagne umfasst 10 geneigte Bohrlöcher mit einer Gesamtlänge zwischen 1.000 und 1.500 Metern und einer durchschnittlichen Tiefe von 150 Metern pro Loch. Die ersten fünf Löcher konzentrieren sich auf die Anais‑Entdeckung, die mehrere parallele Pegmatit‑Gänge mit sichtbarer Spodumen‑Mineralisierung aufweist. Der größte gefundene Gang misst 15 Meter Breite bei 100 Meter Länge.
Das Projekt erhielt eine Teilfinanzierung vom Ministerium für natürliche Ressourcen und Wälder von Quebec in Höhe von maximal 293.273 $. Brunswick kontrolliert in der Gegend über 30 km günstige Strukturen, was auf weiteres Potenzial für Lithiumfunde hindeutet.

Insights
Brunswick begins maiden drilling at Anais lithium discovery near Rio Tinto's Galaxy project, targeting spodumene pegmatites with Quebec government support.
Brunswick Exploration has initiated its maiden drilling program at the Anatacau Main Project in Quebec's James Bay region, specifically targeting the Anais lithium discovery. This strategic location sits 22 kilometers east of Rio Tinto's Galaxy project along the same geological structure. The program will comprise 10 inclined holes totaling 1,000-1,500 meters, with the first five holes positioned directly on the Anais discovery made in 2023.
The Anais showing features several parallel pegmatite dykes containing visible spodumene mineralization - the primary ore mineral for lithium. The largest dyke discovered measures 15 meters wide by 100 meters long in outcrop, indicating substantial surface expression. This is particularly significant as the project shares the same east-west deformation corridor that hosts Rio Tinto's Galaxy Lithium project, where lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes occur in extensional settings.
Brunswick controls over 30 kilometers of this favorable geological structure across both Anatacau West and Anatacau Main projects, providing extensive exploration potential. The project benefits from excellent infrastructure, being accessible from the paved Billy Diamond Highway and near the "KM 381" rest stop offering essential services. Importantly, the Quebec Government is providing financial support up to
While this represents early-stage exploration, the visible spodumene identified in surface outcrops, combined with the geological similarities to Rio Tinto's neighboring project, positions this drilling program as a potentially significant catalyst. The company is simultaneously advancing other assets, with a maiden resource estimate at its Mirage project expected in Q4, demonstrating a pipeline of lithium projects at various development stages.
MONTREAL, Sept. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW, OTCQB: BRWXF; FRANKFURT:1XQ; “BRW” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has begun drilling at the Anatacau Main Project, located in the Eeyou-Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. The drill program will target the Anais lithium discovery, located 22 kilometers east and along strike from Rio Tinto’s Galaxy project and BRW’s Anatacau West project.
Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: “Beyond our favorable results in Greenland, we continue to advance our portfolio of assets in Quebec. 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. Our previous work at the neighbouring Anatacau West project demonstrated that mineralization 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.”
Anatacau Main Overview
Brunswick Exploration expects to drill between 1,000 and 1,500 meters comprised of 10 inclined holes at an average length of 150 meters each. The first five drill holes are collared on the Anais discovery made by the BRW team in 2023, which consists of several parallel pegmatite dykes with visible spodumene mineralization. The largest dyke found to date is exposed over a 15 m wide by 100 m long outcrop (see press release dated July 13, 2023).
Figure 1: Anatacau Main Project Location
The Anatacau Main project is straddled by a large-scale E-W deformation corridor, hosting Rio Tinto’s Galaxy Lithium project where mineralization is constrained to multiple extensional lithium-bearing pegmatite dykes (see figure 1). This corridor runs through both the Anatacau West and Anatacau Main projects. Combined, BRW controls over 30 km of favorable structure, with potential for more lithium discoveries with the area immediately surrounding the Anais showing being most prospective.
The drilling will be ground supported and operated from the Company’s neighbouring camp. It is easily accessible from the paved Billy Diamond Highway, located approximately 21 km east of the “KM 381” rest stop that can provide accommodation, catering, fuel and power. This drilling program is partially financed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests of the Quebec Government, up to a maximum amount of
