(0:00:00): Has Brunswick Exploration started drilling yet on any of its lithium projects?
Brunswick Exploration is finally drilling after spending nearly a year assembling a portfolio of Canadian lithium prospects based largely on archival research followed by boots on the ground field inspections that have identified 650 pegmatite bodies the junior plans to test with make or break drilling programs. Drilling is underway on Anatacau West adjoining to the east of the Galaxy/Cyr lithium deposit Allkem is putting into production. In fact, Monday's news release benefits from drilling having started during the past week. An expanded drill program with substantial eastward stepout fences suggests to us that the initial fence of holes 50 m of the border has confirmed the Allkem pegmatites extend onto Brunswick's ground.
The sexy part of Monday's update is about the Plex project, which Virginia Gold called the "Poste Le Moyne Extension". A chopper visited Plex just ahead of PDAC and not only confirmed the location of the core shack, but also that the core boxes are intact and have not been vandalized (ie not dumped and kicked around so that samples cannot be linked to drill hole locations and position within the core). In testing the Orfee gold zone Virginia drilled through pegmatite that was only vaguely logged and not split for assaying. Brunswick does not yet know if these pegmatite intervals, 96 greater than 8 m occurring over a 1,300 m strike encountered while testing the Orfee gold zone, are LCT type, but within two weeks it will have a crew on site to test pegmatite intervals with an XRF gun, and designate those intervals whose pathfinders indicate LCT for sample preparation and assaying. These pegmatites adjoining the gold zones in a coincidental rather than genetic manner may prove to be barren, but, if instead they prove similar to those of another former Virginia claim block called Corvette which currently supports a $2 billion implied project value for Patriot Battery Metals, will launch Brunswick into S-curve territory. If Brunswick announces that it has shipped Plex core samples for assaying, it will then allow drill permitting to begin ahead of July. The realistic plan was to spend the summer putting boots on the ground and perhaps drilling in the fall. Although Hearst drilling in Ontario is expected to begin in April, the market will be focused on Plex if core gets shipped for lithium assays.
