Brunswick Exploration Intercepts 26.5 Meters Grading 1.51% LI2O IN Initial Drill Results from Anatacau WEST
BRUNSWICK EXPLORATION INTERCEPTS 26.5 METERS GRADING 1.51% LI2O
IN INITIAL DRILL RESULTS FROM ANATACAU WEST
Montreal, May 24, 2023 – Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW, OTCQB: BRWXF; “BRW” or
the “Company”) is pleased t o 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
o 26.5 metres at 1.51% Li2O in drill hole AW-23-01;
o 9.9 metres at 1.03% Li2O in drill hole AW-23-10;
o 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 ex panding 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 lepidolit e. Spodumene
crystals are generally well -formed, decimetric in scale (up to 10cm) and have a white to pale grey
color. Importantly, grade is strongly correlated with visually identified spodumene percentage in core
allowing BRW to rapidly ascertain the lithium potential of mineralized intercepts in exploration drilling.
Next Steps
Starting next week, our exploration campaign in Quebec will begin with regional, helicopter-supported
prospecting at the Anatacau West and Anatacau Main projects from the nearby Wabamisk camp.
Already, BRW has identified more spodumene-bearing pegmatites at Anatacau Main, located 22 km
east from Anatacau West. These pegmatites have been minimally prospected and will be a priority
target. BRW expects to conduct follow -up on stripping and/or drilling on several targets across both
projects once it has completed an initial wave of prospecting.
Concurrent to work at Anatacau West and Anatacau Main, BRW will also be operating a camp at the
PLEX project to the north and a smaller fly-camp at the Mirage project located further east from PLEX.
The Company’s portfolio in the entire Eeyou Istchee-James Bay region includes over 250 untested S-
type pegmatites measuring a minimum strike length of 500 meters (for more information on the BRW’s
regional prospecting plan for the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay region, see NR dated May 11 2023).

Further analysis revealed that mineralization in AW -23-03 was composed of cookeite, a phyllosilicate lithium
mineral and not spodumene.
