Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW, OTCQB:
BRWXF; FRANKFURT:1XQ; “
BRW” or the
“
Company”) is pleased to announce its plans for
the 2025 summer exploration program in Greenland as well as a
mineral license expansion of the Paamiut project.
Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW,
commented: “Following strong metallurgical results and the start of
drilling at the Mirage Project in Quebec, we are delighted to
announce assay results from the Ivisaartoq discovery near Nuuk, the
capital of Greenland. The assays confirm the presence of spodumene
throughout the discovery dyke and demonstrates that it is part of
an evolved trend which will require significant additional work to
fully realize its potential. This highly prospective trend remains
underexplored with dozens of pegmatites yet to be visited.
We are also very pleased and thankful for the
Greenlandic Government’s efforts in locating the original document
that identifies the location of an unconfirmed historical spodumene
showing, first identified in 1972 and wholly located within our
Paamiut Project. In light of this new showing, we have
significantly increased our licenses in the Paamiut region.
Brunswick Exploration is now one of the largest
mineral license holders in Greenland and is the only company
exploring for lithium, leveraging its first mover advantage in the
country. With a strong mining regime alongside prospective geology
and excellent outcrop exposure, we believe 2025 will be a key year
for lithium in Greenland as we launch one of the largest regional
exploration initiatives in the country.”
2025 Greenland Summer
Program
BRW will launch an aggressive regional-scale
prospecting and mapping initiative on its extensive Greenland
portfolio beginning in mid-June, using 4 crews and 2 helicopters
for six weeks. In June, one team will focus on detailed mapping and
sampling around the Ivisaartoq discovery and surrounding areas
while the other will focus on the expanded Nuuk and Paamiut
licenses. Starting in July, one team will focus on follow-up
prosecting at the Nuuk and Paamiut projects based on results from
June while the other team will focus on the recently acquired Disko
Bay and Uummannaq projects (see news release of November 7, 2024).
Results from the first six weeks will be used to plan advanced
exploration programs in August and September 2025, across the
entire portfolio.
Ivisaartoq Discovery
Results
The company has received grab sample assays from
its discovery dyke producing up to 2.40 % Li2O (Figure 1). The
lithium-bearing dyke is within an evolved trend measuring roughly 3
kilometers by 1.5 kilometers and remains open in all directions
with low Mg/Li and K/Rb ratios. To reiterate, the 2024 first pass
prospecting focused on rapidly producing portable XRF K/Rb analysis
on potassium feldspar crystals while the 2025 second pass will
focus on detailed mapping and further sampling in the anomalous
area. As these pegmatites are kilometric in scale, they will
require systematic sampling and detailed mapping.
For whole rock analysis, the Mg/Li ratio is much
more indicative of a favorable Li bearing outcrop or trend than
field-generated feldspar K/Rb ratios. Mg/Li ratios in whole rock
samples of <10 indicates an evolved pegmatite and <1
indicates the potential to be spodumene bearing with the latest
assays outlining over 20 samples with ratios below 1. In addition,
hundreds of interpreted and mapped pegmatite outcrops in the
Ivisaartoq belt were not visited during the limited 2024 field
season.

Historical Paamiut Lithium Reference
Uncovered
As referenced in the press release dated October
30th, 2024, a 10-kilometer greenstone belt hosted an unconfirmed
and geographically uncertain historical database spodumene showing
with a reported assay of 1.23% Li2O from the early 1970s. After
numerous discussions with the Geological Survey of Denmark and
Greenland (GEUS), an accurate location for the showing was
ascertained to be roughly 4 kilometers from the previous incorrect
location in the database. The area contains several dozen
pegmatites which have been never been prospected. During the 2024
first pass, the Company sampled an evolved pegmatite (based on
K/Rb) roughly 1 kilometer from the revised location of the
historical lithium assay (Figure 2). The company is eager to visit
this area in 2025 and has expanded its Paamiut land holdings
accordingly.

Paamiut Staking
The new licenses are located roughly 90 to 130
km from the coastal town of Paamiut, which is approximately 260 km
south of the capital Nuuk (Figure 3). Paamiut is home to roughly
1,300 people. The new license area lies within the North Atlantic
Craton specifically within the Bjornesund tectonic block. This
block is composed of tonalitic and granodioritic orthogneiss as
well as favourable Mesoarchean metavolcanic amphibolite belts. The
North Atlantic Craton extends westwards into northern Labrador,
Canada and eastwards into eastern Greenland.
Multiple metavolcanic amphibolite belts were
acquired that are up to roughly 1.5 kilometers in width and 15
kilometers in strike length. The new claims have numerous mapped
and interpreted pegmatite targets including nine that are between
500 and 900 meters in strike length for a total new license area of
20,785 hectares. Licences applications have been submitted and are
awaiting government final approval.
