“Our compilation work continues to rapidly identify highly prospective areas with strong potential for lithium-bearing pegmatites. Very few companies are actively advancing aggressive, hard-rock grassroots projects in the lithium space and I am very excited to expand into this region of Quebec, which benefits from good supportive infrastructure. Combined with our previously announced portfolio in the Maritimes alongside the newly expanded projects in Quebec, Brunswick Exploration is now well positioned to launch one of the largest grassroots lithium exploration programs in Canada.”
Mr. Killian Charles, President of BRW
The net proceeds from the Offerings will be used for the exploration of the newly acquired lithium projects in Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, as well as general corporate purposes.
The Offerings are available to accredited investors and existing shareholders of the Corporation, subject to certain limitations outlined below, to ensure all shareholders may have the opportunity to participate.
The Offerings are expected to close on or about May 11, 2022 or such other date as the Corporation may determine. The Offerings are conditional upon receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities to be issued under the Offerings will have a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the Offerings, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
North Shore Lithium Project Overview
Brunswick Exploration has identified approximately 30 pegmatite dykes and sills on its North Shore Lithium Project that have minimum strike length of 1,200 metres, as well as dozens of smaller pegmatite dykes. The longest pegmatite identified through satellite imagery and geological compilation measures approximately 14 kilometres in strike length. None of the pegmatites on the North Shore Lithium Project have seen exploration for lithium and all consist of S-type pegmatites containing any combination of indicator minerals, including muscovite, garnet, tourmaline and beryl. Lithium-bearing LCT pegmatites are metal enriched S-type pegmatites that may also contain cesium, tantalum, beryllium and tin mineralization. Brunswick Exploration will begin a prospecting campaign in this area in late Q3 2022, first focusing its efforts on the previously-disclosed Pontiac Lithium Project.
