12:21 PM EDT, 07/23/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Brunswick Exploration ( BRWXF ) Tuesday said it launched a 5,000-meter summer drill program at its Mirage lithium Project in Quebec's Eeyou Istchee-James Bay region.

The company said the program will follow up on a prior 71 drill holes and more than 12,000 meters of exploration drilling at the site which delineated nine near-surface spodumene-bearing pegmatite dykes, all of which remain open at depth and along strike.

Approximately two dozen additional dykes, with widths ranging from 8 meters to approximately 20 meters, have also been intercepted in the two previous campaigns with minimal to no follow-up work. The proposed program will focus on MR-6, MR-3 and MR-4 as well as new targets that were delineated using drilling, geophysics, till mineralogy and prospecting.

"With a shortened 2023 exploration campaign due to forest fires, we were eager to complete our ground exploration work at Mirage. The program was highly successful and outlined four new high priority areas of interest within the trend of mineralization at Mirage. These targets are hosted along favourable structural environments and will be drill tested during the forthcoming drilling campaign. Alongside the major pegmatitic dykes already outlined, Mirage remains a target-rich project with multiple avenues of exploration growth," chief executive Killian Charles said in a release.

The company's shares were last seen up $0.005 to $0.21 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
