Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW, OTCQB: BRWXF; " BRW " or the " Company ") is pleased to report a further six drill results from the Winter 2025 program at its Mirage Project. The Mirage Project is located in the Eeyou Istchee-James Bay region of Quebec, approximately 40 kilometres south of the Trans-Taïga Road. This press release focuses primarily on drilling completed north and east of the MR-6 dyke and, in the neighboring, "Stacked Dyke" area, where BRW continues to intersect dozens of well-mineralized spodumene-bearing pegmatites.
Highlights include:
- A newly discovered dyke located approximately 250 metres northeast of MR-6, which returned 29.25 metres at 1.19% Li ₂ O in hole MR-25-115 and it remains open in all directions.
- The "Stacked Dyke" area has been extended 150 m to the northeast, with hole MR-25-106 intercepting 1.01% Li ₂ O over 17.4 metres . The area continues to show significant potential and widespread mineralization over the entire length of the drill holes.
Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: "Every drill campaign has underscored the potential of the Mirage project. As we begin to step out from the core area of interest, we continue to intersect new, significant, well-mineralized pegmatites, all located near surface and this release is no different. We have again extended both the footprint of the Stacked Dyke area and found new sub-parallel mineralization adjacent to MR-6. We believe the forthcoming resource estimate, expected in late 2025, will position Mirage as one of the most important lithium projects in the province of Quebec.
Looking further ahead, we expect to have news related to our Greenlandic summer program shortly and look forward to the start of drilling at our Anatacau project in late Q3."
Mirage Project Drilling Overview
The Mirage Project comprises 427 claims located roughly 40 kilometers south of the Trans-Taiga Highway in Quebec's James Bay region and 34 kilometers northeast of Winsome Resources' Adina Project.
The drilling campaign focused on extending the mineralized Stacked Dyke area to the northeast. Highlights discussed in this release are shown in Table 1 and Figure 1. Collars are shown in Table 2.
Figure 1 : Central Zone of the Mirage Project
Drill hole MR-25-115 led to the discovery of a new spodumene-bearing pegmatite dyke, grading 1.19% Li₂O over 29.25 metres from 92.6 metres to 121.85 metres. This new dyke is interpreted as being subparallel to the MR-6 dyke, with an orientation of N140/30, and it highlights the potential for pegmatites to occur in close proximity to each other. The new dyke remains open in all directions.

Drill holes MR-25-105, MR-25-106, and MR-25-108 extended the "Stacked Dyke" zone by 150 metres to the northeast, with a total of 32 mineralized dykes intersected across all three holes. The most significant pegmatite in these new holes returned a grade of 1.01% Li₂O over 17.4 metres, from a downhole depth of 45.5 metres to 62.9 metres. Oriented drilling in this area confirms an average dyke orientation of N70/70 similar to those identified in the South Zone, unlike the two main dykes of the Central Zone, MR-3 and MR-6.
Drill hole MR-25-104, located approximately 1 km northeast of MR-6, targeted a highly prospective geological setting analogous to MR-4 and returned anomalous lithium values up to 502 ppm Li in sedimentary units and 902 ppm Li in basalts, over a drill hole length of 222 metres. A small dyke, measuring approximately 2-metres wide, with spodumene pseudomorphs was intercepted; however, the length and strength of the lithium anomaly observed in the host rocks are considerably higher than the dyke. This new drill hole potentially extends the lithium footprint of the Orion Lake sector, where most of the drilling has occurred to date, to a length of over 3km. At this time, the lithium anomaly remains unexplained and will be the focus of a future drill campaign.

QAQC
All drill core samples were collected under the supervision of BRW employees and contractors. The drill core was transported by helicopter and by truck from the drill platform to the core logging facility in Val-d'Or. Each core was then logged, photographed, tagged, and split by diamond saw before being sampled. All pegmatite intervals were sampled at approximately 1-meter intervals to ensure representativity. Samples were bagged; duplicated on reject, blanks and certified reference materials for lithium were inserted every 20 samples. Groups of samples were placed in larger bags, sealed with numbered tags, in order to maintain a chain of custody. The sample bags were transported from the BRW contractor facility to the AGAT laboratory in Val-d'Or. All sample preparation and analytical work was performed by AGAT by sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-OES and ICP-MS finish. All results passed the QA/QC screening at the lab and all inserted standard and blanks returned results that were within acceptable limits. All reported drill intersections are calculated based on a lower cutoff grade of 0.3% Li2O, with maximum internal dilution of 5 meters. Host basalts adjacent to the dykes may grade up to 0.3% Li2O but were excluded from the reported intersections.
