MONTREAL, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Brunswick Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: BRW, OTCQB: BRWXF; FRANKFURT: 1XQ; “BRW” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed all required work expenditures and share payments to fully exercise its option agreement for the Anatacau Main and West projects. BRW has now acquired a 90% interest in both projects and retains a right of first refusal (“ROFR”) on the remaining free-carried 10% held by Electric Elements Mining Corp.
Anatacau Main – Anais
The Company recently completed a winter drill campaign at the Anatacau Main Project (“Anatacau Main”), where the Anais showing is located, following successful exploration work in 2025. Multiple large, well-mineralized pegmatites have been identified in drill core, and several holes still have pending assays, which will be released in the coming weeks.

The true thickness of the Anais dyke is estimated to be approximately 60%.
Anatacau Main – Exploration Targets
Recent compilation work by the Company has identified several high-priority targets across the rest of the project. Between two and five kilometres south of the Anais showing, three unverified spodumene showings were identified through compilation work. These showings significantly expand the exploration potential surrounding the Anais discovery.
Further south on the project, the Company has identified over 16 highly fractionated pegmatites with favourable K/Rb ratios and mineralogy within the Pontax trend, among more than 90 pegmatite outcrops. These high-priority targets are located near two potential spodumene showings controlled by BRW.
Anatacau West Project
The Anatacau West Project is immediately contiguous to Rio Tinto’s James Bay Lithium Project. Based on drilling completed to date, BRW has intercepted at least two large spodumene-bearing pegmatites within 250 metres of mineralized pegmatites on Rio Tinto’s project. These pegmatites share the same orientation and strike.
Drilling has initially focused on near-surface mineralization, with the pegmatites drill-tested to a maximum vertical depth of 137 metres. They remain open at depth.
Till work completed in 2024 also outlined significant potential for the repetition of new pegmatites further south and east of the drilled pegmatites, where several high spodumene grain-count values were reported.
