Brunswick (BRW) has begun a drilling and stripping program at the Hearst Project, located 25 minutes south of Hearst, Ontario.
The drilling and stripping programs will test the spodumene-bearing Decoy pegmatite as well as the newly discovered Mantis and Firefly pegmatites.
2023 Hearst Drill Program
An initial 1,000-metre diamond drill program will test the strike extent and depth extension of the spodumene bearing Decoy pegmatite as well as the newly discovered Mantis and Firefly pegmatites.
All three of these evolved pegmatites outcrop at surface allowing for efficient and cost-effective drilling near supportive infrastructure. Firefly and Mantis are evolved pegmatites having similar mineralogy and pXRF signatures as the spodumene-bearing Decoy pegmatite. However, the former do not presently expose lithium-bearing zones.
The program will start at the Decoy pegmatite. The company has planned minimum of 4 holes to test the width and eastern extent of the spodumene-bearing zone.
The Firefly and Mantis pegmatites were discovered in the fall of 2022. These are located roughly two kilometers southwest of Decoy. The pegmatites are exposed at surface in four separate outcrops. It measure up to 95 metres by 26 metres in area and are open in all directions.
A stripping program will determine the strike direction and width of the newly discovered pegmatites and hopefully exposed spodumene-bearing zones. The geological information gathered from the proposed stripping program at Firefly and Mantis will allow BRW to rapidly plan drilling at these two targets, if warranted.
Prospecting on the broader Hearst Project will also begin once the snow melts in May.
