Brunswick Exploration Identifies Seven New Spodumene Targets and Stakes Additional Claims at Anatacau Main
MONTREAL, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brunswick Exploration Inc. (, ; ; “BRW” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has identified three new high priority lithium targets (area A, B and C in Figure 1) at the Anatacau Main Project, where drilling is currently underway, located in the Eeyou-Istchee James Bay region of Quebec. The Project is strategically situated 22 kilometers east and along strike of a major proven lithium-bearing structural corridor also hosting Rio Tinto’s Galaxy Project and Brunswick’s Anatacau West Project.
Mr. Killian Charles, President and CEO of BRW, commented: "Anatacau is rapidly proving to be one of the most exciting projects in our portfolio alongside Mirage with the addition of these seven potential spodumene showings within larger packages of highly evolved and favorable pegmatites. These high priority targets were the result of additional compilation work in preparation for the ongoing drill program and highlight the significant exploration potential of the Project. Following the drill program at Anais, Brunswick will commence a major prospecting campaign to rapidly evaluate these new targets once ground conditions permit field activities."

Anais Discovery Targets
Between two and five kilometers south of the Anais showing where the Company is currently drilling, three unverified spodumene showings were identified through compilation work. These showings significantly expand the exploration potential surrounding the Anais discovery (area A in Figure 1). Over 200 pegmatite outcrops have been identified through satellite imagery in this area with the largest measuring approximately 500 by 200 meters.
Newly Staked Targets
Contiguous and located immediately west to the Anatacau Main Project, BRW recently completed staking covering an additional three unverified spodumene showings and 150 pegmatite outcrops (area B in Figure 1). The largest identified outcrop measures 800 by 100 meters. It is possible that the potential spodumene showings, alongside the southern most targets in area A, form a new secondary trend to the lithium-bearing structural corridor hosting Rio Tinto’s Galaxy Project and Brunswick’s Anais showing.
Pontax Trend Targets
The Pontax trend is an emerging major NE–SW regional lithium-bearing structural corridor extending over 20 kilometers across the southern portion of the Anatacau Property. Brunswick Exploration has identified over 13 highly fractionated pegmatites with highly favorable K/Rb ratios (below 30 and as low as 14) and mineralogy within the Pontax trend (area C in Figure 1) within over 90 pegmatite outcrops where the largest visible outcrop measures approximately 200 by 50 meters. These high priority targets neighbor one potential spodumene showing controlled by BRW. This corridor continues to the southwest where it hosts Cygnus Metals’ Pontax Lithium Project and Li-FT Power’s Pontax Project.
