MONTREAL, May 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brunswick Exploration Inc. (“BRW” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that is has signed an amendment to the option agreement made in October 27th 2020 with prospector Robert Murray to acquire a 100% interest in the Menzies Lake Claim (“Property”), located 20 kilometers west of the City of Saint John, New Brunswick. The Property is adjacent to the Fundy Gold project and hosts a new vein grab sample discovery grading 70.40 g/t Au, 20.0 g/t Ag and 0.28% Cu in close proximity to the highly prospective Spruce Lake Shear Zone (Figure 1).
Mr. Killian Charles, President of BRW, commented: “We are very pleased to further consolidate our Fundy Gold project and work with Rob on another exciting greenfield discovery in southern New Brunswick. The mineralization is interpreted to be near the Spruce Lake Shear Zone which is host to the 67.2 g/t Au discovery announced at Little Lepreau in 2020. Company prospectors have arrived at Fundy Gold and will initially follow-up on anomalous soils results from our 2020 grid (see Press Release dated March 17 2021)."
Menzies Lake Overview
The total Property comprises 27 units with a total surface area of 614 hectares (6.14 square kilometres). The grab sample mineralization is hosted in an outcrop with abundant quartz carbonate veins within the Ludgate Lake Granodiorite. The Spruce Lake Shear Zone is believed to be the fluid conduit for mineralization at the Little Lepreau discovery extending to Shadow Lake and Menzies Lake, for a strike length of roughly 16 kilometers.
