Brunswick uncovers more spodumene-bearing pegmatite at Nuuk in Greenland
Brunswick Exploration has extended the spodumene-bearing corridor at its Nuuk lithium project, in Greenland, confirming an additional pegmatite over three kilometres from the initial discovery zone.
This expansion nearly doubles the scale and width of the mineralised system.
Brunswick CEO and president Killian Charles says the growing scale of the Nuuk lithium project highlights the lithium potential there is in Greenland. “As lithium markets and fundamentals gain momentum, we believe that Greenland remains one of the most exciting and underexplored jurisdictions with significant critical mineral endowment globally. With first-mover advantage, Brunswick Exploration is the only company exploring for lithium in the country.”
The newly discovered spodumene-bearing pegmatite significantly expands the area affected by late-stage, highly evolved lithium-bearing fluids. The corridor now measures four kilometres by one kilometre.
For comparison, the company’s Mirage project has a corridor of lithium-bearing pegmatite measuring about six by three kilometres.
To date, a total of nine spodumene-bearing pegmatites have been discovered in the Ivisaartoq field, measuring up to 400 m in length and 40 m in width, with up to 50% visual spodumene.
Brunswick Exploration plans to complete prospecting and mapping throughout the East Greenland portfolio starting mid-July, which includes the Hinks, Clavering and Hudson licences.
