As governments at all levels worldwide announce lofty targets for decarbonising our society, global markets for metals and minerals deemed critical for the green energy transition have shifted significantly. Metals once overlooked now find themselves in high demand. Lithium is among these critical technological metals.<\/p>\n
Over the past years, the demand for lithium has skyrocketed. The surge is fuelled by the demand for electric vehicles<\/a> (EVs), whose lithium-ion batteries require considerable amounts of this critical metal. Here in North America, we have seen major investments in both new and existing EV battery plants, positioning lithium as a key part of the modern green economy.<\/p>\n These developments have been met with well-deserved enthusiasm and support. However, a glaring question needs to be answered: where will all this lithium come from?<\/p>\n As demand escalates and current lithium mines progress through their anticipated operational mine life, it becomes increasingly clear that we do not currently have sufficient known lithium resources to meet this demand. The World Economic Forum expects demand to reach over two million tons a year by 2030, and our deposits currently only produce ~130,000 tons per year. It is therefore crucial for us to find new deposits and to find them as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n Brunswick Exploration<\/a> (BRW) is based in Montr\u00e9al and is Canada\u2019s largest grassroots exploration company. It has the largest land package of staked claims across the country.<\/p>\n Our approach is to conduct large-scale grassroots exploration aggressively and systematically for hard rock lithium in Canada so that we can find as many deposits as quickly as possible and solidify Canada\u2019s role in supplying the global markets with the resources needed to decarbonise effectively.<\/p>\n What drives us at Brunswick Exploration is not just our expansive exploration ambitions but notably our efficiency and effectiveness in this field. We are able to explore vast swaths of land over a relatively short period of time using state-of-the-art technologies, including portable XRF-LIBS multi-element geochemistry pegmatite discrimination criteria and satellite imagery. These allow us to assess an area in minutes and proceed to the next, covering more terrain in a shorter period than any other company in Canada.<\/p>\n The year 2024 was one filled with achievement for BRW as we continued multiple drilling and stripping programmes across Qu\u00e9bec, all the while maintaining our trademark aggressive grassroots lithium prospecting in new regions of Canada and Greenland. We successfully completed our drilling exploration programme and identified the top formations that hold the best potential for lithium.<\/p>\nThe Brunswick Exploration approach<\/h3>\n
