Mr. Killian Charles of Brunswick Exploration reports

BRUNSWICK EXPLORATION OPTIONS PROPERTY IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO PMET'S CORVETTE DISCOVERY

Brunswick Exploration Inc. has signed an option agreement with Midland Exploration to acquire a maximum 85-per-cent interest in potential LCT (lithium-cesium-tantalum) mineralization of the Mythril and Elrond properties, located in the James Bay region of Quebec. The Mythril property is located immediately north of Patriot Battery Metal's Corvette project in Quebec.

Mr. Killian Charles, President of BRW, commented: "We are very pleased to further expand our exploration holdings in Quebec's James Bay region with this option agreement. The lithium acquisition option on the Mythril and Elrond properties are adjacent to Patriot Battery Metals' outstanding Corvette project. This option agreement constitutes a significant addition to our extensive James Bay grassroots portfolio and we are excited to rapidly unlock its lithium potential in 2023."

Midland Exploration Option Agreement

The Mythril and Elrond property package contains a total of 511 claims, representing 26,290 hectares. Both properties have never been explored for lithium. Prospecting will be prioritized in 2023 and may lead to trenching and drilling if results warrant it.

The First Option allows BRW to acquire an initial 50% interest in the rare mineral potential of the Properties (exclusive of base and precious metals) for a total consideration of $500,000 in cash and shares over a 3 year period, upon closing of the option agreement (the "Agreement") under the following terms:

  • An initial payment of $50,000, half of which is in shares, within five (5) business days of the Effective Date of the Agreement;
  • A payment of $100,000, half of which is in shares, on or before the 1st year anniversary of the Effective Date of the Agreement;
  • A payment of $140,000, half of which is in shares, on or before the 2nd year anniversary of the Effective Date of the Agreement;
  • A payment of $210,000 in shares, on or before the 3rd year anniversary of the Effective Date of the Agreement;

In order to exercise the First Option; Brunswick Exploration shall fund an aggregate amount of $1,500,000 in Work Expenditures in accordance with the following schedule:

  • A firm commitment of $300,000, on or before the 1st year anniversary of the Effective Date;
  • An aggregate of $600,000, on or before the 2nd year anniversary of the Effective Date;
  • An aggregate of $1,500,000, on or before the 3rd year anniversary of the Effective Date;

The Second Option allows BRW to acquire a further 35% interest in the Properties for a total consideration of $200,000 in cash or shares over a 2 year period upon exercise of the First Option under the following terms:

  • An amount of $100,000 in cash, shares or a combination of both at BRW's choosing on or before the 1st year anniversary of the exercise of the First Option
  • An amount of $100,000 in cash, shares or a combination of both at BRW's choosing on or before the 2nd year anniversary of the exercise of the First Option

In order to exercise the Second Option; Brunswick Exploration shall fund an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 in Work Expenditures in accordance with the following schedule:

An aggregate of $1,000,000, on or before the 1st year anniversary of the exercise of the First Option

An aggregate of $1,000,000, on or before the 2nd year anniversary of the exercise of the First Option

Upon execution of the Second Option, BRW will retain a right of first refusal on Midland Exploration's 15% ownership. Furthermore, Midland will not be expected to fund its pro-rata of the exploration budget following the exercise of the Second Option until construction of a mine.

Corporate Update

The Company has entered into a debt settlement agreement with Robert Wares, director and officer of the Company (the "Debt Settlement"), to settle a $333,333 outstanding payment due in November 2022 on a convertible debenture issued in 2018 and which matured in September 2021, by issuing 952,380 common shares of BRW at a deemed issue price of $0.35 per Common Share. This Debt Settlement will be executed in shares in order to preserve capital available to the Company.

The issuance of the common shares pursuant to the Debt Settlement is subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V"). The common shares issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance of the Common Shares in accordance with applicable securities laws.

After the Debt Settlement, Robert Wares will own 44,235,572 common shares and 1,300,000 options of the Corporation, representing 27.4% of the outstanding common shares of the Company on an undiluted basis and 28.0% of the outstanding common shares on a partially diluted basis, assuming full exercise of the options.

The Debt Settlement will constitute a "related party transaction" within the meaning of the TSX-V Policy 5.9 (the "Policy") and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") adopted in the Policy. The Corporation intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the Debt Settlement does not exceed 25% of the Corporation's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).

Finally, the Company wishes to announce that it has engaged Olivier Tielens to assist the management team and board in corporate development matters on a 1-year consultation basis. BRW will grant 400,000 incentive stock options to the consultant. The grant is subject to a three-year vesting period and a five-year term at an exercise price of $0.32. The stock options have been granted pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan and are subject to applicable securities laws and TSX Venture Exchange policies.
