Word on the Decline

  • Brunswick Exploration delivered a monster lithium hit overnight, drilling 302m @ 1.73% Li₂O at Anatacau in Quebec

  • At 523 grade-metres, it narrowly eclipses AVZ's best Manono intercept, beats Patriot's best at Corvette, and trails only the truly absurd likes of Q2's 457m @ 1.65% (755)

  • Brunswick is worth just ~C$87m fully diluted, and Anatacau sits only 20km from Rio Tinto's Galaxy project

  • It looks an obvious eventual target for Rio. We doubt that ~C$87m price tag survives for very long
