Brigadier Gold Limited announced the resumption of exploration at its Nemaska2 Lithium Property, James Bay, Quebec, following the easing of the Province's emergency fire evacuation order. Brigadier remobilized crews to continue the previously announced 2023 Phase-1 exploration program which the Company anticipates may provide targets for a late-summer 2023 drill program. Brigadier's goal for this and future exploration at Nemaska2 is to prove the existence of bulk tonnage, near-surface, lithium-bearing mineralization.

The Phase-1 program at Nemaska2 is being carried out by the Company's technical partner Geologica Groupe-Conseil (‘Geologica’) of Val D'or Quebec. Exploration at Nemaska2 will feature a focus on the approximately 20 white pegmatite outcrops, each approximately 1,000 square metres in size. Particular attention will be applied to discover the possible existence of additional pegmatite dykes or other favorable structures.

The James Bay region has seen a heightened level of activity favorable to further development of a lithium supply chain within Quebec. In May, Ford Motor Company signed an 11-year lithium hydroxide purchase agreement with Nemaska Lithium. More recently Rio Tinto has moved into the district, signing option agreements with two company's, allowing for an investment of up to $175 million in exploration of early-stage lithium targets.

Nemaska2 may be one of the most conveniently located properties in the region for access, logistics and infrastructure, which will allow Brigadier to conduct its exploration programs and publish results in an efficient and timely manner. With the recently closed private placement the Company is fully funded to carryout Phase-1 exploration at Nemaska2. Historical Exploration: The Quebec government has previously carried out a large sampling program and also an airborne magnetometric survey over Nemaska2 which shows the presence of several low magnetic anomalies likely corresponding with fractures or shear zones within the granitic Valiquette Pluton.

These structures are generally favorable to the formation of pegmatites and other metals. The presence of pegmatites recognized during the regional reconnaissance mapping, anomalous values of Li and Cs in regional untill sampling, and the presence of a major lithium deposit (Whabouchi Deposit) in the area, are all elements favorable to the existence of mineralization sought by the Company.
