Brixton Metals Corporation
(TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB:
BBBXF) (the “
Company” or
“
Brixton”) is pleased to announce its first drill
results of the 2024 season from its wholly owned Thorn Project
located in NW British Columbia, Canada. The 2880 square-kilometer
claim group is located within the traditional territory of the
Tahltan First Nation and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation. The
Thorn Project is an underexplored copper-gold porphyry district
with 16 large scale exploration target areas identified. Brixton is
currently drilling with two rigs until the end of the season.
Ground MT geophysical surveys at the North Copper Target and Cirque
Copper Target are now complete and geochemical surveys, prospecting
and mapping are ongoing.
Highlights
- Copper dominant porphyry
mineralization starts at 314.5m depth in hole THN24-290 which ended
in mineralization at 1564m depth and remains open in all
directions
- Important higher-grade
sub-intervals yield broad zones of Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralization as:
- 960.40m of 0.21% Cu, 0.06 g/t Au,
2.71 g/t Ag, 279 ppm Mo or 0.39% CuEq
- 452.00m of 0.28% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au,
3.39 g/t Ag, 272 ppm Mo or 0.46% CuEq
- 391.50m of 0.30% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au,
3.59 g/t Ag, 294 ppm Mo or 0.49% CuEq
- 121.50m of 0.35% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au,
6.27 g/t Ag, 184 ppm Mo or 0.55% CuEq
- 8.00m of 0.72% Cu, 0.25 g/t Au,
33.99 g/t Ag, 246 ppm Mo or 1.21% CuEq
- 150.73m of 0.32% Cu, 0.04 g/t Au,
2.58 g/t Ag, 461 ppm Mo or 0.56% CuEq
- 64.73m of 0.39% Cu, 0.07 g/t Au,
3.11 g/t Ag, 389 ppm Mo or 0.61% CuEq
- Hole THN24-290 significantly
increases the volume of mineralized porphyry at Camp Creek
Vice President of Exploration, Christina Anstey
stated, “We are delighted to report on these exceptionally broad
copper intervals from the initial drill results of our fully funded
2024 season at the Thorn Project. We are looking forward to
receiving results for two additional deep holes, 291 (assays
pending) and 294 (currently drilling) at Camp Creek, which were
planned as northwest step outs from previous drilling as well as
three completed drill holes at the Cirque Copper Target (assays
pending), located 3km east from the Camp Creek Target area.”

HQ and NQ size core samples were cut in half and
sampled predominantly at 2.0m intervals. The true width of the
mineralized intervals have not yet been determined.

Discussion
THN24-290 was collared from the same pad as
THN23-277 and was drilled at an azimuth of 325 degrees with a dip
of -78 degrees to a total depth of 1564.00m. The objective of hole
THN24-290 was to test below hole 277 from 2023 that failed to reach
target depth due to ground conditions. THN23-277 was planned to
test for a high-grade part of the porphyry system at Camp Creek
while infilling a large gap of nearly one square-kilometer between
previous drill holes. Hole 290 was successful in extending
Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralization both laterally and to depth in this area
with meaningful higher grade sub-intervals within the 1249.50m of
mineralization drilled. Porphyry mineralization is hosted in the
Cretaceous aged diorite Porphyry X unit, a crowded plagioclase
porphyry characterized by well-defined stacked biotite, a feature
typical of mineral-related porphyry phases. Mineralization is also
hosted within Triassic Stuhini Group sedimentary rocks, which are
intruded by the porphyry phases. Mineralization consists dominantly
of chalcopyrite, molybdenite and pyrite as disseminations, fracture
fill and within porphyry-style veins. Pyrite is dominate in the
upper part of the hole as it gives way to increased chalcopyrite
and molybdenite with increasing depth. Alteration assemblages
transition from advanced argillic at surface, into a pronounced
zone of strong phyllic alteration and ultimately into potassic
assemblages around the core of the system. Higher-grade
mineralization typically occurs around the -400m below sea level.
At this level hole THN24-290 is spaced 440m east from previously
reported hole 184, 350m west from hole 261, and 300m south from
hole 221 (see plan map in Figure 2) and constitutes a significant
step-out from previous drilling.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Quality assurance and quality control protocols
for drill core sampling was developed by Brixton. Core samples were
mostly taken at 1.0 to 2.0m intervals. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp)
and certified reference materials were inserted into the sample
stream for at least every 20 drill core samples. Core samples were
cut in half, bagged, zip-tied and sent directly to ALS Minerals
preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon or Langley, British
Columbia depending on available lab capacity. ALS Minerals
Laboratories is registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025
accreditations for laboratory procedures. Samples were analyzed at
ALS Laboratory Facilities in North Vancouver, British Columbia for
gold by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish, whereas Ag,
Pb, Cu and Zn and 48 additional elements were analyzed using four
acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Over limits for gold were
analyzed using fire assay and gravimetric finish. The standards,
certified reference materials, were acquired from CDN Resource
Laboratories Ltd., of Langley, British Columbia and the standards
inserted varied depending on the type and abundance of
mineralization visually observed in the primary sample. Blank
material used consisted of non-mineralized siliceous landscaping
rock. A copy of the QAQC protocols can be viewed at the Company’s
website.
