Brixton Metals Corporation
(TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB:
BBBXF) (the “
Company” or
“
Brixton”) is pleased to announce it shall acquire
one hundred percent interest in mineral claims totaling 6446
hectares or 64.4 square kilometers within the Thorn Project, not
previously controlled, located north and northwest from the past
producing Golden Bear Mine.
Deal Terms
- Under a Purchase and Sale Agreement
with arm’s length private Vendors, Brixton shall pay the Vendors
CAD$75,000 and issue 1,250,000 common shares of Brixton upon
Exchange approval;
- Brixton shall grant the Vendors a
one percent Net Smelter Royalty Return (“NSR”) where Brixton holds
the right to buydown 50% of the NSR, half of 1% for CAD$1,000,000
prior to commercial production.
Chairman and CEO, Gary R. Thompson, stated, “We
are excited to further consolidate the Thorn Project by adding more
gold potential to the copper porphyry district play. Several gold
geochemical anomalies have been identified adjacent to and on trend
with a past producer of high-grade gold. Follow up exploration work
is planned on these newly acquired claims to define drill
targets.”

Discussion
As shown in Figure 2, several gold-in-soil
geochemical anomalies have been identified and appear to be open
for expansion. The newly acquired claims are located north and
northwest from the past producing Golden Bear Mine.

Acquired Mineral Claims.
Previous operators include Chevron, Homestake,
North American Metals and Decoors Mining. Historic rock samples
collected returned 284 sample greater than 20 ppb Au with a high of
124.85 g/t gold and 77.47 g/t silver from the Shoulder Zone
collected by Homestake 1991 (Hamilton, 1994). In 1984, Chevron
collected a rock grab from the Spire Zone that returned 14.00 g/t
gold (Bruaset, 1984). The Honk Showing is a shear hosted
quartz-pyrite vein along a north-trending splay of the Ophir Break
returned 18.07 g/t gold and 64.80 g/t silver from a rock grab
sample (McBean, 1990). Limited drilling has returned mixed results.
One of the best values obtained from drilling was 1.1 g/t gold and
30.3 g/t silver over 4.0m from drillhole R90-7 (Allen, 1990).
Gold was mined from the Golden Bear Mine from
1990-2001 and is currently held by Newmont Corporation and the site
is under remediation and reclamation. The Golden Bear deposits,
located south and southeast from these newly acquired claims, are
Carlin-type and low sulphidation type gold deposits.
The 1987 Reserve Estimate for the Bear Main Zone, which was one
of six deposits, was proven and probable of 1.2 MT at 12 g/t
gold.

On October 17, 1994, the owners of the Golden
Bear Mine announced the discovery of the Grizzly zone where it had
drilled 27 g/t Au over a true width of 3.9m and a 15.5m
intersection grading 14.4 g/t Au. Source: The Northern Miner news
publication, 1994.
Gold mineralization in the mine area is
structurally controlled as north-south to northwest structures. A
major north to northwest trending fault, known as the Ophir Break
Zone, extends through the area for over 10km and is defined by
areas of intense fracturing with abundant slickensides, areas of
carbonaceous and siliceous black siltstone and gouge, and linear
quartz-iron carbonate-pyrite- listwanites and quartz-dolomite
alteration zones.
Mineralization consists of pyrite, trace
arsenopyrite and scorodite, native gold, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite,
stibnite and tetrahedrite. Pyrite occurs as late-stage veinlets and
as earlier breccia matrix filling, fragments within breccias.

These newly acquired claims do not contain any
reserves or resources and are considered early-stage exploration
targets for its high-grade underground potential. There are no
assurances that future work will define resources or reserves.
