VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce the first batch of 2024 drill results from the Trapper Gold Target at its wholly owned Thorn Project. The project is located in Northwest British Columbia, 90km east of Juneau, Alaska.

Highlights

  • Nine visible gold occurrences observed across three drill holes

  • Hole THN24-300 yielded 254.00m of 0.48 g/t Au from 6.00m depth

    • Including 171.00m of 0.63 g/t Au

    • Including 41.00m of 1.08 g/t Au

    • Including 6.00m of 4.19 g/t Au, 22.07 g/t Ag

  • Hole THN24-302 yielded 141.00 of 0.35 g/t Au from 9.00m depth

    • Including 30.00m of 0.70 g/t Au

    • Including 10.00m of 0.92 g/t Au

  • Hole THN24-303 yielded 216.76 of 0.25 g/t Au from 154.00m depth

    • Including 23.00m of 1.24 g/t Au

    • Including 11.00m of 2.34 g/t Au

    • Including 3.90m of 5.58 g/t Au

Vice President of Exploration, Christina Anstey, stated, "These latest results from the Trapper Gold Target continue to demonstrate the potential for significant gold mineralization. The results from hole THN24-303 present new opportunities for step-out drilling north of the main target area and we look forward to expanding on these encouraging findings.”

All assay values are uncut weighted averages and intervals reflect drilled lengths as further drilling is required to determine the true widths of the mineralization.

Discussion

The 2024 drill campaign at the Trapper Gold Target totaled 2,745.60m of drilling across 11 HQ-sized diamond drill holes of which three drill holes totaling 967.00m are covered in this release. The program was designed to test the extents and continuity of the main mineralized corridor along the Lawless Fault zone through a combination of infill and step-out drilling. Additional step-out drilling was completed north of the main zone, following-up on undercover mineralized zones that were identified during the 2023 drill program. Drilling was planned through a combination of mapping, oriented core data analysis, geophysics, and soil geochemistry. Additional assays from the 2024 drill campaign will be released as they become available.
