BRIXTON METALS SAMPLES 19 G/T GOLD AT THE THORN PROJECT AND IDENTIFIES A NEW LARGE SCALE GOLD-IN-SOIL ANOMALY

Brixton Metals Corp. has provided results from phase-one exploration at its 100-per-cent-owned Thorn gold-silver project located in northwestern British Columbia. The program was designed to test for gold mineralization in a previously unexplored section that is underlain by favourable geology on the 280-square-kilometre property.

A total of 891 soil samples and 159 rock samples were collected during the phase-one 2016 program at the Thorn project. The majority of samples were collected within a new area of the property that has not seen any previous exploration, which is called the Chivas zone. Secondary areas sampled were the Outlaw, Aberlour, Trapper and Amarillo zones, where follow-up sampling was conducted based on encouraging gold results. Given the results, further exploration work is planned.

Gary R. Thompson, chairman and chief executive officer of Brixton, stated: "The Thorn project continues to show promise for both high-grade-gold-and-silver underground-type targets and large-scale open-pit-type targets. Geochemical surveys have shown to be an effective tool for identifying new mineralized zones. We are looking forward to further work at Thorn, including geochemical surveys, geophysical surveys, geological mapping and drilling."

The Chivas zone is a broad gold-in-soil anomaly approximately 2.5 kilometres long and 1.9 kilometres wide and remains open in several directions. The highest gold-in-soil concentration was obtained from the Chivas zone, assaying 6.39 grams per tonne gold or 6,390 parts per billion gold. From the 891 soil samples collected, 227 samples assayed greater than 100 parts per billion gold, 76 samples assayed greater that 300 parts per billion gold, 20 samples assayed greater than 1,000 parts per billion gold and three samples assayed greater than 3,000 parts per billion gold.

A one-metre rock-chip sample, Q049457, contained the highest gold-in-rock concentration at 19.39 grams per tonne gold and 136 grams per tonne silver within the Aberlour zone. Rock grab sample Q049407 contained the highest silver-in-rock concentration at 2,240 grams per tonne silver with 1.16 grams per tonne gold, 9.4 per cent lead and 3.15 per cent zinc within the Chivas zone. From the 159 rock samples, four samples assayed greater than three grams per tonne gold, nine samples assayed greater than one gram per tonne gold and 27 samples assayed greater than 0.3 gram per tonne gold. Additionally, three samples assayed greater than 50 grams per tonne silver, 15 samples assayed greater than 10 grams per tonne silver and 42 samples assayed greater than 2.5 grams per tonne silver.

Aberlour gold zone

The Aberlour zone is a high-grade gold target. The mineralization is a structurally controlled zone of siliceous-sulphide-rich material hosted by Stuhini mafic volcanics that appears to be one metre to four metres wide. The zone trends approximately 140 degrees and dips steeply with east-west cross-structures. The zone is partly exposed in a recessive drainage for about 30 metres to 50 metres. A two-metre chip sample in 2004 returned up to 57 grams per tonne gold and 89 grams per tonne silver (2004 samples ranged between 4.26 grams per tonne gold to 57.38 grams per tonne gold). Sample Q049457 from the 2016 program was a one-metre rock-chip sample that returned 19.39 grams per tonne gold and 136 grams per tonne silver. From the seven rock samples collected during this program at the Aberlour zone, five returned greater than one gram per tonne gold and three returned greater than six grams per tonne gold. The next step is geological mapping, further rock-soil sampling and drill testing.

Chivas gold zone

The new Chivas zone was first identified and sampled in 2014 by a single 700-metre soil line which returned up to 11 grams per tonne gold. This recent work now represents the Chivas zone as a broad gold-in-soil anomaly approximately 2.5 kilometres long and 1.9 kilometres wide and remains open in several directions or an area greater than five square kilometres. The area is underlain by the favourable Stuhini group volcanics and the related red-line unconformity boundary separating Jurassic clastic sediments. The next step is to collect additional soil and rock samples to infill and expand the anomaly, induced polarization geophysical survey to cover the geochemical anomaly, as well as geological mapping and drill testing.

Outlaw gold zone

Soil sampling extended the gold-in-soil anomaly to the north and northwest by about 150 metres and still remains open. Samples were collected to the north of where 2014 drill holes 127 (11.58 metres of 1.96 grams per tonne gold) and 128 (59.65 metres of 1.15 grams per tonne gold) intersected mineralization. Four soil samples from this program in this area returned greater than 1,000 parts per billion gold with a high of 1,550 parts per billion gold. The Outlaw zone is a sediment-hosted gold-silver system with a 3.5-kilometre-by-two-kilometre (seven square kilometres) gold-in-soil anomaly. This area is also related to the favourable red-line boundary (an unconformity between Triassic Stuhini group volcanics and Jurassic clastic sediments). The zone was first identified by Chevron Minerals in the early 1980s. Next steps are drilling of 3,000 metres to 6,000 metres.

Soil samples or talus fines were frequently collected on contour at 50-metre stations; however, in some areas where appreciable gossanous soils and or sulphide material were visible, sample density was increased.

All rock and soil samples were sent to the ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon, which is ISO9001:2008 certified. Soil samples were sieved to 180 microns (minus-80 mesh) and both fractions were retained. Rock samples were fine crushed to 70 per cent nominal passing two millimetres. They were then split using a riffle splitter into a 250-gram sample and pulverized to 85 per cent passing 75 microns. Each sample was analyzed for ore-grade gold and silver using aqua regia extraction with an ICP finish. Overlimits were further analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.
