VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce its regional prospecting-soil sampling program results and remaining drill results from its 2024 season at the wholly owned Thorn Project located in NW British Columbia, Canada. The Thorn Project is an underexplored copper-gold porphyry district with many large-scale exploration target areas identified.

Highlights

• Discovery of two new porphyry targets on trend along the Camp Creek corridor. The larger of the two zones is called Catalyst which is located 6-8 km from the Camp Creek Porphyry. Rock grab and chip samples of porphyry style stockwork veins from Catalyst returned up to 0.56% copper, 2.87 g/t gold, and 30.0 g/t silver. See Figures 1 to 5.
  
• Discovery of a porphyry style stockwork vein zones within a 3 km by 1.5 km altered area at the Sentinel Target. Rock sampling from the main Sentinel area generated results of up to 1.54% copper, 0.54% molybdenum, 0.2 g/t gold and 21.7 g/t silver. See Figures 1, 6, and 7.
  
• Regional rock samples assaying up to 46.9 g/t gold and 35.3% copper (at Calibre), 1525 g/t silver (at Misty).
  

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Gary R. Thompson, P.Geo., stated, “Our boots on the ground exploration approach has generated three new and exciting copper-gold porphyry targets that have never been drill tested. Brixton plans to drill some of these new targets in 2025 as well as follow up drilling on the Trapper Gold Target and Camp Creek Copper-Gold Target.”

Technical Discussion

The 2024 exploration season at the Thorn Project included an extensive surficial sampling and geological mapping program with a total of 1143 rocks, 316 soils and 28 stream sediment samples collected. In addition to sampling, a TerraSpec mineral spectrometer was utilized scanning approximately 2000 rock chips collected over the last two field seasons from across the project. The resulting short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectra data is used to assist in vectoring towards concealed porphyry deposits. Regional field work was focused on supporting 2024 drilling and advancing early-stage exploration targets to generate drill targets for the 2025 field season. Sampling was conducted across multiple target zones with highlights discussed below.

Catalyst-Tempest

At the end of the 2024 field season, two new Cu-Au-Mo porphyry targets were discovered adjacent to the northeast striking Camp Creek fault that hosts the Camp Creek and Cirque porphyry targets. With porphyry deposits often occurring in clusters or alignments, the new showings highlight the prospectivity of this major structure. Both of the new targets are hosted in Late Cretaceous porphyritic biotite-feldspar diorite intrusions with a U-Pb zircon geochronology sample returning an age date of 86.6 +/- 0.6 Ma. Overlying the porphyry are Windy Table volcanics with age dates of ~85-82 Ma. Field relationships between geological units suggest that mineralization at the new targets occurred prior to the deposition of Windy Table volcanics and are therefore of similar timing to the Camp Creek Porphyry.

The Catalyst showing, located 6 km northeast of the Camp Creek Porphyry Target, is defined by a 300 m long exposure consisting of stockwork quartz-chalcopyrite-molybdenite A veins hosted within a strong quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration zone. The showing is located within a broader 1.6 km by 1 km northeast trending alteration zone hosting phyllic to argillic assemblages, which transitions into a broader area of propylitic alteration. Soil sample assays suggest that Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralization extends up slope from the sampled vein zone.

Rock samples from the Catalyst showing returned up to 0.56% Cu, 0.11% Mo, 2.87 g/t Au, and 30.0 g/t Ag, including a 1.55 m chip across a stockwork vein zone which assayed 0.46% Cu, 68 ppm Mo, and 0.37 g/t Au (see Table 3). The anomalous gold values from samples containing porphyry style veins are encouraging for the potential of a gold-rich porphyry system. A total of 93 soil samples were collected with results up to 0.16% Cu, 0.24 g/t Au, 89 ppm Mo.

Figure 3. Rock Sample Photos from the Catalyst Showing.

The Tempest showing is located 4.5 km east of the Camp Creek Porphyry and 2.5 km south of the Catalyst showing, hosting a 500 m by 600 m zone of moderate to strong sericite-clay-pyrite altered porphyry with high sericite crystallinity identified from the SWIR data. At the northwest end of the target, an area with limited outcrop exposure contains stockwork quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite- molybdenite A veins and pyrite-sericite D veins. The presence of copper sulphides, porphyry style veins, and widespread sericite alteration indicates close proximity to a mineralizing intrusion. The extents of alteration and mineralization are currently open to the west, north and east under cover of glacial till and post-mineral volcanic deposits. A magnetic high to the north of the showing suggests potential continuity of the hydrothermal system to the north. Rock sampling at Tempest returned up to 0.36% Cu, 0.28 g/t Au, 10.8 g/t Ag, and 104 ppm Mo.

Sentinel Target

Sentinel is a newly recognized Cu-Mo porphyry target located within the East Target. The East Target hosts several mineralized Late Cretaceous intrusions, including at the Bing and Icy Cu-Mo porphyry targets. Sentinel is underlain by Late Triassic intrusive rocks and intermediate to felsic volcanics of interpreted upper Cretaceous age. The target was first identified by a large clay anomaly from Sentinel-2 remote sensing satellite data and follow-up talus fines sampling over the area generated a large Mo-Cu anomaly.

In 2024 sampling and geological mapping was focused within the anomalous area leading to discovery of multiple zones of stockwork porphyry style quartz veining accompanied by potassic, phyllic, and argillic alteration assemblages that zone out to propylitic alteration, all within a 3 km by 1.5 km area. Vein density was systematically mapped, highlighting zones of greater than 10% quartz veining and locally up to 30%. Sulphide abundance is low in the main vein zones, coinciding with low copper values, and is interpreted to be the result of a leached cap. It is believed that sulphide abundance should increase with depth below the leached cap. Rock sampling from the main Sentinel area generated results of up to 1.54% Cu, 0.54% Mo, 0.2 g/t Au and 21.7 g/t Ag (see Table 4).

Extensive copper oxides were sampled 3.5 km to the southeast of the stockwork vein zone, hosted in a potassium feldspar altered monzonite with samples assaying up to 1.12% Cu. This area has seen limited work and will be further investigated in 2025.

Calibre

The Calibre Target encompasses the region southwest of Brixton’s Camp Creek Cu-Au-Ag-Mo porphyry and Trapper Gold Targets and hosts significant copper-silver-gold mineralization. Numerous new showings were discovered in areas with no historic samples. Late Triassic to Eocene intrusive and volcanic rocks host polymetallic veins with assays up to 46.9 g/t Au, 1040 g/t Ag, 35.3% Cu (see Table 5). Of the 121 grab samples collected, 16 returned greater than 1% Cu. Of particular interest are mineralized and altered intermediate to felsic volcanics of probable Late Cretaceous age, not previously recognized in the area. This stratigraphically significant unit is associated with multiple epithermal and porphyry mineral occurrences within the Thorn Project, including the Camp Creek, Cirque, Catalyst-Tempest, and Sentinel Targets, and provides a favourable setting for magmatic-hydrothermal alteration. The new showings will be further evaluated for porphyry and epithermal potential in 2025.

Misty Target

Rock sampling was completed at the Misty Target located within a newly acquired claim block that borders the historic Golden Bear Mine, which produced greater than 485,000 ounces of gold. Samples were collected within areas of glacial recession in an area of limited historic work, approximately 2.5 km north-northwest of the Bear Main open pit.

A total of 23 rock samples were collected returning up to 31.6% Cu, 1525 g/t Ag, and 1.42 g/t Au with five samples assaying greater than 1% Cu (see Table 6). Quartz veins with semi-massive pyrite-chalcopyrite are found within Stikine Assemblage Paleozoic volcanic rocks.

Trapper

New areas of copper mineralization were uncovered during the 2024 field season in the Trapper area, approximately 5 km east of the main area of drilling at the epithermal gold target. Prospecting was completed proximal to an illite-dickite-kaolinite alteration zone previously identified by Barrick Gold in 2005. Widespread copper oxides accompanied by pyrite and rare chalcopyrite were sampled in both upper Triassic and upper Cretaceous volcanic rocks. Of the 22 samples from this area, three returned greater than 1% Cu with values of up to 3.76% Cu (see Table 7). The clay minerals identified from SWIR results, accompanied by areas of sodium and calcium depletion suggest the potential presence of a lithocap environment that forms at the upper levels of porphyry systems. Mapping in 2025 will assess the prospectivity of this area. To the south of main drilling, a previously unsampled area of quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins in upper Triassic volcanic rocks returned values of up to 11.9% Cu.

A soil grid was completed approximately 700 m southeast of the main area of drilling in an area with no outcrop to assist in undercover targeting of gold mineralization along trend of the main Trapper system. Of the 51 samples collected, seven samples assayed greater than 100 ppb Au with values up to 1680 ppb Au.

Figure 12. 2024 Samples from the Trapper Target with Copper and Gold Geochemistry. 

Plum

The Plum Target is an early-stage, porphyry-epithermal target located 30 km southeast of Thorn Camp bordering Brixton’s Metla Target to the west as well as the historic Golden Bear Mine claims to the south. Plum is characterized by a large iron-oxide clay alteration footprint that extends over 10 km² and is largely comprised of Stikine Assemblage volcaniclastic rocks and Triassic age intrusive units. The area has seen both historical and recent exploration work including mapping, prospecting, and soil sampling. Field work was carried out in areas with little to no historic sampling to better define the target potential for both porphyry-copper and epithermal-gold mineralization.

A total of 92 rock samples were collected with 11 samples returning greater than 1% Cu and one sample returning 5.79 g/t Au with copper dominant mineralization found in quartz-carbonate veins (see Table 8).

Figure 13. 2024 Samples from the Plum Target with Copper and Gold Geochemistry. 

North Target

The North Target is located approximately 10 km north of Thorn Camp and was actively explored for its porphyry Cu-Au-Ag-Mo potential during the 2024 field season. The North Target hosts upper Triassic volcanic rocks, lower Jurassic sedimentary rocks and Late Cretaceous to Eocene porphyritic intrusions. Geological mapping, rock and soil sampling was completed to support the 2024 drill program with four holes drilled at the North Target for a total of 2,266m.

A total of 257 rock and 71 soil samples were collected. Mapping and sampling were successful in outlining the extents of numerous alteration zones across the target area. Rock samples returned up to 3.92 g/t Au, 542 g/t Ag, and 6.0% Cu (see Table 9), and soils up to 0.12% Cu and 160 ppm Mo. Rock and soil geochemistry, geophysics, SWIR results, and mapping data will be utilized for further targeting within the 11 km by 4 km trend of porphyry to epithermal alteration that spans across the target area.

Figure 14. 2024 Samples from the North Target with Copper and Gold Geochemistry. 

Trifecta-Cirque

Further exploration efforts were conducted proximal to Camp Creek with geological mapping and rock sampling completed at the Trifecta and Cirque porphyry targets to support the 2024 drill campaign. A total of 167 rock samples were collected, with samples at Cirque returning up to 1.66% Cu and 3.12 g/t Au (see Table 10). At Trifecta, quartz-carbonate-barite veins occur in a 1-3 m thick vein breccia within upper Triassic volcanic rocks and returned values of 4.09% Cu and 221 g/t Ag. The veins sit within a larger 400m x 400m Cu-in-soil anomaly that was drill tested during the 2024 field season.

Figure 15. 2024 Samples from the Trifecta and Cirque Targets with Copper and Gold Geochemistry. 

Prospecting and mapping was followed up with drilling at both targets. Initial drill results from the Cirque Target were released on September 17^, 2024. The remaining hole, THN24-299 was drilled at an azimuth of 214.9 degrees and a dip of –55.0 degrees to a final depth of 686.00m. Hole 299 was planned to target sheeted porphyry-style veins containing chalcopyrite and molybdenite mineralization identified at surface, approximately 3 km northeast of the Camp Creek porphyry. The porphyry-style veins are hosted in Cretaceous age felsic to intermediate volcanics of the Windy Table Group with moderate to strong quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration.

While THN24-299 intersected narrow intervals of porphyry-style veining and mineralization resulting in only modest grades, drilling confirmed the presence of a mineralizing porphyry system nearby to which hole 299 is interpreted to have drilled along the margins of the phyllic alteration halo. Select assay intervals are listed in Table 1 below.

At Trifecta, THN24-314 was drilled at an azimuth of 325 degrees and a dip of –75 degrees to a final depth of 466.0m and did not return any significant assays. Trace occurences of chalcopyrite and molybedenite mineralization were observed within sparse quartz veins hosted in a dominantly chlorite altered lapilli tuff of the Triassic Stuhini Group.

Conclusions

Results from the 2024 field season highlight the district-scale potential for new discoveries within the Thorn Project. With porphyry deposits often occurring in clusters or alignments, the geological team is encouraged by the new discoveries at the Catalyst-Tempest and Sentinel Targets. Targeting over the winter will utilize geochemistry, geophysics, geological mapping, and SWIR results to generate drill targets and follow-up work for the 2025 field season. Numerous broad areas of the Thorn Project remain underexplored and Brixton Metals will continue to apply a mineral systems approach to advance established targets and search for unrecognized hydrothermal systems.
