Brixton Metals Provides Assays from the Second Camp Creek Drill Hole of the 2024 Exploration Program with an Upper 61.5m Gold Dominant Zone and a Lower 1126.05m Interval of Porphyry Copper Dominant Zone
Brixton Metals (BBBXF) has announced results from its second drill hole of the 2024 season at the Thorn Project in British Columbia, Canada. The drill hole, THN24-291, revealed two significant zones:
1. A gold-dominant zone yielding 61.50m of 0.89 g/t Au, including 4.65m of 6.15 g/t Au.
2. A copper-dominant porphyry zone with 1126.05m of 0.31% CuEq, including higher-grade sub-intervals.
The gold zone potentially extends the Talisker Zone to a 900m strike length. The copper zone significantly expands the known mineralization at Camp Creek towards the northwest. The company continues drilling with two diamond drills until the end of the season.
Brixton Metals (BBBXF) ha annunciato i risultati della sua seconda perforazione della stagione 2024 presso il progetto Thorn in Columbia Britannica, Canada. La perforazione, THN24-291, ha rivelato due zone significative:
1. Una zona prevalentemente d'oro con 61,50 m di 0,89 g/t Au, inclusi 4,65 m di 6,15 g/t Au.
2. Una zona porfirica prevalentemente di rame con 1126,05 m di 0,31% CuEq, inclusi sub-intervalli di grado superiore.
La zona d'oro potrebbe estendere la Talisker Zone fino a una lunghezza di 900 m. La zona di rame amplia significativamente la mineralizzazione conosciuta a Camp Creek verso nord-ovest. L'azienda continua a perforare con due perforatrici a diamante fino alla fine della stagione.

1. Una zona dominada por el oro que arroja 61,50 m de 0,89 g/t Au, incluyendo 4,65 m de 6,15 g/t Au.
2. Una zona porfirica dominada por el cobre con 1126,05 m de 0,31% CuEq, incluyendo subintervalos de mayor calidad.
La zona de oro podría extender la Zona Talisker a una longitud de 900 m. La zona de cobre expande significativamente la mineralización conocida en Camp Creek hacia el noroeste. La empresa continúa perforando con dos taladros de diamante hasta el final de la temporada.
Brixton Metals (BBBXF)는 캐나다 브리티시컬럼비아의 Thorn 프로젝트에서 2024 시즌 두 번째 굴착의 결과를 발표했습니다. 굴착, THN24-291은 두 개의 주요 구역을 드러냈습니다:
1. 금이 우세한 구역으로 61.50m의 0.89 g/t Au를 포함하고 있으며, 4.65m의 6.15 g/t Au를 포함합니다.
2. 구리가 우세한 포르피리 구역으로 1126.05m의 0.31% CuEq를 포함하고 있으며, 더 높은 등급의 서브 인터벌도 포함됩니다.
금 구역은 Talisker 구역을 900m의 스트라이크 길이로 확장할 가능성이 있습니다. 구리 구역은 Camp Creek에서 북서쪽으로 알려진 광물화 작용을 크게 확대합니다. 회사는 시즌 종료 때까지 두 개의 다이아몬드 드릴로 계속 굴착하고 있습니다.
Brixton Metals (BBBXF) a annoncé les résultats de son deuxième trou de forage de la saison 2024 au projet Thorn en Colombie-Britannique, Canada. Le trou de forage, THN24-291, a révélé deux zones significatives :
1. Une zone dominée par l'or produisant 61,50 m de 0,89 g/t Au, y compris 4,65 m de 6,15 g/t Au.
2. Une zone porphyrique dominée par le cuivre avec 1126,05 m de 0,31% CuEq, y compris des sous-intervalles de qualité supérieure.
La zone d'or pourrait prolonger la zone de Talisker sur une longueur de 900 m. La zone de cuivre élargit significativement la minéralisation connue sur Camp Creek vers le nord-ouest. L'entreprise poursuit ses forages avec deux foreuses à diamant jusqu'à la fin de la saison.

Discussion
THN24-291 was collared 285m west from THN21-184 collar and drilled at an azimuth of 150 degrees with a dip of -82 degrees to a total depth of 1524.00m. The objective of hole THN24-291 was to test for the high-grade part of the system and to expand mineralization footprint to the northwest.
The gold zone in the upper section of hole 291 from 116.50-178.00m yielded 61.5m of 0.89 g/t Au, 10.5 g/t Ag, and

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.
