Brixton Metals Corporation
(TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB:
BBBXF) (the “
Company” or
“
Brixton”) is pleased to announce the first batch
of drill results from its wholly owned Langis Project. The project
is located in the Cobalt Camp of Ontario which is about 500km north
from Toronto. The objective of the 2022 drill program was to test
the cobalt-nickel domain at the Langis Project. The program started
in early November with 7,000m planned and should be completed
around the 20th of December. The project is situated within the
Timiskaming First Nation traditional territory.
Highlights
- Hole LM-22-254 is the best cobalt
intercept on the project to date
- Hole LM-22-254 was collared
approximately 30m north from the previously released hole LM-18-023
which yielded 0.98m of 3.55% cobalt
- Hole LM-22-254 yielded 30.50m of
0.35% cobalt
- Including 10.02m of 0.92%
cobalt
- Including 3.50m of 1.89%
cobalt
- Including 0.50m of 9.01% cobalt,
72.50 g/t silver, 2.58% nickel
Vice President of Exploration, Christina Anstey,
stated, “This program is set out to target cobalt-nickel
mineralization specifically, as the demand for battery metals
increases. We are very excited that our first hole in 2022 has
confirmed high-grade of cobalt mineralization at the Langis
Project.”

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.
Chairman and CEO Gary Thompson, stated, “With
BHP’s strategic investment into Brixton, the primary focus is the
advancement of the Thorn Copper-Gold Porphyry Project in British
Columbia. However, we are pleased with the progress at the Langis
Silver-Cobalt-Nickel Project and can see the merits of this project
as a stand-alone cornerstone asset that warrants further drilling.
The Langis Project has excellent infrastructure and is near Electra
Battery Materials, which is building North America’s first battery
materials park. The Langis Project offers great potential for
silver, cobalt and nickel. We welcome potential joint venture
partners to reach out regarding this unique opportunity.”

Discussion
Drill holes LM-22-254 and LM-22-255 were drilled
from the same pad to test the continuity of cobalt mineralization
observed in the previously released drill hole LM-18-23 (0.98m of
3.55% Co). This trend also encompasses cobalt mineralization mapped
underground by Agnico in the 1980’s. Several cobalt-bearing veins
and veinlets were observed within a 30.50m interval of drill hole
LM-22-254 that averaged 0.35% cobalt. Using downhole structural
tools (oriented-core), the intersected veins were measured to be
steeply dipping, trending to the west-northwest. Drill hole
LM-22-255 was a down-dip test of these structures and no
mineralized veins were observed, although elevated cobalt values
(>100 ppm Co) were intersected between 130m-187m, associated
with anomalous nickel (>1,000 ppm Ni).
Cobalt and native silver mineralization at
Langis appear to be derived from separate mineralizing systems,
although the host veins commonly share structures with one another
and the two can occur together frequently. A correlation
coefficient value of 0.4 was determined between silver and cobalt
based on previous drill assays from Langis. West-northwest,
northwest and east-west trends have been identified for these
cobalt and silver-hosting structures. Cobalt mineralization appears
to favour the Coleman Member conglomerates of the Gowganda
Formation, immediately above the Keewatin mafic volcanic rocks,
although mineralized veins are observed within the mafic volcanics,
as well as within the Nippissing diabase. Cobalt occurs as
cobaltite and other Ni-Co-arsenides and sulpharsenides, hosted
within quartz-calcite veins. The veins commonly contain native
silver, pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena and
native bismuth.

Brixton has completed four previous drill
campaigns on the Langis Project, all of which have predominantly
targeted high-grade silver around the historic workings. Through
these programs, several high-grade cobalt intercepts have been
observed, including 0.98m of 3.55% Co in LM-18-23, and 1.0m of
1.965% Co and 20,995 g/t Ag in LM-18-42. For this fifth season,
targeting is focussed on cobalt specific structures, testing their
continuity and grade. Drill planning involved the use of geology
and geochemistry from previous drilling, geophysical surveys and
historic underground mapping completed by Agnico in the 1980’s.
Prior to 2022, Brixton had drilled over 35,100 meters on the Langis
Project. The 2022 season started in early November with 7,000
meters planned.

Quality Assurance & Quality
Control
Quality assurance and quality control protocols
for drill core sampling was developed by Brixton. Core samples were
mostly taken at 1.0m intervals. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp) and
certified reference materials were inserted into the sample stream
for at least every 10 drill core samples. Core samples were cut in
half, bagged, zip-tied and sent directly to ALS Minerals
preparation and analysis facility in Sudbury, Ontario. ALS Minerals
Laboratories is registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025
accreditations for laboratory procedures. Samples were analyzed for
Ag, Co, Ni and Cu and 44 additional elements using four acid
digestion with an ICP-MS 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.
About the Langis Project
Brixton’s wholly owned Langis Project is a past
producing mine site that has excellent infrastructure and is
located 500km north from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The property
sits at the northern end of Lake Temiskaming, 20km north of Electra
Battery Materials cobalt refinery and materials park, which is
under development. The mineralization occurs as native silver and
within steeply-moderately and in some cases shallow dipping veins,
veinlets and as disseminations, rosettes and fracture infill and
can be associated with calcite, hematite, pyrite, cobaltite,
chalcopyrite, niccolite and gold. Mineralization is hosted within
any of the three main rock types: Archean Keewatin volcanic and
metasedimentary rocks, Proterozoic Coleman Member sedimentary rocks
of the Huronian Supergroup and Proterozoic Nippissing diabase. The
Langis Mine produced 10.6Moz of silver at 25 opt Ag and 358,340
pounds of cobalt from 1908 to 1989. Historically, the combined
mines in the Cobalt Camp produced over 550 million ounces of silver
with 30-50 million pounds of cobalt as a by-product.
