Brixton Metals Corporation
(TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB:
BBBXF) (the “
Company” or
“
Brixton”) is pleased to announce the remaining
2023 drill results from its Camp Creek Copper Porphyry Target on
its wholly owned Thorn Project. The project is located in Northwest
British Columbia, 90km east of Juneau, Alaska and within the Taku
River Tlingit and Tahltan First Nation’s traditional territory.
Highlights
- Step-out drilling in 2023 has
expanded copper porphyry mineralization to a 950m by 1050m area at
the Camp Creek Target which remains open in multiple
directions
- THN23-285 intersected 717.00m of
0.50% CuEq (0.20% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 1.92 g/t Ag, 458 ppm Mo)
- Including 248.05m of 0.60% CuEq (0.37% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au, 3.32
g/t Ag, 255 ppm Mo)
- Hole THN23-277 ended in strong
copper mineralization (2m of 0.66% Cu) with strong porphyry
indicators and while the hole failed to reach its target depth, it
is set up to wedge from 900m depth as a daughter hole early next
drill season
Chairman and CEO Gary Thompson stated: “2023
proved to be another successful year on the Camp Creek Copper
Porphyry Target. We have what appears to be a large mineralized and
alteration footprint with limited deep holes testing a buried
system. In collaboration with MDRU (UBC’s Mineral Deposit Research
Unit) and the recent oversubscribed $14.5 million financing, we
look forward to further drill-testing this target during the 2024
field season.”

Discussion
The 2023 program at the Camp Creek Porphyry
Target totaled 10,099.68m of drilling from nine holes. This News
Release covers the remaining four drill holes for Camp Creek. For
previous assays from the 2023 program at Camp Creek see News
Release dated September 21st, 2023. Camp Creek is a newly
discovered, blind calc-alkalic copper-gold-silver-molybdenum
porphyry target with only seventeen holes testing greater than 800m
depth since 2019.
Drill hole THN23-285 was drilled as a 170m step
out to the east from THN22-201 (967.71m of 0.43% CuEq) and a 200m
step out to the southeast from THN21-184 (318.25m of 1.03% CuEq
within 821.25m of 0.54% CuEq). THN23-285 was drilled to 1602.00m,
making it the second deepest hole on the property, with broad
vein-hosted and disseminated chalcopyrite-molybdenite
mineralization within the Cretaceous aged Porphyry X unit and
Triassic Stuhini Group sediments. THN23-285 intersected 717.00m of
0.50% CuEq, including 248.05m of 0.60% CuEq, all within 1564.50m of
0.35% CuEq. In addition to Cu-Mo porphyry mineralization,
near-surface high-sulphidation epithermal veins at 173.0m yielded
10.39 g/t Au and 76.82 g/t Ag over 1.00m.

The true width of the mineralized intervals have not yet been
determined.
Copper Equivalent (CuEq) is calculated based on
US$ 3.82/lb Cu, US$ 1863.32/oz Au, US$ 22.59/oz Ag, $US 23.19/lb
Mo. These prices represent the approximate 1 year moving averages
of metal prices and calculations assume 95% recovery.
CuEq % = (Cu % + (0.711384* Au g/t) + (0.008624 *
Ag g/t) + (0.000607 * Mo ppm)) * 0.95

976.75m Depth from a 1.00m Interval that Assayed 0.35% Cu, 207 ppm
Mo.
THN23-277 was planned as a follow up to
THN23-261 (855.00m of 0.52% CuEq), stepping out 250m to the
west-southwest towards THN22-201. Due to poor ground conditions
which led to delays in drilling, THN23-277 was only drilled to a
total depth of 1041.00m. The hole ended in strong Cu-Mo
mineralization with 84.00m of 0.42% CuEq, within 724.00m of 0.22%
CuEq starting at 317.00m. Intercepts of Porphyry X began at 705.50m
and continued to end of hole. THN23-277 encountered some of the
most abundant mineralized quartz veining observed at Camp Creek
with stockwork vein densities of up to 60%. Given the encouraging
visuals from the core, casing and drill rods were left in the hole
to re-enter and continue drilling as a daughter wedge hole at the
start of the 2024 field season. A 2.00m interval from 1032.00m
depth assayed 0.66% Cu, 112 ppm Mo, 12.0 g/t Ag, 0.24 g/t Au.
THN23-276 was a 250m step out to the
east-northeast from THN23-261. The objective was to test between
previous deep mineralized porphyry intercepts and the Oban Breccia,
where drilling in 2019 yielded 554.70m of 0.97% CuEq from
THN19-150. THN23-276 was drilled to a depth of 1470.00m and
intersected multiple intervals of Porphyry X. THN23-276 yielded
1087.48m of 0.15% CuEq, including 506.00m of 0.21% CuEq, and
including 34.41m 0.47% CuEq. While PX intervals hosted consistent
Cu-Mo mineralization, overall grades were diluted by a series of
late-mineralization feldspar-porphyry intrusions.
THN23-263 was planned as a 450m step-out to the
east from THN22-221 (779.65m of 0.41% CuEq) to test whether copper
porphyry mineralization extends to the northeast along Camp Creek
where strong argillic alteration is observed on surface. THN23-263
was drilled to a depth of 1425.00m and intersected dominantly
Stuhini Group sediments, Cretaceous aged Porphyry Y unit, and a
polymictic mineralized breccia starting at 1240.00m to end of hole.
Hole 263 yielded 726.00m of 0.14% CuEq including 189.00m of 0.21%
CuEq, with increasing grades at the bottom of the hole within the
brecciated unit. While no Porphyry X was intersected in hole 263,
it was successful in expanding the copper porphyry mineralization
footprint at Camp Creek to a 950m x 1050m area, which remains open
in multiple directions.

MDRU Collaboration
Brixton Metals is collaborating with the
University of British Columbia’s Mineral Deposit Research Unit as
part of the BC Porphyry Study. An M.Sc. research project has
commenced on the Camp Creek Porphyry Target with the goal of
establishing geochemical and alteration vectors towards blind
porphyry mineralization. In addition, an alteration mapping project
is underway to characterize and map the large 4.1km x 3.9km
alteration footprint centered around Camp Creek. With porphyry
deposits frequently found in clusters, the use of petrographic,
geochemical, and mineral spectrometer analyses will be used on
drill core and 177 hand specimens collected within the alteration
footprint during the 2023 field season to aid with further
vectoring outside of the currently drilled area.

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 – 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 Langley, British Columbia. 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.
