Brixton Metals Corporation
(TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB:
BBBXF) (the “
Company” or
“
Brixton”) is pleased to provide a summary of the
past year and an outlook for 2024.
Chairman and CEO Gary R. Thompson stated:
“Drilling at the Camp Creek copper porphyry target
was successful in expanding the mineralization footprint
significantly both on strike and to depth where it remains open for
further expansion. We are looking forward to the 2024 drill season
where we are targeting new discoveries on the massive Thorn Project
and drill testing for the high-grade core of the Camp Creek
porphyry.”
2023 Highlights
Camp Creek Copper Porphyry Target, Thorn Project
(previously released)
- 10,099.68m of drilling was completed from nine holes
- Step-out drilling has expanded Cu-Au-Ag-Mo porphyry
mineralization to a strike of 1050m and to a depth of 1650m in hole
THN23-261 and molybdenum grade is increasing at depth
- THN23-285 intersected 248m of 0.60% CuEq and 150.6m of 0.64%
CuEq, and in addition to Cu-Mo porphyry mineralization,
near-surface high-sulphidation veins yielded 10.4 g/t Au and 76.8
g/t Ag over 1.0m
- THN23-261 returned 1562m of mineralization including 221m of
0.68% CuEq and 109.87m of 0.86% CuEq
- Camp Creek drilling results ranked 15th on MinerDeck’s drilling
highlights for 2023 global copper Intercepts
Trapper Gold Target, Thorn Project 6625m of drilling
completed from 23 holes
- Ten visible gold occurrences observed expanding the main zone
along strike and at depth
- Hole THN23-287 yielded 54.00m of 1.03 g/t Au, including 19.00m
of 2.34 g/t Au
- Hole THN23-288 yielded 76.50m of 1.08 g/t Au, including 6.00m
of 4.58 g/t Au
- THN23-270 yielded 98.00m of 0.62 g/t Au from 98.0m depth
- Including 32.00m of 1.15 g/t Au
- Including 6.00m of 5.07 g/t Au
- A new copper showing was discovered with disseminated bornite
at South Trapper located 5km south of the Trapper main drilling
area and includes 6.5% and 5.3% Cu from rock grab samples
New Exploration Targets
A total of 1269 rocks, 1636 soils and 62 talus
fine samples were collected across various target areas on the
Thorn Project in 2023 which returned up to 33% copper, 52 g/t gold,
and 5620 g/t silver. From the 1269 rock grab samples, 91 samples
were greater than 1% copper, 20 samples were greater than 5%
copper, 87 samples were greater than 1 g/t gold and 17 samples were
greater than 10 g/t gold. New surface discoveries were achieved at
historically worked zones, including the West Target, East Target,
and Chivas, as well as at exciting new target areas such as Metla,
North Target and South Target. Follow-up work is being planned for
2024 with the intent to drill test some of these target areas.
VP Exploration Christina Anstey stated: “The
Trapper expansion drilling was planned through a combination of
mapping, oriented core data analysis, geophysics, and soil
geochemistry. Results from the 2023 drill program continue to
demonstrate the potential for broad intercepts of near surface gold
mineralization which remains open in several directions with the
potential of expansion along the 4km surface geochemical
anomaly.”
Hog Heaven Project, Montana - Ivanhoe
Electric earn in
2023 was a pivotal year for the Hog Heaven
Project. Operated by Ivanhoe Electric Inc., the initial drilling
returned exciting results. As released October 9, 2023, Hole
HHD-005 yielded 311 meters of 1.07 g/t AuEq containing 22.89 g/t
silver, 0.35 g/t gold, 0.06% copper, 0.55% zinc and 0.36% lead,
including the bottom 8m yielding 1.32% copper, 0.34 g/t gold, and
23.38 g/t silver from 901m depth. The focus of the 2023 drill
program was to test for potential extensions of known silver, gold
and copper-rich high-sulphidation epithermal mineralization as well
as search for a potential copper porphyry source to the epithermal
system. Results from the 2023 drill campaign have shown that
epithermal mineralization extends significantly beyond the depths
of previous and historical mining activities. Additionally, new
evidence from drill core includes porphyry-style, early-quartz
veins and breccia bearing fragments of quartz-stockwork porphyry
clasts, suggesting a potential connection to a deep copper porphyry
system. Drilling continues throughout the winter and results are
pending.
Ivanhoe Electric holds the Option to earn 75%
project interest from Brixton by incurring USD$40 million in
expenditures and making cash payments to Brixton in the amount of
USD$4.5 million.
2023 ESG Highlights
The implementation of a second fuel bladder
system on site and basing a plane at the Atlin Airstrip resulted in
99 fewer flights (approximately 19,657km) during 2023, eliminating
the need for 1365 45-gallon fuel drums. These measures have
significantly reduced our carbon footprint and the potential for
fuel spills while saving a combined total of $472,840 in flights
and metal fuel drum costs.
In partnership with the Tahltan and Taku River
Tlingit First Nations we are proud to report that in 2023 we
attained the greatest number of First Nation employees and
contractors on the project to date. On site, a total of 67% of
Brixton Metals personnel worked for First Nation contractors or
Joint Ventures. First Nations employees, contractors, and
management accounted for 22.14% of the seasonal workforce. Female
employees, contractors, and management accounted for 23.66% of the
seasonal and full-time workforce.
In September 2023, Brixton received its updated
multi-year exploration permit.
2024 Outlook
The global requirements for critical metals are
high, and with the energy transition in the early stages the
exceptional projected growth in the coming decades, especially for
copper, provides a tremendous opportunity for stakeholders. Having
successfully completed the oversubscribed $14.5 million financing
in November 2023, we are fully funded for the 2024 exploration
program.
Brixton is in the exploration and discovery
stage and we believe the Thorn Project has the potential to deliver
a world class deposit that would help meet the global demand for
critical metals. Drilling will continue to test for the high-grade
core of the porphyry system at the Camp Creek target while also
testing additional copper-gold targets to generate new
discoveries.
The Company will seek to monetize its non-core
assets, which include the Langis Ag-Co-Ni Project and Atlin
Goldfields Project, through Option/JV/Sale.
