Brixton Metals Defines New Exploration Targets at Thorn Through Geochemical Sampling
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Brixton Metals Corporation has announced significant findings from its regional prospecting soil and rock sampling program at the wholly owned Thorn Project in northwest British Columbia. The company also provided a comprehensive corporate and project update, revealing promising new exploration targets with substantial copper and silver mineralization.
Geochemical Sampling Reveals Promising Mineralization
During extensive field work conducted within the Camp Creek Corridor, Brixton Metals collected 770 soil samples and 195 rock samples across multiple target zones. This systematic geochemical analysis has led to the identification of several new exploration targets that show significant mineralization potential.
At the Cirque East Target, geologists discovered porphyry-style mineralization hosted within a monzonite intrusive unit. Laboratory assays from this area returned impressive results, including up to 2.16% copper and 39 grams per tonne silver, indicating substantial mineral potential.
At the 95th South Target, the company identified high-grade silver mineralization within veins. Samples from this location yielded exceptional results, including up to 642 g/t silver, 1.47% copper, 3.56% lead, and 1.97% zinc, demonstrating the rich mineral diversity of the area.
Camp Creek Corridor Geological Context
The Camp Creek Corridor represents a northwest-trending geological zone that hosts multiple centers of porphyry-style mineralization. This corridor is interpreted to be perpendicular to the Camp Creek Fault, which geologists believe served as a conduit for porphyry intrusions into both the Stuhini volcanic rocks and the granitic units of the Thorn Stock.
Key mineralized systems within this corridor include:
- The Camp Creek Cu-Mo-Au porphyry system
- The recently identified Catalyst Cu-Au porphyry
- The Tempest Cu-Au porphyry system
2025 Drilling Program Results
During the 2025 exploration season at the Thorn Project, Brixton Metals conducted substantial drilling activities across multiple targets. The company completed:
- 3,223 meters of drilling at Camp Creek
- 6,272 meters at Trapper
- 2,670 meters at Catalyst
- 601 meters at Tempest
This news release presents the remaining drillhole results for the Thorn Project at both the Camp Creek and Trapper Targets, providing investors and stakeholders with comprehensive data about the project's progress.
Shareholder Approval and Corporate Developments
At Brixton Metals' Annual General and Special Meeting held on February 4th, 2026, shareholders approved several important corporate measures. Most notably, they authorized a ten-for-one share consolidation, subject to final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange. This consolidation will result in a new post-consolidation share count of approximately 71.3 million shares outstanding.
The company believes that several factors position it well for future growth, including:
- The current strong metals market conditions
- A tight share float structure
- All four of its gold, silver, and copper projects scheduled for drilling in 2026
Executive Commentary and Future Outlook
Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO of Brixton Metals, expressed enthusiasm about the company's progress. "The definition of new exploration targets through geochemical sampling with boots on the ground has been an effective approach at the Thorn Project as we continue to identify new areas of mineralization," stated Thompson.
Thompson emphasized that 2026 represents a particularly exciting year for the company, noting that "this year will be the first time ever that all four of our projects will be drilled in the same year." The company's diverse project portfolio includes ongoing drilling at the Langis Silver Project, exploration at the Hog Heaven copper-gold porphyry Project through an agreement with Ivanhoe Electric, and planned drilling at the Atlin Goldfields Project under an option agreement with Eldorado Gold.
Assay results from the Langis Silver Project are anticipated in the coming weeks and months, providing additional data points for investors and analysts monitoring the company's progress.
