Brixton Metals Reports New Gold Drill Results at Trapper Target
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) is excited to share the recent outcomes of its drilling efforts at the Trapper Gold Target, part of its wholly owned Thorn Project. The Thorn Project is positioned in Northwest British Columbia, near Juneau, Alaska.
Key Drill Findings
Recently completed drilling has highlighted several significant intercepts that promise to elevate the potential of the Trapper Target:
- Nine visible gold occurrences noted across three boreholes.
- Drill hole THN24-300 recorded an impressive 254.00m of 0.48 g/t Au from 6.00m depth, including:
- 171.00m of 0.63 g/t Au
- 41.00m of 1.08 g/t Au
- 6.00m of 4.19 g/t Au, alongside 22.07 g/t Ag
- Drill hole THN24-302 presented 141.00m of 0.35 g/t Au from 9.00m depth, which included:
- 30.00m of 0.70 g/t Au
- 10.00m of 0.92 g/t Au
- Drill hole THN24-303 yielded 216.76m of 0.25 g/t Au from 154.00m depth, encapsulating:
- 23.00m of 1.24 g/t Au
- 11.00m of 2.34 g/t Au
- 3.90m of 5.58 g/t Au
Christina Anstey, Vice President of Exploration, emphasized the significance of these findings, stating, "The results at the Trapper Gold Target underline a strong potential for substantial gold mineralization. The data from hole THN24-303 opens up new avenues for further step-out drilling north of the principal target area, and we eagerly anticipate expanding on these promising results."
Overview of Drilling Campaign
The 2024 drilling campaign at the Trapper Gold Target encompassed 2,745.60m across 11 HQ-sized diamond drill holes. This report covers three holes totaling 967.00m, strategically designed to investigate the extent and continuity of mineralization along the Lawless Fault zone. The combination of infill and step-out drilling was utilized to trace previously identified zones of mineralization, with future assays expected as the drilling campaign progresses.
Detailed Analysis of Individual Drill Holes
Each drilled hole has been meticulously planned with precise technical considerations:
Hole THN24-300 was angled at 3 degrees and dipped at -50 degrees, reaching a total depth of 260m. As an infill hole, it aimed to provide continuity within a previously established layout of drills and recorded a strong gold mineralization over broad intervals.
In contrast, THN24-302 was positioned with a steeper inclination above the Lawless Fault, successfully intercepting significant intervals of gold from the surface level.
The standout performance came from hole THN24-303, drilling 450m north-west of holes 300 and 302, targeting mineralization at deeper levels that had previously been observed. Significant intervals of gold mineralization were identified, showcasing the potential of the drilling site.
Looking Ahead: Future Drilling Plans
With the mineralization at Trapper being structurally controlled by the Lawless Fault, the company recognizes the opportunity for additional gold potential across multiple parallel structures yet to be explored. Future drilling aims to locate more gold-bearing zones beneath the expansive geochemical anomaly identified in prior campaigns.
About the Trapper Gold Target
A significant geochemical footprint has been defined at the Trapper Target, leading to a robust exploration framework characterized by its intermediate-sulphidation epithermal system. The geological dynamics, including the relationship between volcanic and intrusive rock types, continue to unveil exciting opportunities for discovery in this area.
Quality Assurance Procedures
All drill core sampling adheres to strict quality assurance and control protocols, with the company employing regulated sample collection methods to ensure accurate assay results. Core sample batches are regularly checked and certified by third-party laboratories before results are officially released.
