Brixton Metals' Recent Drill Findings at the Trapper Target
VANCOUVER — Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) has announced promising drill results from the Trapper Gold Target. The findings, part of their ongoing 2025 exploration season, reveal high-grade gold intervals, some showcasing visible gold. A total of 6,272 meters was drilled across 30 holes this season, with assays from the remaining 10 holes pending.
Highlights of the Drilling Program
Several noteworthy intervals have emerged from the latest drilling efforts, offering significant insights into the mineralization at Trapper:
Key Drill Results
- Hole THN25-360 encountered 18.50 meters grading 3.39 g/t gold, alongside 7.45 g/t silver and 0.57% zinc from a depth of 90.50 meters. Notably, this includes an impressive 3.00 meters yielding 15.69 g/t gold, 31.57 g/t silver, and 2.33% zinc from a depth of 96.00 meters.
- In hole THN25-361, 23.50 meters returned a grade of 3.33 g/t gold from a depth of 92.00 meters, including a high-grade interval of 0.50 meters which yielded 112.00 g/t gold.
- Hole THN25-363 revealed 25.50 meters of 3.16 g/t gold from 116.00 meters deep, with several higher-grade intervals intersected, including 2.65 meters of 7.38 g/t gold.
Insights from Brixton's Leadership
Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO, expressed excitement over the recent drill outcomes, emphasizing the promising potential of the Trapper Gold Target. He pointed out a previously reported intercept of 22.15 meters at 4.44 g/t gold, including a significant 1.50-meter interval grading 57.20 g/t gold. These results affirm the credibility of the mineralization present at the site.
Future Exploration at Trapper
The Trapper Gold Target continues to present opportunities for expansion in multiple directions, instilling confidence in Brixton's exploration strategy. With assays for the remaining drill holes forthcoming, the company believes further results could unveil even more potential.
Details of the Drill Program
The recently drilled holes were executed from a single location and aimed to assess the true width of the mineralized zone effectively. Each hole was positioned to intersect the mineralized trend perpendicularly, which is crucial for evaluating the zone's geometry.
The mineralization at Trapper is primarily associated with Triassic lapilli tuff, intruded by later Cretaceous quartz diorite and feldspar porphyry dikes. Not only is gold present, but there are significant occurrences of silver, zinc, lead, and copper related to the gold mineralization.
Quality Control Measures
Brixton has established stringent quality assurance and quality control protocols for the drilling operations. Sampling was primarily conducted at 1.5-meter intervals; however, selective high-grade zones were sampled at closer intervals. The samples underwent thorough analysis at accredited facilities, employing fire assay techniques and four-acid digestion for multi-element detection.
