Brixton Metals Corp. (TSX-V: BBB | OTCQB: BBBXF) has kicked off the 2022 exploration program at its flagship Thorn Project in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. The fully funded 2022 program will consist of up to 20,000m of drilling, starting with the company’s Camp Creek porphyry target and Trapper gold target, with the possibility of drilling at the Metla copper-gold target and the Outlaw gold-silver target.
VP of Exploration Christina Anstey stated, “We are excited to have begun drilling now, which is the earliest start of a season yet. Two of the high priority targets include the Camp Creek copper dominant porphyry target and the Trapper gold target. Additional exploration work is planned to drill ready other copper-gold targets on the massive Thorn Project.“
The objective at the company’s Camp Creek porphyry target, where previous drill results have shown copper, gold, silver, and molybdenum grades increasing with depth, is to tag the copper-rich core of the porphyry system. A drill rig has already started drilling at this target, with a wedged hole starting at about 930m in hole THN21–184 for a 100m of new core.
A second drill is expected to start drilling on the Trapper gold target in early June. Following the 2020 acquisition of the Trapper claims and royalties, Brixton’s first drill program in 2021 successfully highlighted the gold endowment of the target. Standout results from Trapper in 2021 include hole THN21-186, yielding 187.50m of 1.60 g/t Au including 139.00m of 2.14 g/t Au, including 11.5m of 19.25 g/t Au. The objective at Trapper this year is to expand the gold zone on trend and at depth.
The 2022 program will also include extensive geochemistry, geological mapping, and potentially further geophysical surveys to define drill targets for the 2022 or 2023 drilling at Metla, a copper-gold porphyry anomaly within the company’s Thorn Project. Metla is located about 15km to the southeast from the Trapper area and the claims were acquired in 2020 from Stuhini Exploration.
Finally, at Brixton’s Central Outlaw Target, 3km to the southeast of the Camp Creek Target, the company will drill 4-6 widely spaced drill holes to seek continuity of gold mineralization between the Central and East Zones and east extension.
