Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB) has received positive 2022 drilling results from the Camp Creek Cu-Au-Ag-Mo Porphyry Target on its wholly owned Thorn Project located in Northwestern British Columbia, Canada.
The Thorn Project is located within the Taku River Tlingit and Tahltan First Nation’s traditional territory.
Highlights
- Hole THN22-213 yielded 709.00m of 0.34% CuEq from 534m depth; Including 484.00m of 0.41% CuEq, Including 362.00m of 0.44% CuEq, Including 102.15m of 0.61% CuEq, Including 64.15m of 0.65% CuEq
- Hole THN22-231 yielded 778.08m of 0.30% CuEq from 519.5m depth, Including 531.00m of 0.36% CuEq, Including 102.00m of 0.46% CuEq
- This copper dominant porphyry mineralization remains wide open, including at depth.
“We are excited to see the potential scale emerge of the Camp Creek Porphyry Target. The distance between these two reported holes is 420m,” Chairman and CEO, Gary Thompson, said.
“Drill hole 213 was collared 235m west-southwest of the collars for 201-184 and drill hole 231 was collared 280m north from the collars for 201-184.
“We have yet to process all of the 2022 data and convene our maiden technical committee meeting with BHP but one of the 2023 exploration objectives may be to identify the high-grade copper core of the Camp Creek porphyry and to test the limits of the mineralized system.”
The Camp Creek acid-sulphate alteration and geochemical expression further to the east-northeast is covered and unconformably overlain by a late rhyolite flowdome complex, which suggests the porphyry mineralization may continue under this volcanic cover providing for a one km by two km porphyry target area.
“We are encouraged by the large-scale potential of the Camp Creek Copper Porphyry Target. We collected a molybdenite sample for age dating (pending) from hole 150 which was drilled to 829m in the Oban Diatreme Breccia where considerable mineralized (chalcopyrite-molybdenite) porphyry clasts were identified,” Vice President of Exploration, Christina Anstey, said.
“This is important for a few reasons: one is that hole 150 is collared 1000m east from hole 213 and we have yet to make the connection genetically or physically from the mineralized diatreme to the porphyry; and two, if we can make this link through age dating then it really opens up the eastern potential of the target which has not been drilled at depth.”
