Brixton Metals Corp (TSXV: BBB | OTCQB: BBBXF) has commenced a 70 line-km Alpha IP Geophysical Survey and surface sampling-mapping campaign at its wholly owned Langis Project located in the Cobalt Camp of Ontario, Canada.
According to the company, the 2020-2021 fall/winter drill programme results identified very encouraging broad zones of silver, cobalt, and nickel mineralization.
“Over the past year the company has spent significant time remodelling all results and has identified three domains of interest. The domains include cobalt-nickel associated with the Archean basement rock, gold within the Algoman Syenite and native silver+-cobalt found within most lithologies.
“The results from the IP survey, mapping and geochemical sampling will allow us to refine the drill targets for the 2022 fall drill programme,” said Gary R. Thompson, Brixton’s chairman and CEO.
Historically there has been limited surface mapping and sampling on the Langis property due to the lack of outcrop exposure and a thick sequence of glaciolacustrine Pleistocene overburden which covers most of the property, particularly to the east. A small-scale reconnaissance programme to map exposed outcrops and collect rock samples is planned for the early spring once preliminary results from the Alpha IP survey have been received.
Multiple mineralization trends
Brixton Metals has identified three distinct mineralization trends at Langis from historical work, as well as more recent drilling:
- Silver mineralization is primarily hosted in vertical, dilatant zones and shear veins within the Huronian sediments
- High-grade cobalt mineralization is present in broad envelopes hosted largely within the Keewatin Basalt, often at or below the contact of Huronian sediments
- A broad nickel anomaly appears to be present at depth below the cobalt mineralization and proximal to the Huronian-Archean unconformity
Previous exploration and historic mining at Langis have largely been focused on silver production; however, the potential exists for significant cobalt-nickel mineralization in the area.
Additionally, the property remains largely underexplored for its gold potential, particularly within the Archean Algoman syenite to the northwest of the mine property, which is part of the regionally prospective intrusive complex within the Abitibi Greenstone belt, known for its economic gold endowment.
“The potential for multiple generations of mineralization on the Langis Project is very encouraging,” said Christina Anstey, vice president of exploration.
“In addition to the geophysical survey, mapping and surface sampling, the company plans to conduct re-assaying of select high nickel bearing material for platinum group metals which has not been done previously. We are looking forward to testing these new gold, cobalt-nickel and silver rich domains through drilling.”
