Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF)has obtained positive initial assay results from its maiden drill programme at the Trapper Gold Target on the Thorn Project in British Columbia.
These results represent the first three of 15 shallow drill holes that were drilled in 2021 for a total of 3,107.34m. The 12 holes and pending assays shall be released as they are made available.
The wholly owned 2600 square km Thorn Project is located in Northwestern British Columbia/
Christina Anstey, Vice President of Exploration, said the Trapper Target is one of 14 Cu-Au-Ag exploration targets identified within the 80km mineralised trend at the Thorn Project.
Drill Highlights
- The Trapper Target is a deep-rooted multi-phase gold porphyry system
- Hole THN21-186 yielded 11.0m of 19.25 g/t gold from 50m within 139.0m of 2.14 g/t Au
- Including a high of 276 g/t Au over 0.46m and 160 g/t Au over 0.50m
- A broad zone of 187.5m of 1.6 g/t Au including the above sub-intervals
“The results from the first few holes into the Trapper Target are very encouraging. We believe that based on the geology, mineralisation and alteration, we are in an epithermal to gold-porphyry system with evidence for low-sulphidation and high-sulphidation overprints. We are excited to see some very high grades within broad, low-grade intervals,” Ms Anstey said.
“We are seeing precious and base-metal mineralisation within both dominant lithologies in the area, but we believe that the diorite is the source of this mineralisation.
Hole THN21-186 intercepted this lithology, and we are waiting on assays from several other holes that had broad intercepts of the diorite with associated visible gold.
“There is plenty of room for expansion of gold mineralisation in drilling given the large footprint of the geochemical signature of the target which has been expanded to a 4km strike by up to 1.5km in width. Trapper forms the southern 4km portion of a 11km NW-SE trending gold geochemical anomaly.”
