Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB) has obtained high-grade surface rock sample results from the Metla, Trapper, Val and East Targets and drill assay results from the Metla Target. These are the remaining assays from the 2022 season on the Thorn Project in British Columbia.
The company has recognised 14 large scale copper-gold targets at the wholly owned Thorn Project, located in north-western British Columbia.
A total of 497 rock samples and 1,133 soil samples were collected in addition to the 18,122m drilled during the 2022 field season on the Thorn Project.

- 17 rock grab samples assayed greater than 10.0% Cu
- Five rock grab samples assayed greater than 20.0% Cu
- Sample D200413 assayed 32.8% Cu and 10.9g/t Au

“We are excited to see the high volume of impressive copper, gold and silver grades from surface sampling at the Thorn Project,” Chairman and CEO, Gary Thompson, said.
“The past season was our most meaningful programme on the Metla Target since its acquisition in 2020. We are looking forward to vectoring toward the porphyry centres on several Thorn Project targets in our fully funded 2023 programme.”
