Vancouver, British Columbia, July 18, 2012 – Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB) (the “Company” or “Brixton“) is pleased to announce the completion of the phase one, 2012 drill program at its polymetallic Thorn Ag, Au, Pb, Zn, Cu project located in Northwestern British Columbia.
Exploration Activity
Exploration drilling was focused at the porphyry related Oban Breccia Zone. The phase one, 2012 program included 13 NQ size core holes ranging in depth from 30m to 153m, for a total of 1,151m. The objectives of this program were to confirm the results from hole THN11-60 which returned 95.08m of 904g/t AgEq (1.71g/t Au, 628.30g/t Ag, 3.31% Pb and 2.39% Zn, 0.12% Cu) and to obtain further information regarding the mineralization, geometry, true width and extent potential.
All core holes from the phase one, 2012 program encountered mineralization described as phases of up to semi-massive sulphides and sulphosalts as breccia matrix infill mixed between fragments of disseminated and veinlet to crackle breccia style mineralization. The dominant minerals are pyrite, tetrahedrite, sulphosalt, sphalerite with lesser galena and chalcopyrite. Within the breccia matrix infill these minerals form layered rims around breccia fragments and are variably mixed. Assay results are pending and shall be released upon receipt within the coming weeks.
