Val
Val is a copper exploration target that was identified and explored in the 80’s, two kilometers south of the Triassic-Jurassic Red Line, 28 km east of the Trapper Target. This prospect is underlain by Triassic granodiorite, intruded by felsic Sloko Group dykes. Only two small rock and soil sampling programs have been conducted at this location, and prior to Brixton’s acquisition in 2022 no work had been documented since 1987. Rock sampling in 1980 identified a bornite-chalcocite bearing 20cm quartz vein, assaying 35% Cu and 228 g/t Ag. Follow-up sampling by Brixton in 2022 confirmed the presence of the vein with assays up to 40.7% Cu, and a confirmed strike length of over 250 meters. Two copper-bearing, sub-parallel veins were also identified 50m and 100m northwest of the main vein with values of >50% Cu and 45.4% Cu respectively.
North
The North Target covers the region 6 to 12 km north of Brixton’s Thorn Camp, northwest of the Sutlahine River. The area is underlain by Jurassic aged volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Labegre Group, intruded by Cretaceous and Eocene quartz feldspar porphyry dykes and sills. Anomalous Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn has been sampled across this large area, associated with skarn, porphyry, polymetallic veining and sedimentary-hosted mineralization settings. A 20cm chip sample collected in 2004 assayed 13.35 g/t Au and 324 g/t Ag. The North target area has not yet been drill tested.
East
The East Target is located 25km east of Metla and 17km north-northeast of the Golden Bear Mine. The geology is dominated by Middle to Late Triassic quartz diorite and granodiorite intrusive rocks, with windows of Stuhini Group volcanic rocks. There are two main copper showings on either side of the Samotua River.
The Bing showing is on the east side of the river and includes widespread copper and molybdenum mineralization, as disseminations and within veining stockworks. Historic drilling did not target the area hosting the most anomalous samples to the north, where a cluster of 10 samples have grades greater than 2% copper over a 500m x 500m area. Surface rock samples collected in 2022 returned up to 5.79% Cu. Over 200 soil samples were collected at Bing in 2022, and results were promising with 16 samples greater than 1000 ppm Cu and highly anomalous values of 9,610 ppm Cu and 7,290ppm Cu collected at the south end of the zone.
The Icy showing is to the west and includes a 2km x 800m gossan with associated copper soil anomaly. Copper values in rocks reach up to 3.62% Cu. Rio Tinto Only minimal work has been conducted on this target since RioTinto.
Outlaw
The Outlaw Zone is composed of sediment-hosted (siltstone-greywacke-argillite-carbonates) Au-Ag related to pyrite and pyrrhotite veins, and stratiform disseminated to semi-massive pyrite and pyrrhotite. Mineralized horizons may be related to the Jurassic-aged felsic dykes, suggesting the mineralization is intrusion-related. The gold-in-soil anomaly is over 4 kilometers long. Drill testing has shown that this gold horizon occurs at depth through the central part of the Outlaw Target, over a 600m strike length. Hole THN14-128, drilled in the Central Outlaw area, returned 59.65m of 1.15 g/t Au. Surface rocks samples have returned up to 22.9 g/t Au from East Outlaw and 68.8 g/t Au from West Outlaw.
West
The West target is primarily a copper target, located 5km west-southwest of the Camp Creek Target. Geology at the West Target is comprised of Triassic volcanic rocks of the Stuhini Group, and Jurassic argillite and conglomerate of the Laberge Group. These Mesozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks are cut by an Eocene granodiorite (54.2 +/- 0.8Ma) and alkali feldspar granite batholith of the Sloko-Hyder Plutonic suite, some of which has been locally metamorphosed and migmatites are observed. Mineralization is vein-hosted and disseminated, with porphyry-style quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite veins in the Eocene intrusive and Stuhini volcanic rocks. A float sample collected in 2020 assayed 4.27% Cu.
