May 8, 2014 – Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce the results of its annual general and special meeting (“Annual Meeting”) held on May 6, 2014 in Vancouver, British Columbia and to provide a project update. Gary R. Thompson, Cale Moodie, George Salamis, Jim Defer and Don Poirier were elected to the Company’s board of directors. The Company’s shareholders also re-appointed KPMG, Chartered Accountants as auditors for the coming year and re-approved the Company’s stock option plan.
At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s proposal to authorize the board of directors to consolidate the common shares of the Company at a ratio of up to ten (10) pre-consolidated common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share (the “Consolidation”). The Company currently holds $2.1 million in cash as of May 07, 2014. Due to market conditions short term shareholders have put extreme selling pressure on the Company’s stock, in spite of continued positive news flow from the Company. As a result of this overselling of the Company’s stock and now very low share price, management and the board of directors of the Company believe that a Consolidation is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. A consolidation will allow the Company flexibility to complete future financings as the board deems necessary, however the Company is not seeking to raise capital at this time.
The Consolidation will not change a shareholder’s proportionate ownership in the Company or the rights of holders of Common Shares. Each Common Share outstanding after the Consolidation will be entitled to one vote and will be fully paid and non-assessable. As at the date of the Annual Meeting, the Company had 114,908,757 common shares issued and outstanding. After giving effect to the proposed Consolidation, there will be approximately 11,490,875 common shares issued and outstanding. The Company will also be cancelling all outstanding stock options and will not be issuing new options until deemed appropriate by the board of directors.
The Consolidation remains subject to TSX-V approval. Further details regarding the Consolidation are contained in the Company’s information circular dated March 27, 2014 (the “Information Circular”) relating to the Annual Meeting. A copy of the Information Circular is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
Brixton Metals’ 2014 Exploration Plan

- Drill test the large gold in soils anomaly at the Outlaw zone
- Drill test for extension to high-grade Ag-Au-Cu veins at the Glenfiddich zone
- Collect core samples for specific gravity measurements
