Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, “We are excited to be adding the Langis property to the Company’s portfolio and we believe it will be an accretive transaction with significant upside potential. The Langis project represents a low cost entry into a silver district that has not seen much in the way of modern exploration techniques. New discovery potential is high with a strong possibility to generate mineral resources from past work and additional exploration.” Mr. Thompson further stated, “Brixton will continue to seek accretive precious metal opportunities with the goal of being well positioned for a sector recovery and to develop shareholder value.”
Langis Project Highlights
- Past production from 1908 to 1989 of 10.4M ounces of silver from 379,479 tonnes or 418,305 short tons, having a recovery grade of approximately 25 oz/t or 777.60 g/t silver.
- Silver recovery estimates range from 88% to 98% based on historical records.
- Excellent local infrastructure; year round road access, close proximity to power, railway, gas-pipeline, small scale mills, a refinery and assay lab.
- The most important mineral is native silver followed by cobaltite, niccolite, ruby silver, argentite, bismuth and chalcopyrite.
- Drilling next to historical mine site intersected a new zone prior to the silver price collapse in 1990: 2,115.04 g/t over 9.4 metres and 1,262.80 g/t Ag over 3.9 metres.
- Low annual holding and drilling costs.

The Langis project to be acquired including other lands in the Cobalt Camp is 2,520 hectare in size. The project is located 500 km north of Toronto, Canada. The high-grade silver mineralization occurs as steeply-dipping veins within any of the three main rock types; Archean volcanics, Coleman Member sediments and Nipissing diabase. The Cobalt camp has produced over 420 million ounces historically of silver with some reported assays reaching 255,146 g/t Ag or 9,000 oz/t Ag over 0.36 metres. The unmined Langis zone intersected by drilling: 2,115.04 g/t over 9.4 metres and 1,262.80 g/t Ag over 3.9 metres. This area will be the focus for follow up exploration work. According to historical Langis reports, the zone was traced to over 1,000 metres along strike and a vertical extent of 260 metres with true thickness being unknown.
The Langis project does not currently contain any mineral resources or mineral reserves.
As part of the Company’s due diligence, Brixton’s management met with the Timiskaming First Nations and plans to continue its early engagement with a goal towards establishing a respectful relationship and a memorandum of understanding.
