Brixton Metals Drills 10m of 3.61 g/t Au within 52m of 0.94 g/t Au at The Outlaw Sediment Hosted Gold Zone at its Thorn Project

ProjectVANCOUVER, BC--(October 31, 2016)  Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX VENTURE: BBB) (the "Company" or "Brixton") is pleased to announce partial drilling results from its 2016 phase 2 exploration program at its 100 percent owned Thorn project. Brixton completed nine NQ sized core drill holes for a total of 1,645 metres at the Outlaw and Aberlour Zones. The Company drilled five holes at the Outlaw Zone totalling 1,190 metres and four holes at the Aberlour Zone totalling 455 metres. The Company also collected 1453 soil and 88 rock samples throughout the property and completed 15.5 kilometres of ground IP geophysics survey at the Chivas Zone.

 

Highlights

Two gold zones were identified in hole 132:

18 metres of 1.61 g/t Au, 12.30 g/t Ag from surface; and

52.00 metres of 0.94 g/t Au, 5.95 g/t Ag including 10.00 metres of 3.61 g/t Au and 23.75 g/t Ag from 78.00 metres depth.

18 metres of 1.61 g/t Au, 12.30 g/t Ag from surface; and

52.00 metres of 0.94 g/t Au, 5.95 g/t Ag including 10.00 metres of 3.61 g/t Au and 23.75 g/t Ag from 78.00 metres depth.

 

Hole 133 intersected 6.00 metres of 3.41 g/t Au and 12.50 g/t Ag from surface within 13.00 metres of 1.73 g/t Au, 7.3 g/t Ag.

Mineralization is dominated by pyrrhotite/pyrite hosted by siltstone to greywacke.

Confirmed extension of sediment-hosted gold mineralization at the Outlaw zone which was discovered in 2014 when hole 128 intersected 59.65 metres of 1.15 g/t Au and 5.64 g/t.

 

The gold-in-soil anomaly at the Outlaw zone strike is estimated at approximately 3.5 kilometres.

Results for holes 134 - 139, soil and rock geochemistry and IP geophysics are pending.

Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary Thompson stated, "The focus at Thorn this season was on near surface gold mineralization as high-grade underground and large scale open pit type targets. We continue to show strong results and have been impressed with the high rate of discovery at Thorn."
