Brixton Metals Commences Drilling at Its Thorn Copper-Gold Project
Brixton Metals Corporation has initiated drilling at its Thorn copper-gold project in Northwest British Columbia, Canada. The 2,945-square-kilometer project is approximately 90 kilometers northeast of Juneau, Alaska. The company plans to expand near-surface gold mineralization within the Camp Creek Corridor and at the Trapper Gold Target, as well as drill test new, near-surface copper porphyry mineralization at the Catalyst Target.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2025 exploration plan consists of 8,000 to 10,000 meters of drilling across several target areas, with a focus on gold and copper mineralization.
- The company aims to expand near-surface gold mineralization within the Camp Creek Corridor and at the Trapper Gold Target, with a significant drill intercept in 2024 yielding broad intervals of gold mineralization.
- Drilling will also test new, near-surface copper porphyry mineralization at the Catalyst Target, with rock samples returning up to 0.56% Cu, 0.11% Mo, 2.87 g/t Au, and 30.0 g/t Ag.
- The company has granted an aggregate of 4,300,000 Incentive Stock Options to officers, directors, employees, and consultants at a per-share price of $0.10 for a period of ten years from the date of grant.
