Brixton Metals Expands the OBAN Zone and Drills up to 1,275 g/t Silver or 1,325 g/t AgEq

28.08.2013  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug 28, 2013) - Brixton Metals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BBB) (the "Company" or "Brixton") is pleased to announce drill results from its phase one exploration program at its 100 percent owned Thorn project. Brixton completed 28 drill holes for a total of 4,617 metres of NQ sized core diamond drilling within and near the Oban diatreme-breccia zone.

Oban Zone 2013 Drill Results Highlights

  • THN13-89 was collared approximately 60 metres in a westerly direction from hole 60. THN13-89 returned 1.00 metre of 1,060.00 g/t Ag or 1167.46 g/t AgEq within 4.00 metres of 415.50 g/t Ag or 482.85 g/t AgEq within a broader interval of 113.50 metres of 58.65 g/t Ag or 81.30 g/t AgEq from 38.20 metres depth.
  • Near surface silver rich mineralization at the Oban zone was extended by 70 metres in the northerly direction from hole 60. THN13-101 returned 1.31 metres of 1,275.00 g/t Ag or 1,325.00 g/t AgEq from 12.19 metres depth within 17.13 metres of 165.53 g/t Ag or 180.35 g/t AgEq. THN13-102 from the same pad returned 5.00 metres of 288.52 g/t Ag or 407.69 g/t AgEq including 2.00 metres or 598.50 g/t Ag or 759.52 g/t AgEq.
  • The Oban zone remains open at depth and strike in several directions. The 2013 drilling has confirmed that the high grade mineralization in not restricted to the Oban breccia and is also hosted by the Thorn stock.
  • A new sphalerite-galena zone was discovered in THN13-93 and THN13-103 which are about 30 metres from each other. This zone is located 90 metres north of hole 60. THN13-103 intersected 1.28 metres of 156.00 g/t Ag or 650.99 AgEq at about 140 metres depth within 4.28 metres of 66.30 g/t Ag or 269.89 AgEq. The extent of this zone remains to be tested.
  • A new pyrite-tetrahedrite zone discovered in THN13-95 at about 130 metres depth which returned 5.00 metres of 227.33 g/t AgEq including 2.33 metres of 136.74 g/t Ag or 467.34 g/t AgEq. This zone is located 200 metres southwest from hole 60. This new zone includes hole THN13-112 which returned 3.60 metres of 317.36 g/t AgEq within 5.25 metres of 225.27 g/t AgEq. The extent of this zone remains to be tested.

Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary Thompson stated "This recent drill program continues to demonstrate the high grade (high margin) potential of the Thorn project. Additional drilling is required to further expand these high grade zones and to test the many high grade silver-gold targets that exist on the Thorn Property" Mr. Thompson further added "Our goal is to conduct follow up exploration before the end of the 2013 season".

Core holes THN13-88, 89 and 90 were collared from the same pad (Click this link to view a map of drill hole locations: http://brixtonmetals.com/thorn-2013-drill-hole-locations-map/) located approximately 40 metres from THN12-84 as a southwest extension test. Hole THN13-90 was collared from the same pad as holes 88 and 89 and was drilled to test the continuity of mineralization between holes 83 and 84 and to test the easterly limits of mineralization in this area. THN13-89 was drilled parallel to holes 83-84 and returned 1.00 metre of 1,060.00 g/t Ag or 1,167.46 g/t AgEq within 4.00 metres of 415.50 g/t Ag or 482.85 g/t AgEq and within a broader interval of 113.50 metres of 58.65 g/t Ag or 81.30 g/t AgEq from 38.20 metres depth. Mineralization consists of breccia matrix infill of pyrite-sphalertite-galena-tetrahedrite and sulphosalts.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Mr. Sorin Posescu, P.Geo., VP Geology prepared a QAQC protocol for the Company and oversaw sampling procedures. Ms. Caroline Vallat, P.Geo., from GeoSpark Consulting Inc. conducted an independent QAQC review which returned strong accuracy of the analytical results and confidence in the certificates overall is good throughout. Sealed samples were shipped by the Company geologists to ALS Minerals preparation lab in Whitehorse, Yukon. ALS Minerals laboratories are registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 accreditations for laboratory procedures. Blank, duplicate and certified reference materials were inserted into the sample stream. Analysis for gold was done by Fire Assay with AA finish. All other elements were analyzed by Aqua Regia Digest with ICP-AES finish. Silver over-limits were analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Base metal over-limits were analyzed with Aqua Regia Digest and AA finish. A copy of the QAQC protocols can be viewed at the Company's website.

Silver equivalent (AgEq) values were calculated using $1,088 per ounce of gold, $19.62 per ounce of silver, $3.20 per pound for copper $0.80 per pound of lead, $0.80 per pound of zinc, all with 100% metal recoveries assumed.

AgEq = Ag g/t + (Au g/t x 34.98/0.63) + (Pb% x 17.64/0.63) + (Zn% x 17.64/0.63) + (Cu% x 70.55/0.63)

About Brixton Metals and its Thorn Project

Brixton Metals is an exploration company focused on the advancement of high-grade precious metal assets to feasibility. The primary focus at the Thorn project is high-grade silver-gold-lead-zinc-bearing diatreme-breccia zones and high-grade gold-silver-copper veins. Secondary targets include porphyry, skarn, replacement, and bulk tonnage gold targets. The Thorn project covers a Jurassic to Cretaceous volcanic-porphyry complex that shares similarities with other high sulphidation deposits around the world such as Lepanto-FSE in the Philippines, Penasquito in Mexico and El Indio in Chile. The 27,000-hectare Thorn Project is located in the Sutlahine River area of Northwestern British Columbia, Canada, approximately 40 km from Chieftain's Tulsequah Chief mine development.
