Brixton Metals Samples New Vein Grading 195 g/t Gold, 4.11% Copper and 147 g/t Silver At Its Thorn Project

Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQX: BBBXF) (the "Company" or "Brixton") is pleased to announce that it has identified a new high-grade gold-copper-silver vein at the Golden Valley Target. This new target is located 17 kilometers south-southeast of its Trapper Gold Target and 24 kilometers northwest from the Golden Bear past producing gold mine, at its wholly owned Thorn Project in Northwest British Columbia.

Highlights

  • All four rock grabs from a northeast trending massive pyrite-silica outcrop from the newly identified Golden Valley Target returned high grade gold for a strike of 90 meters and up to 2 meters wide:

    • Sample D132341: 195 g/t Gold, 147 g/t Silver, 4.11% Copper
    • Sample D132340: 78.7 g/t Gold, 73.5 g/t Silver, 0.19% Copper
    • Sample D132338: 78.0 g/t Gold, 170 g/t Silver
    • Sample D132339: 17.9 g/t Gold, 69.3 g/t Silver

  • Additional samples taken ~400 meters South of the main outcrop also returned strong results:

    • Sample D132342: 32.3 g/t Gold, 34.3 g/t Silver
    • Sample D132337: 23.0 g/t Gold, 58.7 g/t Silver and 0.54% Copper

Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO, stated, "We are encouraged to find new mineralized zones each and every season at the Thorn Project and this year the Golden Valley Vein was another great find. The plan was to follow up on two 2023 rock grab samples collected by a Brixton geologist that returned over 50 g/t gold. We are delighted that all four samples collected this year returned between 17.9 and 195 g/t gold. The Golden Valley Vein is a low elevation target, and follow-up work is planned for early next season in preparation for drilling."

Discussion

The objective of prospecting in this area was to follow up on 2023 rock grab sample results that returned 52.5 and 51.7 g/t gold from outcrop of a massive pyrite-silica vein. The northeast trending siliceous outcrop hosts pyrite, chalcopyrite and fine-grained sulphosalts. Four rock grab samples D132338 to D132341 from the Golden Valley Vein returned between 17.9 and 195 g/t gold (Table 1). The outcrops of the Golden Valley Vein appear rusty-red and up to 2 meters wide with an apparent strike of about 90 meters, where it was lost under surficial cover material. Located about 400 meters south from the 195 g/t gold sample (D132341), rock grab samples D132336/D132337 were collected about 100 meters apart along a northeast trending quartz-pyrite vein which is 0.3 to 1 meter wide and appears to strike intermittently for about 500 meters. Rock grab samples D132342 and D132343 were collected about 20 meters apart along a northeast trending discontinuous pyrite-quartz vein near a northeast trending creek.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Rock grab samples are selective by nature and may not be representative of the entire zone. Samples were bagged, zip-tied and sent directly to the ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon or Langley, British Columbia, depending on available lab capacity. ALS Minerals Laboratories is registered to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17025:2017 accreditations for laboratory procedures. Samples were analyzed at ALS Laboratory Facilities in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for gold by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish, whereas Ag, Pb, Cu, Zn, and 48 additional elements were analyzed using four-acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Over-limit gold samples were analyzed using fire assay and gravimetric finish. Over-limit silver and copper samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) when concentrations exceeded 100 ppm for silver and 10,000 ppm for copper. The standards, certified reference materials, were acquired from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd., of Langley, British Columbia, and the standards inserted varied depending on the type and abundance of mineralization visually observed in the primary sample. Blank material used consisted of non-mineralized siliceous landscaping rock. A copy of the QAQC protocols is available on the Company's website.

Project Highlights:

  • Camp Creek Corridor: An 8-kilometer-long northeast-southwest trending corridor that hosts multiple underexplored porphyry-style prospects.
  • Trapper Target: High-grade gold intercepts demonstrate multiple vein systems with near-term resource potential.
  • Catalyst Target: First-ever drilling confirms copper-gold porphyry mineralization, advancing the exploration pipeline.
  • Tempest Target: Initial drilling reveals a multiphase porphyry system with copper-gold-silver-molybdenum mineralization and strong hydrothermal alteration.

Langis and Hudson Bay Projects (Ontario, Canada)

The Langis and Hudson Bay projects are primary silver-cobalt-nickel brownfield opportunities located in the historic Cobalt Mining District of Ontario, which has a regional production history of over 600 million ounces of silver. Both are past-producing, high-grade mines.

Since 2016, Brixton Metals has actively explored these sites, with drilling at Langis yielding over 220 intervals exceeding 100 g/t silver, including high-grade intercepts such as 15,436 g/t silver and 1.98 percent cobalt. The projects benefit from year-round road access and proximity to existing infrastructure, including a railway and the Electra Battery Metals cobalt refinery 10 km away.

Project Highlights:

  • Historic Mineralization: High-grade silver and cobalt intercepts in historical drilling.
  • Strategic Opportunity: Winter drill program to unlock additional shareholder value.
  • Exploration Upside: Property hosts brownfield exploration targets with known mineralization.
  • Critical Minerals Exposure: Adds battery metals to Brixton Metals’ diversified portfolio.

Hog Heaven Project (Montana, USA)

Located in western Montana, Hog Heaven is a historical silver-gold-copper property with significant porphyry potential. Hog Heaven is currently under an earn-in agreement where Ivanhoe Electric can earn up to 75 percent interest through staged cash payments and exploration expenditures. This arrangement provides funding for exploration while retaining Brixton Metals’ upside exposure.

The property contains multiple mineralized zones, including historical drill targets with notable copper, gold, and silver intercepts. Ivanhoe’s initial drilling has confirmed mineralization and highlighted the project’s potential for large-scale porphyry systems.

  • Mineralization: Historical drilling confirms copper, gold, and silver mineralization across multiple targets.
  • Exploration Focus: Targets include porphyry-style and epithermal systems.

Atlin Goldfields Project (British Columbia, Canada)

The Atlin Goldfields Project is located in northwestern British Columbia, an area historically known for placer gold production, offering strong potential for hard-rock gold discoveries. Brixton Metals has optioned the project to Eldorado Gold, which is funding exploration activities under a structured earn-in agreement.

Exploration at Atlin focused on identifying orogenic and intrusion-related gold targets, with early work confirming continuity of mineralization in key areas. The property benefits from proximity to historic mining infrastructure and geology conducive to high-grade gold zones, providing an attractive exploration and growth opportunity. Brixton has commenced drilling at the project and is targeting to complete initial drill testing of newly identified, structurally-focused targets in the Yellowjacket area.

Project Highlights:

  • Option Agreement: Eldorado Gold can earn 100 percent interest through staged exploration and cash payments: C$1.1 million cash and $5.35 million in work over five years. At the end of the option period, Eldorado has the right to exercise the option to acquire 100 percent ownership for a final cash payment of C$7 million.
  • Historic Production: Located near areas of historic placer gold production, indicating strong geological potential.
  • Exploration Targets: Focused on orogenic and intrusion-related gold deposits with high-grade potential.
  • Fully Funded Program: Partner-funded exploration reduces capital requirements while advancing project knowledge.
