Brixton Metals Drills 15m of 2.26 g/t Gold at the Trapper Gold Target

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce additional drill results from the Trapper Gold Target this season. Drilling at the Trapper Target has been completed for the season. A total of 6272m was drilled at the Trapper Target from 30 holes. Assays are pending for the remaining 18 holes with visible gold having been identified in several of these remaining holes. The zone remains open for expansion.

Highlights

  • Drilling was successful extending mineralization by 36m to the south-southwest from previous drilling where it remains open

  • Hole THN25-337 returned 6.40m of 4.61 g/t gold from 27.10m depth

    • Including 1.50m of 14.30 g/t gold

  • Hole THN25-339 returned 15.00m of 2.26 g/t gold from 16.00m depth

    • Including 3.00m of 4.68 g/t gold from 22.00m depth

Chairman, CEO, Gary R. Thompson stated, “Mineralization at Trapper is structurally controlled and was subjected to post mineral displacement. Further drilling is required to expand on these faulted and dislocated blocks. Gold mineralization remains open to the northeast, southeast and north of the main area. Further structural interpretation is planned prior to the next drill campaign.

Discussion

The objective of holes THN25-337 and THN25-339 was to expand and infill the southern limit of mineralization from previous drilling. Both holes were drilled from the same drill pad with an azimuth of 10 degrees and 30 degrees with dips of -45 and -40 degrees to depths of 389m and 346m, respectively. Collars for THN25-337 and THN25-339 were located 36m south-southwest from the collar for hole THN22-239 (Figure 1).

The gold mineralization in THN25-337 and THN25-339 is hosted within Triassic lapilli tuff volcanic, intruded by a Cretaceous quartz diorite and a feldspar porphyry dike of unknown age. Gold is associated with vein assemblages of pyrite-sphalerite-galena as seen in Figure 2. While mineralization is hosted within all three rock types, higher grade favours the contacts between these units. Low grade gold mineralization occurs between these reported intervals.

Hole THN25-336 was collared 78m east of pad for 337/339 and was drilled at azimuth of 2 degrees with a dip of -60 to a depth of 220m to test for extension; however, hole THN25-336 returned no significant results.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Quality assurance and quality control protocols for drill core sampling was developed by Brixton. Core samples were mostly taken at 1.5m intervals. High-grade intervals were taken at 0.5 to 1m intervals. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp) and certified reference materials were inserted at a combined rate of 15%. Core samples were cut in half, bagged, zip-tied and sent directly to ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon or Langley, British Columbia depending on available lab capacity. ALS Minerals Laboratories is registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 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 and Zn and 48 additional elements were analyzed using four acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Over limits for gold were analyzed using fire assay and gravimetric finish. 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 can be viewed at the Company’s website.
