Target Highlights

  • Historically the Langis Mine produced 0.36M pounds of cobalt and 10.4Moz silver
  • Historically the Hudson Bay Mine produced 0.186M pounds of cobalt and 6.4Moz of silver
  • Assays from 4 samples in 2017 returned 10 to 16 percent cobalt and 2 to 18 percent silver as disclosed in Brixton’s News Release dated August 17, 2017
  • Past production was focused on high grade silver veins and the high-cobalt low-silver veins that were encountered underground and were not mined in many areas of the Langis mine
  • The project has excellent local infrastructure; year round road access, close proximity to power, railway, gas‐pipeline, small scale mills, a refinery and assay lab
  • Drilling will focus on testing both high grade cobalt and silver targets

Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, “We are excited to get drilling on our Langis and Hudson Bay projects. We understand that the underground miners were chasing 100 oz/t silver veins and when they encountered the high-grade cobalt veins with less than 5 oz/t silver they generally moved on in search of high-grade silver veins. We see significant upside potential in the area for two vein types, high-grade cobalt with low silver and high-grade cobalt with high silver tenor.”
