About Brixton Metals Corporation
Brixton Metals is a Canadian exploration company focused on the advancement of its gold and silver projects toward feasibility.
The Langis project is located 500 kilometres north of Toronto, Canada near Lake Timiskaming. The high-grade silver mineralization occurs as steeply-dipping veins within any of the three main rock types: Archean volcanics, Coleman Member sediments and Nipissing diabase. The Cobalt camp has historically produced over 500 million ounces of silver. Brixton wholly owns two past producing mines in the Cobalt-silver camp, the Langis and Hudson Bay mines. The Langis mine produced 10.4Moz Ag at 25 oz/t Ag and the Hudson Bay mine produced 6.4 Moz Ag at 123 oz/t Ag.
The wholly owned Thorn Project is located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada, approximately 105 km ENE from Juneau, AK. The Thorn project hosts a district scale Triassic to Cretaceous volcano-plutonic complex with many styles of mineralization related to porphyry and epithermal environments. Targets include sediment hosted Au-Ag, Ag-Au-Pb-Zn diatreme-breccia, Au-Ag-Cu veins; and volcanic hosted structurally controlled Au-Ag. Brixton has established a maiden inferred resource of 21.5Moz AgEq from 7.4 Mt at 89.75 g/t AgEq based on limited drilling.
