[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Nov. 5, 2012 /CNW/ - Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB)\n (the \"Company\" or \"Brixton\") is pleased to announce the completion of the phase two, 2012 drill\n program and soil sampling program at its Thorn project, located in\n Northwest British Columbia.  A total of 1,738m were drilled in 13 NQ\n diamond drill holes.  The depth of the holes ranged from 45m to 338m.\n Additional drill results from holes THN12-81,82 and 84 - 87 as well as\n soil sample results are pending and shall be released upon receipt from\n the laboratory.\n\n\nHighlights \n\n\nTHN12-83 intersected 73.70m of 466.28g/t AgEq (284.15g/t Ag, 1.49g/t Au, 1.31% Pb and 1.78% Zn) within a broader\n interval of 150.50m of 314.59g/t AgEq (165.30g/t Ag, 1.37g/t Au, 0.92% Pb and 1.25% Zn)\n\n\nEstablished a newly interpreted true width zone of 100m, a depth of 300m\n and a minimum strike length of 130m\n\n\nRecent drilling has expanded the high-grade mineralization at the Oban\n breccia zone at depth to the south-southeast by 70m\n\n\nMr. Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO stated, \"Drilling continues to\n produce high-grade intercepts near surface and at depth at the Oban\n breccia zone, with hole THN12-83 returning impressive gold-silver\n results. The Oban zone appears to be developing into a zone with a much\n larger scale potential than previously thought and clearly remains open\n in several directions.\"\n\n\nTo view the drill location plan map click this link\n\n\nThe high grade mineralization occurs as phases of up to massive\n sulphides and sulphosalts as breccia matrix. Mineralization also occurs\n as disseminated, veinlet to crackle style breccia. The dominant\n minerals are pyrite, tetrahedrite, sulfosalts, sphalerite, galena and\n chalcopyrite. Within the breccia matrix these infill minerals form\n layered rims around breccia fragments. The nature of the mineralization\n appears to be sub-vertical to sub-horizontal and locally structurally\n controlled.\n\n\nHole THN12-83 was collared at the Oban breccia zone at an elevation of\n 894m and drilled at an azimuth of 170 degrees with a dip of -50 degrees\n to a depth of 209.70m.  Hole THN12-83 extended mineralization by\n approximately 70m in a south-southeast direction from any previously\n known mineralization and established a true thickness of approximately\n 100...
