[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce that it has started its maiden drill program at the Cirque Copper Porphyry Target which is located 3km east from the Camp Creek Porphyry discovery on its wholly owned Thorn Project. Highlights of the Cirque Copper Target Cirque is a multi-kilometer copper porphyry target on the Thorn Project Surface exposures of copper mineralization (vein-hosted and disseminated chalcopyrite) have been identified over a 1km by 2km area. Rock and soil geochemistry contain elevated copper, molybdenum and MDRU’s Porphyry Index (MPIx) anomalies The target is supported by a large, near-surface magnetic and coincident conductivity geophysical anomaly VP of Exploration, Christina Anstey stated, “We are thrilled to launch Brixton’s first drill campaign on the Cirque Porphyry Target. Given that porphyry deposits often form in clusters, the proximity of favorable mineralized intrusions to the known Camp Creek Porphyry makes this area particularly promising. The significant intervals of chalcopyrite mineralization observed on the surface, along with coincident geophysical signatures, is very encouraging.” Figure 1.

About the Cirque Copper Target Cirque is a copper porphyry target located 3 kilometers east of the Camp Creek Porphyry Target and immediately north of the Outlaw Sediment-hosted Gold Target. The target is defined by a 2km by 1km northwest trending surface copper anomaly with a large portion of the target area covered by glacial alluvium material masking the underlying geology. Late Cretaceous Windy Table volcanic rocks and associated Windy Table Suite Intrusions are ...
