[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling for the 2023 exploration program at its flagship Thorn Project located along the northwestern extent of the Golden Triangle trend in British Columbia. The program is fully funded and was planned through the joint technical committee between the Company and our 19.9% strategic investor, BHP. The 2023 program will focus on drilling the Camp Creek Copper Porphyry Target and the Trapper Gold Target. The two targets form an 8km mineralization trend. Additionally, plans are to drill-ready high priority copper targets on the Thorn Project through geochemical and geophysical surveys. VP of Exploration Christina Anstey stated, “We are excited to have an early start to our exploration season. Our first priority will be focused on the Camp Creek copper dominant porphyry target followed by the Trapper Gold Target later in the campaign. We are keen to expand on the known high-grade mineralization and test interpreted extents at both targets throughout the season.” Figure 1. General Thorn Project Location Map and Copper Geochemistry. Camp Creek Cu-Au-Ag-Mo Porphyry Target The 2023 drill program at the Camp Creek porphyry target encompasses two principal objectives: the foremost is to intersect the high-grade part of this extensive mineralized system, and secondly, to further expand mineralization laterally with large step-out holes. Drilling is currently underway with two drills set-up at the Camp Creek target. Brixton plans to drill 8 to 10 deep holes targeting the copper dominant porphyry this season. The minimum footprint of this target is 1km by 1km with potential for up to 2km strike. Drill hole target depths at Camp Creek are a minimum of 1200m. Figure 2.

Results from the 2022 drill program continued to demonstrate the potential for broad intercepts of nearly 1000m of copper mineralization, which remains open in all directions. Figure 3.
