[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce the 2023 results from the Atlin Goldfields diamond drill program. The project is located near Atlin, BC and within the Taku River Tlingit First Nation’s traditional territory. Highlights Hole YJ-23-003 yielded 159.80m of 0.33 g/t Au from 55.00m depth Including 35.00m of 0.77 g/t Au Including 19.00m of 1.34 g/t Au Including 0.45m of 38.1 g/t Au Visible gold occurrence noted at 139.35 meters Vice President of Exploration, Christina Anstey, stated, “We are excited to see visible high-grade gold hosted within a broad lower grade halo at the Yellowjacket Target within the one hole drilled in 2023. The road accessible Atlin Goldfields Project offers great potential for intrusion related gold and orogenic gold deposits.” The 2023 exploration program at the Atlin Goldfields Project was limited to one drill hole collared at the Yellowjacket Target (Figure 1). Drill hole YJ-23-003 was 349.91m in length, drilling across the Pine Creek fault system and testing what appears to be several sub-parallel, gold-bearing quartz vein sets hosted by listwanitic altered ultramafic rocks, based on the historic drilling. Previous operators constrained drill exploration to 50 meters depth, with only limited drilling over 150 meters below the surface at the Yellowjacket Target. The secondary aim of the 2023 drill program was to evaluate the potential for the Pine Creek Fault System to host mineralization beyond the previously tested depths. The Yellowjacket drill hole YJ-23-003 intersected several listwanite and ultramafic to mafic rock occurrences that hosted quartz-veining with gold mineralization. Mineralization was broadly observed from 55.00 to 214.8 meters grading 0.33 g/t Au and included five shorter intervals with grades over 1 g/t Au (Table 1; Figure 2). Visible gold was observed at 139.35m and assayed 38.1 g/t Au over 0.45m, within a 19.00m interval of 1.34 g/t Au (Figure 3). Figure 1.
