Over the winter months Brixton compiled 154 assessment reports to cover its recently acquired mineral claims. In addition, the Company engaged Fathom Geophysics to acquire and process property wide ASTER and SENTINEL-2 satellite data for alteration minerals. Highlights of Winter Data Mining Acquired new assays for 10,524 soils, 3,240 rock and 486 silts from historic assessment reports with the 2,300 square kilometer claim block The combination of this newly acquired data resulted in 4 new, high priority exploration areas for gold and copper which will be a significant emphasis for 2020 Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, “We are excited to begin the exploration season at the giant Thorn Project. We will continue to advance exploration on the Camp Creek blind porphyry target and the Outlaw sediment host gold target in preparation for drilling later this summer. The newly identified target areas combined with the known targets support our district scale mining camp in the making thesis.” Camp Creek Porphyry Target The plan is to conduct 9 line-km of Induced Polarization (IP) geophysics over the Camp Creek blind porphyry target including downhole IP of hole 150 (829m depth) and hole 162 (554m depth), where the 2019 drilling encountered porphyry style mineralization. Hole 150 and 162 are located about one kilometer apart as plotted in the cross-section in Figure 1 below. Additional exploration work is planned as follows: a ground radiometric survey over the Camp Creek target analysis using four acid geochemistry analysis on select historically drilled core in the Camp Creek area collecting new rock samples along Camp Creek at 50m stations and along La Jaune Creek at 100m Future drill targets shall be determined upon integration of the above new results. Outlaw Sediment Hosted Gold Target In preparation for drilling at the Outlaw West area the Company is planning to collect additional infill soil at 50m by 50m stations and additional rock samples around the showings where 2018 rock grab samples returned up to 39 g/t Au.
