[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Jan. 5, 2012 /CNW/ - Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB)\n (the \"Company\" or \"Brixton\") is pleased to announce assay results from the balance of the 2011\n drilling program at its Thorn gold-silver-copper project located in\n northwestern British Columbia, Canada. A total of 21 holes for 5,682m\n were drilled during 2011 and all analytical results have now been\n received.\n\n\nHighlights: \n\n\nOban Breccia Zone hole THN11-60 intersected from surface 95.08m of 904 g/t AgEq (1.71 g/t Au, 628.30 g/t Ag, 0.12% Cu, 3.31% Pb and 2.39% Zn).\n\n\nIncluding 25.56m of 1,679 g/t AgEq (2.28 g/t Au, 1,300 g/t Ag, 0.22% Cu, 5.34% Pb and 2.51% Zn) and 9.25m of 3,646 g/t AgEq (3.04 g/t Au, 2,984 g/t Ag, 0.53% Cu, 11.65% Pb and 3.42% Zn).\n\n\nOban Breccia Zone hole THN11-57 intersected 37.72m of 252 g/t AgEq (2.08 g/t Au, 60.8 g/t Ag, 0.46% Cu, 0.25% Pb and 0.55% Zn) including 7.80m of 717 g/t AgEq (6.13 g/t Au, 197.0 g/t Ag, 1.38% Cu, 0.49% Pb and 0.38% Zn).\n\n\nMr. Gary R. Thompson, Chairman & CEO stated, \"We are extremely pleased\n to have discovered substantial near surface, high-grade mineralization\n at the largely untested Oban Breccia Zone, which is located in the\n heart of a 6 km mineralized corridor.  Hole 60 significantly increases\n the potential of the property. This high-grade zone remains open at\n depth and on the eastern strike extensions.\"  Mr. Thompson further\n added, \"We believe that the Thorn project, subject to further drilling,\n has the potential to host a high unit value polymetallic mineral\n deposit.\"\n\n\nOBAN BRECCIA ZONE\n\n\nHole THN11-60 was collared as the most easterly hole within the Oban\n drilling area at an elevation of 929m. It was drilled at an azimuth of\n 220 degrees with a dip of -70 degrees and to a total depth of 243.00m.\n THN11-60 intersected 95.08m of 1.71 g/t Au, 628 g/t Ag, 0.12% Cu, 3.31%\n Pb and 2.39% Zn or 904 g/t AgEq from 6.00m down hole. This included\n 9.25m of 3.04 g/t Au, 2,984 g/t Ag, 0.53% Cu, 11.65% Pb and 3.42% Zn or\n 3,646 g/t AgEq from 55.40m down hole. The entire 237.00m length of the\n hole was mineralized.  The lower segment of THN11-60 intersected\n 141.92m of 53 g/t Ag, 0.16 g/t Au, 0.20% Pb and 0.47% Zn or 83 g/t AgEq\n from 101.08m down hole.\n\n\nThe mineralization is hosted by Cretaceous Oban Breccia, interprete...
