[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Feb. 22, 2012 /CNW/ - Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB)\n (the \"Company\" or \"Brixton\") announces the completion of its independent summary report. The\n report was submitted by Equity Exploration Consultants Ltd for the 2011\n Geological, Geochemical and Drilling program on the Thorn\n Ag-Au-Cu-Pb-Zn project located in northwestern British Columbia,\n Canada.  The assessment report was filed with the Ministry of Energy,\n Mines and Petroleum Resources for the Government of British Columbia.\n\n\nSummary of Equity Exploration Report: \n\n\nThe 2011 diamond drill program on the Thorn property consisted of 21\n drill holes for a total of 5682.37m of core. This drilling, directed\n primarily at high-sulphidation vein targets and secondarily at the Oban\n breccia zone:\n\n\nIntersected substantially higher grades near-surface (95.08 m grading\n 628 g/t Ag, 1.71 g/t Au, 3.31% Pb and 2.39% Zn in THN11-60) in the Oban\n breccia zone than had been previously drilled\n\nExpanded the mineralized zone at Talisker from 200 m to 500 m strike\n length, with the best 2011 intersection grading 1.41 g/t Au, 19 g/t Ag,\n 0.25% Cu over 49.78 m (THN11-51)\n\nConfirmed the presence of unconformity-related mineralization in one of\n the four holes which tested the contact between the Thorn stock and the\n nonconformably overlying Windy Table volcanic rocks.  THN11-56\n intersected 0.9 m grading 12.35 g/t Au, 138 g/t Ag and 0.49% Cu within\n intensely silicified Thorn Stock starting less than 2 m below the\n unconformity\n\nShowed increasing Au and Cu grades at depth within the Oban Breccia,\n exemplified by the intersection of 18.58 m grading 4.1 g/t Au, 0.93% Cu\n and 103 g/t Ag in THN11-57, starting at a vertical depth of 201 metres\n below surface\n\nConfirmed the presence of a broad fault/vein zone at the Lagavulin Vein,\n including 1.75 m grading 7.14 g/t Au, 245 g/t Ag and 0.35% Cu in\n THN11-54\n\nIntersected narrow Cu-rich veins at depth corresponding to the MP Vein,\n including 0.74 m grading 4.14% Cu, 384 g/t Ag and 1.22 g/t Au in\n THN11-45\n\n\nIn 2011, a total of 104 rock samples, 159 soil samples, and 2 silt\n samples were collected from the Thorn Property. Mapping and rock\n sampling were conducted in various locations within the Thorn Stock,\n illuminating the structural setting of the veins a...
