The program was designed to test for gold mineralization in a previously unexplored section that is underlain by favourable geology on the 280 square kilometre property.\n\nA total of 891 soils and 159 rock samples were collected during the phase one 2016 program at the Thorn project. The majority of samples were collected within a new area of the property which has not seen any previous exploration called the Chivas zone. Secondary areas sampled were the Outlaw, Aberlour, Trapper and Amarillo zones, where follow-up sampling was conducted based on encouraging gold results. Given the results further exploration work is planned.\n\nChairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, \"The Thorn project continues to show promise for both high grade gold and silver underground type targets and large scale open pit type targets. Geochemical surveys have shown to be an effective tool for identifying new mineralized zones. We are looking forward to further work at Thorn including geochemical surveys, geophysical surveys, geological mapping and drilling.\" \n\nThe Chivas zone is a broad gold-in-soil anomaly of approximately 2.5 kilometers long and 1.9 kilometers wide and remains open in several directions (see the map at the link below). The highest gold-in-soil concentration was obtained from the Chivas zone, assaying 6.39 g/t Au or 6,390 ppb. From the 891 soil samples collected, 227 samples assayed greater than 100 ppb Au, 76 samples assayed greater that 300 ppb Au, 20 samples assa...
