These are the remaining assays from the 2022 season on the Thorn Project. Brixton recognizes 14 large scale copper-gold targets at the wholly owned Thorn Project, located in Northwestern British Columbia, Canada. A total of 497 rock samples and 1,133 soil samples were collected in addition to the 18,122m drilled during the 2022 field season on the Thorn Project. Highlights 76 rock grab samples yielded greater than 1% copper with 25 samples yielding greater than 5% copper at the Metla Target 17 rock grab samples assayed greater than 10.0% Cu 5 rock grab samples assayed greater than 20.0% Cu Sample D200413 assayed 32.8% Cu and 10.9 g/t Au Visible gold observed in surface grab samples with 14 rock grab samples yielding greater than 10 g/t gold and 7 samples yielding greater than 25 g/t gold at the Metla Target Sample D132545 assayed 59.8 g/t Au, 17.9 g/t Ag, and 2.0% Cu Sample D200407 assayed 39.3 g/t Au, 7.4 g/t Ag, and 3.7% Cu Sample D200435 assayed 34.9 g/t Au, 1110.0 g/t Ag, and 16.7% Cu Eight holes drilled at the Metla Target, totalling 1481.66 meters. THN22-228 intersected 0.10% Cu over 33.40m, from 223.50m depth Including 0.90% Cu over 2.70m Rock grab sample D131593 assayed 152.0 g/t Au and 187.0 g/t Ag at the Trapper Gold Target Rock grab sample D200353 assayed 50.0 % Cu, 3.0 g/t Au, and 674 g/t Ag at the Val Target Chairman & CEO, Gary Thompson, stated, “We are excited to see the high volume of impressive copper, gold and silver grades from surface sampling at the Thorn Project. The past season was our most meaningful program on the Metla Target since its acquisition in 2020. We are looking forward to vectoring toward the porphyry centers on several Thorn Project targets in our fully funded 2023 program.” Figure 1.
