[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce that it has kicked off the exploration program at its flagship Thorn Project located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia. The fully-funded 2022 program will consist of up to 20,000 metres of drilling, focussing on the Camp Creek Porphyry Target and the Trapper Gold Target, with the possibility of drilling at the Metla Copper-Gold Target and the Outlaw Gold-Silver Target. VP of Exploration Christina Anstey stated, \"We are excited to have begun drilling now, which is the earliest start of a season yet. Two of the high priority targets include the Camp Creek copper dominant porphyry target and the Trapper Gold Target. Additional exploration work is planned to drill ready other copper-gold targets on the massive Thorn Project.\" Camp Creek Cu-Au-Ag-Mo Porphyry Target Brixton Metals made significant progress in 2021 on the blind Camp Creek Porphyry Target. Drill holes 162, 181,183 and 184 show copper, gold, silver and molybdenum grades, as well as porphyry index values (MPIx), increasing with depth. The bottom of holes 183 and 184 are approximately 286m apart and both ended in mineralization. One drill rig has begun drilling at the Camp Creek Porphyry Target, with a wedged hole starting at about 930m in THN21-184 for a 1000m of new core. Last season, THN21-184 drilled 821m of porphyry style copper dominant mineralization where the bottom 14m of the hole ended in 0.68% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au, 6.53 g/t Ag, and 508.57 g/t Mo. The mineralization in the lower part of the hole was chalcopyrite greater than pyrite. Also, a 1.85m interval from 1175m depth returned 89.3 g/t Au. The objective at Camp Creek is to tag the copper-rich core of the porphyry system. The Trapper Gold Target A second drill is expected to start drilling on the Trapper Gold Target in early June. Following the 2020 acquisition of the Trapper claims and royalties, 2021 was Brixton’s first drill program which successfully highlighted the gold endowment of the target. Standout results from the Trapper Target in 2021 include hole THN21-186, yielding 187.50m of 1.60 g/t Au including 139.00m of 2.14 g/t Au, including 11.5m of 19.25 g/t Au. The Trapper Target consists of volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the...
