Trapper Gold Project Program Reveals Encouraging Grades
VANCOUVER - Brixton Metals Corporation announced the Trapper Gold Target at its wholly owned Thorn Project. The project is located in Northwest British Columbia, 90km east of Juneau, Alaska.
“We’re pleased with the recent drill results which reveal encouraging gold grades and align well with our exploration model,” stated Vice President of Exploration, Christina Anstey. “These results strengthen our understanding of the mineralization in the area and support our strategy to unlock further potential through continued drilling.”
The geochemical footprint for the Trapper Gold Target was expanded in 2021 to 4km by 1.5km with a gold-in-soil geochemical signature that has a strong positive correlation to zinc and lead. The Trapper Target represents an intermediate-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in volcanic and intrusive rocks. The volcanics are Triassic Stuhini lapilli tuff, while the intrusive phase is a Cretaceous quartz diorite dated at 85.2Ma +- 1.2Ma. Visible gold has been identified in both drill core and surface outcrops across the Trapper Target area and rock grab samples have returned up to 152 g/t Au. Visible gold is recognized in several environments: within base metal veins (sphalerite-galena-pyrite-chalcopyrite), quartz-stockwork, sulphosalt-pyrite veinlets, and rarely disseminated gold in the diorite. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, Brixton drilled 3,107m, 9,119m and 6,625m, respectively. In 2011, forty-two drill holes were completed by a previous operator. The Trapper Target is royalty free.
