Brixton Metals Corporation announces North Target drill hole results from the Thorn Project in NW British Columbia, Canada. The maiden drill program intercepted a Mo-Cu porphyry system with surface mineralization, highlighting the discovery potential of the project. Multiple porphyry systems were intersected in an underexplored area with minimal historical exploration.

The North Target, located near Camp Creek, has been underexplored with limited previous drilling. The 2024 season saw a successful drill program, with the Wild Moly target revealing a molybdenum-copper porphyry system. The Main Gossan target also showed signs of a porphyry system, with widespread alteration and mineralization observed at the site.

Assay results from drilling at the North Target revealed significant intervals of molybdenum and copper mineralization. Drill holes THN24-312 and THN24-313 intersected mineralized quartz veins with potassic alteration, indicating the presence of a robust mineralized system. The true width of the mineralized intervals is yet to be determined.

Geophysical surveys at the Thorn Project identified conductive features correlated with zones of hydrothermal alteration. The survey highlighted the Wild Moly porphyry discovery and identified additional anomalies for further exploration. Geochronology sampling at the Main Gossan revealed multiple metallogenic epochs, showcasing the discovery potential of the area.

The successful integration of multiple datasets led to the discovery of molybdenum-copper porphyry systems at the Wild Moly and Main Gossan targets. With a vast area of porphyry-style alteration remaining unexplored, future work will focus on targeting other potential porphyry centers using geochemistry, hyperspectral data, and geophysics.
