Brixton Metals (TSXV BBB / WKN A114WV) has released new results from the Trapper gold target, part of the vast Thorn Project, reporting high gold grades over a thick 15-meter section. A total of 6,272 meters of drilling was completed in 30 holes at the Trapper target this season, with assay results for 18 holes still pending. Visible gold was found in several of these holes!
Brixton Metals extends mineralization at southern margin
The objective of drill holes THN25-337 and THN25-339 was to extend the south-southwest edge of the known mineralization while also filling gaps. Both holes were drilled from the same drill pad, approximately 36 meters south-southwest of the THN22-239 drill collar. The results now show an extension of gold mineralization in this direction, with the zone remaining open.
Notable intercepts from THN25-339 include a strong 15.00 meters at 2.26 g/t gold from only 16.00 meters depth, including 3.00 meters at 4.68 g/t gold from 22.00 meters. Drill hole THN25-337 also returned 6.40 meters at 4.61 g/t gold from 27.10 meters, including 1.50 meters at 14.30 g/t gold! Additional shorter intervals with elevated grades were encountered in both holes. (The lengths reported are drill lengths; true thicknesses have not yet been determined.)
According to the company, gold mineralization at the Trapper target is structurally controlled and offset by later disturbances. As a result, individual higher-grade blocks may be offset. An in-depth structural interpretation is planned prior to the next program. Brixton Metals sees expansion potential to the northeast, southeast, and north of the main area.
Geology and Drilling Details of the Trapper Gold Target
Mineralization in THN25-337 and THN25-339 occurs in Triassic volcanic lapilli tuffs cut by a Cretaceous quartz diorite and a feldspar porphyry dike. Gold is associated with vein assemblages of pyrite, sphalerite, and galena. Higher grades tend to be concentrated at the contact zones between the units; low-grade gold mineralization was also observed between the reported intercepts.
Overall, the results underscore the complexity of the structure in the target area: the combination of structural control and offset blocks can lead to locally highly variable grades and thicknesses. The key question now is whether the recently confirmed extension can be converted into contiguous, economically relevant volumes – a question that further drilling will answer.
Next Steps for Brixton Metals
This year’s program at the Trapper Gold Target comprised 6,272 meters spread over 30 drill holes. Laboratory results are still pending for 18 drill holes; visible gold was documented in several cases. The pending analyses will provide indications as to whether the observed structures and grades continue in the area and at depth. In parallel, Brixton Metals plans to conduct a detailed structural reassessment to better identify displaced and disturbed blocks and define future drill targets more precisely.
In any case, the new intersections show that mineralization can be pursued further along the southern edge of the Trapper target. The combination of near-surface grades (from approximately 16-27 meters depth) and the observed structural complexity supports further targeted drilling.
One thing is clear: Brixton Metals sees additional expansion potential at the Trapper gold target and is focusing its next steps on understanding the structure and systematic follow-up drilling. The data available today provides the basis on which the geological interpretation can be refined and planning for the next campaign prepared.
