Brixton Metals (TSX-V: BBB; WKN A423P0) has released the first drill results from its ongoing 2026 exploration program at its Langis silver project in Ontario. And CEO Gary Thompson’s company hit some extremely high-grade silver mineralization!
The former high-grade Langis mine is located approximately 500 kilometers north of Toronto and has good infrastructure, including year-round road access, power and rail connections. The new drilling campaign marks another important step for Brixton Metals in expanding and consolidating the project’s known high-grade silver zones and testing additional mineralized areas along key structures.
According to Brixton Metals, 6226 meters have been completed in 32 drill holes to date. Assay results from nine drill holes are available for this announcement. The focus is on two drill holes from the Shaft 6 area, which returned more than ten meters of continuous silver mineralization with very high-grade intervals.
Brixton Metals: 14.35 m at 708.7 g/t and 14.45 m at 721.4 g/t silver
The most important highlights come from drill holes LM-26-296 and LM-26-301. Brixton reports a wide section of 14.35 meters with a strong 708.7 g/t silver from a depth of 116.00 meters for LM-26-296. Within this interval, there is also a very high-grade section of 0.5 meters with 15,522 g/t silver (!) from 118.00 meters.
Drill hole LM-26-301 also delivered a strong 14.45 meters with 721.4 g/t silver from a depth of 109.55 meters. This included 1.75 meters with 5,791.43 g/t silver from 114.50 meters! According to Brixton, the two drill locations are approximately 40 meters apart, which the company considers an indication of the continuity of mineralization in this target area.
Chairman and CEO Gary R. Thompson stated that the results demonstrate that Langis continues to deliver strong silver grades at relatively shallow depths and that the mineralization remains open in multiple directions. Current drilling therefore continues to focus on the Shaft 6 area, but with the goal of developing new trends beyond the historic underground areas.
2026 Focus: Expansion, Definition, and New Trends South of Shaft 6
According to Brixton Metals, the first drill holes of the season were designed to test silver mineralization south of the Shaft 6 area. Previous programs had identified silver in this region, primarily in vertical, dilate zones and shear veins, partly in the form of native silver. Several drill holes in the news release have again intersected this mineralization.
In addition to the two top holes, Brixton cites other select silver intervals. For example, drill hole LM-26-294 intersected 4.25 meters at 135.27 g/t silver (including 1.00 meter at 546.00 g/t) and 10.65 meters at 61.15 g/t silver. LM-26-295 returned 26.00 meters grading 54.01 g/t silver, including sections of 4.20 meters grading 176.24 g/t and 1.00 metre grading 461.50 g/t. And in LM-26-296, in addition to the already mentioned 14.35-meters interval, a section of 1.25 meters with 660.00 g/t silver was reported.
Other drill holes also show silver, albeit at lower levels: for example, LM-26-299 with 5.00 meters at 72.16 g/t, or LM-26-300 with 5.00 meters at 39.94 g/t.
Mineralogy: Sulfosalts vs. Native Silver and Plans for Tailings Investigation
Brixton also describes differences in the type of silver mineralization between the two top holes. In LM-26-296, the silver is bound in sulfosalts, with cobalt and nickel arsenide minerals also observed. In LM-26-301, however, silver occurs predominantly as visible native silver. The company classifies these differences as a possible indication of different mineralization phases and/or local remobilization of silver.
In addition to the drilling campaign, Brixton Metals announces that it also intends to evaluate and quantify silver grades in the tailings on private patents at the Langis site. Samples taken by previous owners have yielded values between 1.5 and 4.0 ounces of silver per ton. Sonic drilling and metallurgical work are planned for the investigation as soon as spring arrives.
With these initial results from the 2026 drilling program, Brixton confirms the partially very high-grade nature of the mineralization at Langis. The ongoing work in the Shaft 6 area is intended to consolidate the known mineralization and at the same time define new trends outside the historic underground areas – while at the same time looking at the tailings as an additional source. In our view, this marks a spectacular start to the 2026 exploration year, during which all four of the company’s projects will be drilled.
