Brixton Metals (TSX-V: BBB; WKN: A114WV) has given the green light for the next round of exploration at its wholly-owned Langis silver project in Ontario’s historic Cobalt Camp, just 500 kilometres north of Toronto. The 2026 Phase 1 campaign is fully funded and comprises of approximately 15,000 metres of shallow, near-surface drilling. The focus is on expanding and extending known high-grade silver zones as well as new target areas along structural trends. The project area has infrastructure with year-round road access, power, rail connection and a refinery – a significant advantage for the work ahead.
Brixton Metals: Objectives of the 2026 Campaign
Brixton Metals intends to address several objectives in parallel with the programme. Firstly, the continuity and extent of the mineralised structures will be investigated – both laterally along strike and down dip. To this end, definition drilling in existing zones will be combined with exploratory drilling in areas that haven’t been drill tested to date. Secondly, the focus is on collecting enough data for an initial, independent resource estimate: closer drill spacing in high-grade areas will refine the geological modelling and enable a robust classification of the deposit.
High-Grade Silver Hits and Exploration Potential in the Cobalt Camp
Since 2016, Brixton Metals has drilled more than 40,315 metres at Langis in five campaigns. To date, 220 intervals with over 100 g/t silver have been documented; in the Shaft 3 area, there are 15 sections with more than 1,000 g/t silver (including three above 5,000 g/t silver) and in the Shaft 6 area, there are ten sections with over 1,000 g/t silver (including five above 5,000 g/t silver).
Examples from previous drilling include 11 m at 2,592 g/t silver (Ag) (including 4 m at 7,018 g/t Ag) in the Shaft 3 zone, 17 m at 970 g/t Ag (including 11 m at 1,289 g/t Ag) also in Shaft 3, 27 m at 348 g/t Ag (including 9 m at 1,037 g/t Ag) in the central area, and 17.6 m at 1,251 g/t Ag (including 1 m at 15,436 g/t Ag) as well as 71 m with 121 g/t Ag (including 4 m with 1,186 g/t Ag) in the Shaft 6 zone. In addition, there is a rock sample from the Shaft 7 waste rock with up to 182,065 g/t Ag – not a representative average, but an indication of locally very high-grade silver mineralization.
In addition to silver, gold (Au) has also been observed repeatedly in the vicinity of Shaft 6, including 4.15 m with 4.90 g/t Au (including 0.22 m with 74 g/t Au) and 0.5 m with 3.88 g/t Au from previous drilling. Historically, gold has not really been systematically sampled in parts of the Cobalt Camp – a factor that will receive additional attention in the current campaign.
Historically, Langis is one of the most significant locations in the Cobalt Camp: according to archive data, the former mine produced 10.4 million ounces of silver at an average head grade of 777.5 g/t Ag; documented silver recoveries ranged between 88% and 98%. Over the decades, the camp has produced well over 500 million ounces of silver.
Next Steps by Brixton Metals at the Langis Silver Project
For the 2026 season, Brixton Metals plans to extend known high-grade zones laterally and to test new targets within established structural trends. The combination of extension and infill drilling aims to increase resource quality and establish a basis for an initial resource estimate.
According to the company, work to date has focused primarily on brownfield zones in and around historic mine workings. At the same time, large areas with favourable geology remain untested, including structural trends away from the old workings, hanging wall and footwall potential, and obvious gaps in near-surface data. Against this backdrop, the campaign that has now been launched aims to clarify the scalability of the mineralised corridors and provide a basis for strategic decisions for the next project phases.
Conclusion: With the start of its fully funded 15,000-metre programme, Brixton Metals is continuing its work at Langis in the historic Cobalt Camp – with clear priorities: expanding known mineralisation, consolidating data and laying the foundation for an initial resource estimate. The combination of high-grade historical hits, existing infrastructure and additional test drilling in areas that have received little attention to date, as well as the still extremely high silver prices, makes Langis one of the company’s most interesting projects in 2026 in our view.
