Drills expand known mineralization; discover Outlaw West North of 60 Mining News – December 4, 2020
Gold mineralization encountered in THN20-176, a hole drilled in the Central Outlaw zone on Brixton's Thorn project in BC.
Brixton Metals Corp. Dec. 1 reported that 16 holes drilled at Thorn has expanded gold-silver mineralization at the Outlaw target on this project in the northwest corner of British Columbia's Golden Triangle.
The company says this year's drilling extended the Central Outlaw zone by 164 meters, for a new total of 600 meters of continuous near-surface gold-silver mineralization.
Highlights from the 2020 drilling at Central Outlaw includes 12.4 meters averaging 0.7 grams per metric ton gold and 52 g/t silver, or 1.4 g/t gold-equivalent from a depth of 69.6 meters in hole THN20-172; and 6.9 meters averaging 2.2 g/t gold and 8.4 g/t silver, or 2.3 g/t gold-equivalent from a depth of 89 meters in hole THN20-176.
The 2020 season was the first-time drilling was carried out at West Outlaw, a zone about 1,000 meters west of Central Outlaw.
Highlights from the discovery drilling at West Outlaw includes 1 meter averaging 8.7 g/t gold and 33.2 g/t silver, or 9.2 g/t gold-equivalent from a depth of 18 meters in hole THN20-169; and 1.9 meters averaging 3 g/t gold and 6.5 g/t silver, or 3.1 g/t gold-equivalent, from 41.1 meters in hole THN20-164.
"We are encouraged as drilling at Outlaw target continues to confirm the scale potential of this large gold anomaly," said Brixton Metals Chairman and CEO Gary Thompson. "Additionally, we are excited by the results at West Outlaw Zone, which returned higher grades. The Thorn project remains a district-scale project with multiple styles of mineralization and we expect to resume drilling at Outlaw, a sediment hosted gold deposit, in 2021 to continue growing the gold-silver trend, which remains open in several directions."
