Hole 244 cuts 253m of 1.4 g/t gold at emerging Thorn target North of 60 Mining News – January 13, 2023
Visible gold cut at a depth of 67 meters in hole THN22-256, which cut 138 meters of 1.2 g/t gold at the Trapper target on Brixton's Thorn project in Northern British Columbia.
Brixton Metals Corp. Jan. 12 reported additional wide bulk tonnage gold intercepts with impressive high-grade subsections from the final 2022 holes drilled at the Trapper target on the company's Thorn project in Northern British Columbia.
A 2,863-square-kilometer (1,105 square miles) land package at the northern corner of BC's famed Golden Triangle, the Thorn project hosts both epithermal gold targets such as Trapper and large-scale porphyry copper-gold-silver-molybdenum targets such as Camp Creek about five miles (eight kilometers) to the northwest.
Earlier this week, Brixton announced results from nine holes drilled at Trapper; highlights included:
• 304.5 meters averaging 1.19 grams per metric ton gold from a depth of four meters in hole THN22-237, including 14 meters averaging 10.7 g/t gold.
• 398.3 meters averaging 0.85 g/t gold from a depth of eight meters in hole THN22-243, including 6.6 meters averaging 20.71 g/t gold.
• 199 meters averaging 1.12 g/t gold from a depth of 18 meters in hole THN22-248, including three meters averaging 17.15 g/t gold.

The final five holes from 2022 drilling at Trapper returned similar results; highlights include:
• 253 meters averaging 1.4 g/t gold from a depth of 42 meters in hole THN22-244, including 12.3 meters averaging 16.18 g/t gold.
• 232 meters averaging 0.95 g/t gold from a depth of nine meters in hole THN22-250, including 13 meters averaging 6.05 g/t gold.
• 138 meters averaging 1.2 g/t gold from a depth of five meters in hole THN22-256, including 17.6 meters averaging 4.09 g/t gold.
"We are delighted with these final drill results from the 2022 program at the Trapper Gold Target, which confirms a significant new gold discovery," said Brixton Metals Vice President of Exploration Christina Anstey.
Overall, the 2022 program at Thorn included 18,200 meters of drilling in 58 holes at the Thorn, Camp Creek, Outlaw gold, and Metla copper-gold targets this year.
"We look forward to reporting on the additional results from the Camp Creek and Metla Targets from the 2022 season," Anstey added.
