Brixton Metals Acquires Infill Claims to its Thorn Project Near the Past Producing
Golden Bear Mine
Several Gold-In-Soil Anomalies Identified on Mine Trend
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, September 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Brixton Metals
Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce
it shall acquire one hundred percent interest in mineral claims totaling 6446 hectares or 64.4 square
kilometers within the Thorn Project, not previously controlled, located north and northwest from the
past producing Golden Bear Mine.
Deal Terms
• Under a Purchase and Sale Agreement with arm’s length private Vendors, Brixton shall pay
the Vendors CAD$75,000 and issue 1,250,000 common shares of Brixton upon Exchange
approval;
• Brixton shall grant the Vendors a one percent Net Smelter Royalty Return (“NSR”) where
Brixton holds the right to buydown 50% of the NSR, half of 1% for CAD$1,000,000 prior to
commercial production.
Chairman and CEO, Gary R. Thompson, stated, “We are excited to further consolidate the Thorn
Project by adding more gold potential to the copper porphyry district play. Several gold geochemical
anomalies have been identified adjacent to and on trend with a past producer of high- grade gold.
Follow up exploration work is planned on these newly acquired claims to define drill targets.”

Discussion
As shown in Figure 2, several gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies have been identified and appear
to be open for expansion. The newly acquired claims are located north and northwest from the past
producing Golden Bear Mine.

Previous operators include Chevron, Homestake, North American Metals and Decoors Mining.
Historic rock samples collected returned 284 sample greater than 20 ppb Au with a high of 124.85
g/t gold and 77.47 g/t silver from the Shoulder Zone collected by Homestake 1991 (Hamilton, 1994).
In 1984, Chevron collected a rock grab from the Spire Zone that returned 14.00 g/t gold (Bruaset,
1984). The Honk Showing is a shear hosted quartz -pyrite vein along a north -trending splay of the
Ophir Break returned 18.07 g/t gold and 64.80 g/t silver from a rock grab sample (McBean, 1990).
Limited drilling has returned mixed results. One of the best values obtained from drilling was 1.1 g/t
gold and 30.3 g/t silver over 4.0m from drillhole R90-7 (Allen, 1990).
Gold was mined from the Golden Bear Mine from 1990- 2001 and is currently held by Newmont
Corporation and the site is under remediation and reclamation. The Golden Bear deposits, located
south and southeast from these newly acquired claims , are Carlin-type and low sulphidation type
gold deposits.
The 1987 Reserve Estimate for the Bear Main Zone, which was one of six deposits, was proven
and probable of 1.2 MT at 12 g/t gold.

On October 17, 1994, the owners of the Golden Bear Mine announced the discovery of the Grizzly
zone where it had drilled 27 g/t Au over a true width of 3.9m and a 15.5m intersection grading 14.4
g/t Au. Source: The Northern Miner news publication, 1994.
Gold mineralization in the mine area is structurally controlled as north-south to northwest structures.
A major north to northwest trending fault, known as the Ophir Break Zone, extends through the area
for over 10km and is defined by areas of intense fracturing with abundant slickensides , areas of
carbonaceous and siliceous black siltstone and gouge, and linear quartz -iron carbonate- pyrite-
listwanites and quartz-dolomite alteration zones.
Mineralization consists of pyrite, trace arsenopyrite and scorodite, native gold, pyrrhotite,
chalcopyrite, stibnite and tetrahedrite. Pyrite occurs as late- stage veinlets and as earlier breccia
matrix filling, fragments within breccias.

These newly acquired claims do not contain any reserves or resources and are considered early -
stage exploration targets for its high-grade underground potential. There are no assurances that
future work will define resources or reserves.
