Brixton Metals Discovers Diamond Bearing Kimberlite at its Langis Project, Ontario
VANCOUVER, BC – (Marketwired – August 30, 2018 – Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB)
(the “ Company” or “ Brixton”) is pleased to announce the discovery of a kimberlitic body at its
Langis project. The Company sent a total of 53.6 kg collected from the three holes that intersected
the kimberlitic rock to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories Diamond Services (GLDS) in Saskatoon for
micro diamonds recovery tests. Micro d iamonds recovery tests returned one diamond from the
kimberlite intersected in drill hole LM-18-37.

Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, “We are very intrigued by this discovery.
We were targeting cobalt -nickel-silver mineralization in the shallow Archean rocks when we
encountered the kimberlitic material. The fact that we recovered a diamond fragment given that the
kimberlite sample size was very small is an exciting discovery. The kimberlite in hole 36 to hole 37
is 149m apart and the distance of the kimberlite from hole 37 to the kimberlite in hole 34 is 515m.
This has piqued our interest as to whether a very large kimberlite pipe or a series of pipes exists.”
Three holes encountered kimberlitic breccia directly beneath the overburden (22m to 40m vertical
depth). Please see figure 2.
Generally the kimberlitic rock is heavily weathered and brecciated. Additional work to determine
the heavy minerals content and petrography is ongoing.
The first kimberlite unit was discovered in drill hole LM-18-34. Hole 34 was drilled at 130 degrees
azimuth with a dip of 38 degrees. Overburden was encountered to 65m drill depth of approximately
40m vertical depth. The kimberlite in hole 34 is a 15m interval from 65m drill depth. The kimberlite
is very weathered including limestone rich fragments.
Drill hole LM-18-36 is located 495m to the northeast from hole 34. Drill hole LM-18-36 was drilled
at 120 degrees azimuth and a 38 degrees dip. Overburden was encountered to 36.5m or about
22m vertic al depth. The s yenite clast rich kimberlite was encountered over a 14m interval from
36.5m.
Hole LM-18-37 was located 149m northwest from drill hole 36 and 515m from hole 34 . Hole 37
was drilled at 35 1.5 degrees azimuth and a 38 degrees dip. Overburden was encountered to 57m
or about 35m vertical depth. The kimberlite interval in hole 37 was 44m in length from 60m. The
kimberlite unit contained limestone fragments and is very weathered.
The Company is planning further core and RC drilling to test for the extent of the kimberlitic body.
The company will consult with some of the top diamond exploration experts to assist with the
evaluation and assessment of this new discovery.
Vice President of Exploration for Brixton, Sorin Posescu stated , “This is definitely an interesting
time for Brixton and for the Langis project. We are excited to have discovered diamond bearing
kimberlitic rocks and look forward to doing additional work to understand the full extent and the
economic potential of this discovery. The Langis project is very well located with excellent
infrastructure, year-round road and rail access, power , and low -cost drilling , which ultimately
translates to a low cost of exploration.”

Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Sealed samples were shipped by the Company geologists to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories
Diamond Services (GLDS) in Saskatoon for processing and caustic fusion analysis . SRC
Geoanalytical Laboratories Diamond Services are ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Accredited Laboratory for
laboratory procedures. The GLDS are a SCC Accredited Laboratory (Standard Council of
Canada). The kimberlite samples were analyzed for micro diamond recovery by Caustic Fusion at
>106 microns.
About the Langis and Hudson Bay Silver-Cobalt Project
Brixton’s wholly owned Langis and Hudson Bay past producing mines are located 500km north
from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The cobalt -silver mineralization occurs as steeply -moderately and
in some cases shallow dipping veins and as disseminations within any of the three main rock
types: Archean volcanics, Coleman Member sediments and Nipissing diabase. The Langis mine
produced 10.4Moz of silver at 25 oz/t Ag and 358,340 pounds of cobalt and the Hudson Bay mine
produced 6.4Moz of silver at 123 oz/t Ag and 185,570 pounds of cobalt. Histori cally, the Cobalt
Camp produced 50M pounds of cobalt as a by-product of 500M ounces of silver production.
