Brixton Metals Discovers Porphyry Style Mineralization at the Camp Creek Copper
Corridor and Drills 230.82m of 0.27% CuEq at its Thorn Project
VANCOUVER, BC – (December 19, 2019) – Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQB:
BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce final analytical results from its 2019
phase two exploration program at its wholly owned Thorn Project located in the Golden Triangle of
British Columbia. The analytical results reported below are from a total of ten core holes, which is
the balance of the 2019 program. Six core holes were drilled at the Chivas Porphyry target, two core
holes were drilled at the Camp Creek Copper Corridor Porphyry target, one core hole was drilled at
the Talisker Zone and one core hole at the Outlaw Zone, a sediment hosted gold target.
2019 Highlights:
• 2019 drilling further supports a district-scale opportunity at the Thorn Project, showing metal
zoning similar in scale and arrangement with large porphyry Cu(Au-Mo) systems worldwide
• Intersections of porphyry-style Cu-Au-Mo mineralization in multiple 2019 drill holes in the
Camp Creek Corridor:
o THN19-150 (Oban): 554.70 m at 1.97 g/t AuEq (97.00-651.70 m)
o THN19-151 (Oban): 256.87 m at 2.31 g/t AuEq (100.18-357.05 m)
o THN19-162 (Glenfiddich): 230.82 m at 0.27% CuEq (323.00-553.82 m)
• Drill hole THN19-162 intersected Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralization as follows:
o 230.82m of 0.16% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au, 0.011% Mo and 1.90 g/t Ag or 0.27% CuEq from
323.00m depth with increasing Cu and Mo grades at depth
o Including 91.00m of 0.21% Cu, 0.09 g/t Au, 0.015% Mo and 2.43 g/t Ag or 0.35%
CuEq from 425.00m depth
o Including 59.25m of 0.22% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 0.015% Mo and 2.59 g/t Ag or 0.38%
CuEq from 456.75m depth
• Further drilling at the Outlaw Zone confirms broad intervals of gold mineralization:
o Drill hole THN19-160 intersected 32.05m of 0.50 g/t Au from 23.95m depth including
2.00m of 5.01 g/t Au from 54.00m depth
o Drill hole THN19-159 intersected 37.78m of 1.23 g/t Au from 95.00m depth including
12.00m of 3.46 g/t Au (gold assays adjusted after screen metallic analysis)
Chairman and CEO of Brixton Metals, Gary R. Thompson stated, “The 2019 exploration season for
Brixton was an exciting one, which started with one of the deepest and best core holes ever on the
Thorn Project resulting in more than a half kilometr e of mineralization. Drill hole 150 , which was
drilled at the Oban diatreme, included 135.96m of 5 g/t AuEq. Drill hole 162 is the first porphyry style
mineralization that has been drilled in the Camp Creek area. We are encouraged that the grades in
hole 162 are increasing with depth and ended in mineralization. The Camp Creek target is a blind
porphyry target that will take more work including geophysics, geochemistry and deep drilling to
locate the centre of the system. The Camp Creek Copper Corridor has all the porphyry hallmark
indicators of a large mineralized system.” See Figure 11 which shows the current work area in
relation to the size of the claim block.
Mr. Thompson continued, “Following the recent financings, Brixton expects to finish the year with
about C$5.6 million and is well positioned to continue advancing Thorn along with its other projects
for the benefit of our shareholders. We are still reviewing the data from the 2019 work programs at
all of our projects and plan to release our 2020 exploration plans early next year.”
Thorn Project Porphyry Target Highlights:
• Multiple phases of texturally and chemically Cu-fertile porphyry phases are present. Textural
favourability is indicated by 'crowd ed' plagioclase and hornblende phenocrysts and thick
biotite books; chemical fertility by high Sr/Y ratios, a recognized signal of porphyry Cu-related
intrusions worldwide.
• High-grade veins containing enargite and/or other sulphos alts are common in parts of the
Camp Creek Corridor like drill hole THN13-121, which returned 1.1 m true thickness of
10.62% Cu, 583 g/t Ag and 2.55 g/t Au from 74.4m depth. Vein grab samples from Camp
Creek have returned up to 66 g/t Au, 32 .8% Cu and 2,900 g/t Ag ; however, these grab
samples are not representative throughout the property , but s imilar veins closely overlie
porphyry Cu shells at other deposits.
• Fragments containing chalcopyrite-and/or molybdenite-mineralized porphyry-style veins are
present in the Oban breccia. They were likely derived from porphyry mineralization at depth
and transported upward by the explosive brecciation process (Sillitoe, 1985).

Camp Creek Copper Corridor Drilling Summary
The 2019 phase two program objective was to conduct a deep seeing to about one kilometre depth
DCIP-MT geophysical survey across the Camp Creek trend to identify dr ill targets. Unfortunately,
due to a late start of the survey and the early onset of winter conditions, less than half of the proposed
survey lines were completed (9km of the 20km). Drilling at Camp Creek Target consisted of a total
1,308m within three holes with the objective to test for porphyry related mineralization. Drill hole 162
was located about 1 kilometre west from hole 150. Hole 162 was successful in intersecting porphyry
style copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization over significant widths. Mineralization is hosted
in a diorite porphyry Thorn stock and consists generally in disseminated sulphides. Drill hole 162
was drilled below the high sulphidation part of the system that was intersected by previous drilling at
the Glenfiddich Zone where THN13-121 returned 1.1 m true thickness of 10.62% Cu, 583 g/t Ag and
2.55 g/t Au from 74.4m depth.

The most significant porphyry related mineralization interval in drill hole 162 occurs from 323.00m to
553.82m where analytical results returned 230.82m of 0.16% Cu, 0.08 g/t Au, 0.011% Mo and 1.90
g/t Ag or 0.27% CuEq . Importantly, it appears that porphyry style Cu-Mo mineralization increases
with depth (see Figure 6. Hole 162 Graphic Log).

Chivas Zone Drilling Summary
The 2019 drilling at the Chivas Zone consisted of a total of 4,018m within six holes over an area of
approximately nine hectares. The depths of the holes varied from 544m to 862m. The objective of
the drilling was to drill test for porphyry related mineralization , which was encountered in previous
drilling in hole 149 (see News Release dated September 7, 2017 ) and corroborated with multi-
kilometre surface geochemistry anomaly and geological fie ld mapping. The drilling campaign
successfully intersected porphyry related copper -molybdenum-silver-(±gold) mineralization.
Mineralization is associated with chalcopyrite, pyrite and molybdenite and occurs as disseminated
or porphyry style veins. A table of highlights of the analytical results is shown below (Table 5).

VP of Exploration for Brixton Metals, Mr. Sorin Posescu stated, “While the Chivas Zone is a legitimate
porphyry discovery that exhibits a very large surface Cu-Au-Mo geochemical footprint, this year’s
drilling results have returned lower grades than anticipated. As a result, we ar e planning to further
digest and interpret the 2019 Chivas analytical data over the winter months. We will also be
assessing other areas on the property that present high potential for a porphyry discovery.”

Outlaw Zone Drilling Summary
As previously disclosed by the Company in the News Release dated November 14, 2019, the
Company drilled two holes at the Outlaw Zone for a total of 689m in holes THN19-159 and THN19-
160. The Company conducted screen metallic assays on select samples fr om hole 159 whi ch
returned higher gold grades (see Table 8 below). The analytical results from hole 160 reported below
confirms the robustness of the gold system at the Outlaw zone where drilling continues to deliver
gold mineralization over significant widths and remains open in several directions.

The Outlaw Zone represents a multi -kilometre long intrusion-related sediment -hosted gold-silver
target. Mineralization is hosted within multiple horizons of sub -horizontal sediments (or siliclastics)
as interbedded siltstone-graywacke with both stratigraphic and structural controls. Mineralization i s
also hosted in granodiorite and rhyodacite units. Early exploration work on the Outlaw Zone
conducted by Chevron’s Mineral Division in the 1980’s entailed soil and rock geochemical surveys,
trenching and a series of drill holes. Follow -up geological mapp ing and further geochemical work
was conducted by Rimfire Minerals from 2000 -2004. Brixton conducted further detailed soil -rock
geochemical surveys and drilled a series of core holes at broad centres for about 450m of continuous
strike on the west side of the gold-in-soil anomaly. Previous drilling by Brixton at the Outlaw Zone
intersected 59.65m of 1.15 g/t Au, 5.64 g/t Ag from 76m depth in drill hole THN14 -128 and 52.00m
of 0.94 g/t Au, 5.95 g/t Ag from 78m depth and a second interval of 18m of 1.61 g/t Au, 12.31 g/t Ag
from surface in drill hole THN16 -132. During 2018, Brixton collected rock grab samples from the
west end of the Outlaw gold-in-soil anomaly returning up to 39.4 g/t Au.

Property Wide New Porphyry Targets Update
As previously disclosed in News Release dated October 30, 2019, Brixton staked an additional 977
square kilometres of mineral claims in 2019. The new claims were acquired based on the British
Columbia Geological Survey re -analysis of stream sediment data which highlights high porphyry
Copper potential (Geoscience BC Report 2018-14, 18 May 2018). To date the Company has focused
its exploration efforts on approximately 5,000 hectares which represents only 2.5 percent of the total
mineral claims.
As part of the data compilation for the region, the Company had iden tified 46 minfile occurrences
that include gold-silver and bornite-chalcopyrite showings located on its mineral claims that have yet
to be followed up.
