VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 07, 2020 -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV:BBB)(OTCQB:BBBXF) (the “Company” or
“Brixton”) announces initial drill results from its maiden drill program at is wholly owned Hog Heaven Project, which returned
multiple significant intervals of high-grade silver, gold and copper mineralization. A total of seven holes representing 1,400.35
metres were drilled of HQ sized core.
Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, “We are very pleased to have successfully completed our maiden
drill program at the Hog Heaven Project. The new, strategic approach under Brixton is to define a compliant resource on the
high-grade silver-gold-copper targets as a near term underground operation versus the historic mine plan, which was an open
pit mine plan. Based on these results and our preliminary interpretation of the remaining holes, we plan to complete a Phase II
exploration program at the Hog Heaven Project later this summer.”
The purpose of this drilling program was to validate historical results from the 1970’s and 1980’s at the Main Mine area. High
grade mineralization was encountered in all of the holes drilled.
Highlights of Hole HH20-02
• Drill hole HH20-02 intersected a broad 224.85m zone of mineralization for 78.16 g/t Ag, 0.66 g/t Au, 0.24% Cu (75.07m-
299.92m) which includes the following:
• 5.48m of 445.79 g/t Ag, 1.41 g/t Au, 1.50% Cu
• 2.13m 0f 917.36 g/t Ag, 2.00 g/t Au, 3.06% Cu
• 53.49m of 165.90 g/t Ag, 1.28 g/t Au, 0.55% Cu
• 13.56m of 185.80 g/t Ag, 2.24 g/t Au, 0.76% Cu
• 1.37m of 1,750 g/t Ag, 5.39 g/t Au, 2.65% Cu
Brixton plans to discuss these results, along with the ongoing work at its Thorn Project, in a webinar on Tuesday, July 7th at
2pm EDT (11am PDT). Please register here

High grades emerged within the hole as two distinct Upper and Lower Zones.
The Upper Zone interval of 36.18 metres is from 75.07 metres to 111.25 metres depth. Several semi-massive to massive
sulphide mineralization within a latite porphyry dyke and along its brecciated margins. Specific high-grade intervals within the
Upper Zone include 5.48 metres of 445.79 g/t Ag, 1.41 g/t Au, and 1.50% Cu, including 2.13 metres of 917.36 g/t Ag, 2.00 g/t
Au, 3.06% Cu.
The Lower Zone interval of 53.49 metres is from 198.12 metres to 251.61 metres, encountered in the sediment-hosted unit, a
newly-recognized mineral style at Hog Heaven. In this zone, mineralization is strata-bound within pebble conglomerates and
occurs over numerous semi-massive to massive and vuggy replacement horizons. In total the Lower Zone 53.49 metre interval
returned 165.90 g/t Ag, 1.28 g/t Au, 0.55% Cu . Several high-grade intervals within the zone returned 9.45 metres assaying
221.90 g/t Ag, 1.05 g/t Au, and 0.94% Cu; 0.32 metres assaying 1,010 g/t Ag, 7.47 g/t Au, and 0.64% Cu; and 13.56 metres
assaying 185.80 g/t Ag, 2.24 g/t Au, and 0.76% Cu. An additional massive sulphide horizon from the Lower Zone assayed
1.37m of 1,750.00 g/t Ag, 5.39 g/t Au, and 2.65% Cu.

Brixton recognizes the potential for the Hog Heaven Project to host a cluster of mineralized systems. Results from the recent
soil sampling and other recently completed drill holes on the Hog Heaven Project will be released when they have been
received and analyzed by the Company.
At least three primary target areas have been identified for further drilling: the Main Mine, WF-Ole Hill area and Martin Mine
area. The project has affinity for strata-bound Cu-Ag deposits, high-sulphidation Ag-Au-Cu deposits and porphyry Cu-Au
deposits.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
As a matter of procedure, the mineralized intervals of drill core were split in the field using an electric-powered core saw,
bagged, and delivered to ALS Chemex Laboratories in Vancouver for analysis. In addition to the laboratory's quality control
program, a rigorous on-site quality assurance and quality control program was implemented, which involved the insertion of
blanks, standards and splits to ensure reliable assay results. The standards, blanks and duplicate assays were found to fall
within acceptable limits, supporting the precision and accuracy of the reported results. The QAQC was conducted by an
independent third-party, Mr. Scott Close, P.Geo., Principal of Ethos Geological Inc., who is a qualified person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101, and who reviewed and approved the information in this press release.
Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson further stated, “The Company has accepted the resignation of Mr. Sorin
Posescu, VP Exploration for the Company. On Behalf of everyone at Brixton I wish to thank Mr. Posescu for his work over the
past decade and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
Effectively immediately, Mr. Mitchell Smith has been promoted to Vice President of Investor Relations for the Company.
