VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 09, 2018 -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V:BBB) (the “ Company” or “Brixton”) is
pleased to announce drill results from its wholly owned Langis Mine Project located in the Cobalt Camp, Ontario, Canada.
Highlights from six drill holes at the Langis Project
• Drill hole LM18-16 intersected 7.87m of 2,787.26 g/t silver, 0.27% cobalt including 1.00m of 15,436.00 g/t silver,
1.98% cobalt, 0.47% nickel
• Drill hole LM18-20 intersected 70.65m of 0.10% nickel, 0.01% cobalt, 7.07 g/t silver
Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, “Brixton Metals continues to deliver strong silver-cobalt results from
the Cobalt Camp. Drill hole LM18-16 returned a spectacular one metre interval of 450 oz/t silver (15,436 g/t Ag) and 1.98%
cobalt, which combined is equivalent to 12.67% cobalt or 537 oz/t silver. A broad nickel-cobalt-silver mineralized zone was
discovered in the Archean basement rocks, which is up to 70m thick. See the table and cross section below, where holes 16,
19, 20 and 21 intersected nickel-cobalt-silver mineralization. We plan to drill more holes on the property aimed at locating a
high-grade core to this broad mineralized horizon at Langis and to further extend the bonanza grade silver-cobalt veins.”

Cobalt Equivalent values (CoEq) were calculated using the formula CoEq = $16.5 x Ag g/t ÷ 31.104 +$35 x % Co ÷ 100 x
2204.63 + $5.50 x % Ni ÷ 100 x 2204.63 ÷ $35 ÷ 2204.63*100. This method assumes full metal recoveries.
Silver Equivalent values (AgEq) were calculated using the formula AgEq = $16.5 x Ag g/t ÷ 31.104 + $35 x % Co ÷ 100 x
2204.63 + $5.50 x % Ni ÷ 100 x 2204.63 ÷$16.5 x 31.104. Metal prices used in this calculation include: $16.5 per ounce for
Ag, $5.5 per pound for Ni and $35 per pound for Co. This method assumes full metal recoveries. True width cannot be
determined at this time and reported widths are drilled intervals.
Hole LM18-17 encountered underground workings and was abandoned. Results from 8 additional holes are pending. True
widths have not been determined at this time.

Core Descriptions
LM-18-16: (159.56 – 160.56m): Mineralization consists of smaltite-native silver-cobaltite multi-centimetre scale veins and
veinlets +/- pink quartz calcite veinlets that cross-cut Huronian conglomerate. Very fine disseminated cobalt minerals and
native silver is present in this interval.
Quality Assurance & Quality Control

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. Historically, the Cobalt Camp produced 50M pounds of cobalt as a by-
product of 500M ounces of silver production.
