VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 6, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Brixton Metals Corporation
(TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce its first batch
of 2022 drill results from its wholly owned Thorn Project located in the Golden Triangle trend of British
Columbia. The Project is located within the Taku River Tlingit and Tahltan First Nation ’s traditional
territory.
Highlights
o Hole THN22-205 intercepted numerous visible gold counts and returned the
highest-grade gold intercept this season
o Hole THN22-205 was collared 120m west from the discovery hole THN21 -186 (300
g*m intercept)
o Hole THN22-205 yielded:
▪ 64.00m of 5.74 g/t Au (367 g*m Au)
▪ Including 52.00m of 6.97 g/t Au (362 g*m Au)
▪ Including 28.95m of 10.36 g/t Au (300 g*m Au) including 7m of 19 g/t Au
Vice President of Exploration, Christina Anstey, stated, “ We are delighted that our May start to the
2022 season is paying off and that lab turnaround times are a meaningful improvement over last
year. We are looking forward to further expanding this exciting new gold discovery at the Trapper
Zone both further west, east and at depth. We have many holes yet to drill in this area so we are
very excited to see what other discoveries can be made.”

All assay values are uncut weighted averages and intervals reflect drilled lengths as further drilling
is required to determine the true widths of the mineralization.
Chairman and CEO, Gary R. Thompson, stated “The numbers speak for themselves as to the gold
potential of the Trapper Target with this outstanding hole. The Thorn Project has many mineralizing
centers within the largest mineral claim group held by any company in British Columbia.”

Discussion
Gold mineralization at Trapper is structurally controlled and northwest, east-west and northeast
trends have been identified . Mineralization appears to favor the contact between the Cretaceous
quartz diorite and the Triassic lapilli tuff volcanic rocks. Broad high-grade gold intervals are largely
hosted within the quartz diorite unit. The gold is associated with base metal vein s (lead-zinc +/-
copper) that have offsets, jogs and broken patterns . With the use of oriented core measurements,
surface mapping, geochemistry and magnetics, the aim is to achieve predictability of the gold -
bearing zones. The current drilling at the Trapp er Target is located about 7km southeast from the
Camp Creek Porphyry Target.

It is evident by the graphic strip log in Figure 9, that the gold and silver mineralization is associated
with copper, lead and zinc at least within this part of the mineralizing system.
Drilling Update
At press time, a total of 5091.70m have been drilled this season so far, with 2557m at the Camp
Creek Porphyry target and 2533m at the Trapper Target.
Drill hole THN22-200 (629m depth) and THN22 -202 (636m depth) were drilled in the Camp Creek
area from the same pad as pilot holes where if porphyry mineralization was encountered, the larger
drill would continue deeper in these holes. Hole THN22-201 was drilled as a new hole from the same
pad as hole THN21-184 with a 239 degrees azimuth and -83 dip, since we were unable to re-enter
THN21-184 and conduct a deep wedge hole as was originally planned. Hole THN22-201 was drilled
to a depth of 1302m depth and was terminated due to poor ground conditions (assays are pending).
Drill holes THN22 -203 to THN22 -210 were drilled at the Trapper Target. The Nemo Target hole
THN22-211 was a geophysical conductor test.

About the Thorn Project
The wholly-owned 2,863 square kilometer Thorn Project is located in the Golden Triangle of British
Columbia, Canada, approximately 90 km northeast of Juneau, AK. The southern limit of the Thorn
claim boundary is roughly 50 km from tide water. The Thorn Project hosts a district-scale 80km trend
of Triassic to Eocene, volcano-plutonic complex and related sedimentary units with several styles of
mineralization related to porphyry and epithermal environments. Fourteen large-scale copper-gold
targets have been identified for further exploration work. Information on each of the targets may be
found at the following link: https://brixtonmetals.com/thorn-gold-copper-silver-project/
About the Trapper Gold Target
The geochemical footprint for the Trapper Gold Target was expanded in 2021 to 4km by 1.5km. The
gold-in-soil geochemical signature has a strong positive correlation to zinc-lead. The Trapper Target
represents a volcanic and intrusive hosted gold target. Th e volcanics are Triassic Stuhini lapilli tuff
and at least two intrusive phases have been identified as diorite and quartz diorite. Age-dating for
the mineralized intrusive is Cretaceous of 85.2Ma +- 1.2Ma. Visible gold has been identified in core
and surface outcrops. Rock grab samples have returned up to 135 g/t Au. Visible gold is recognized
in several environments: within base metal -veins-veinlets (sphalerite -galena-pyrite-chalcopyrite);
quartz-stockwork, within sulphosalt -pyrite veinlets and disseminat ed gold in the diorite. In 2021,
Brixton completed 15 drill holes between 58-322m depth for a total of 3,107m. In 2011, forty-two drill
holes were completed, totaling 8581m, where drill hole TG11 -11 returned 32.64m of 1.78 g/t Au
including 0.41m of 92.8 g/t Au with visible gold. The Trapper Target is royalty free.
Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Quality assurance and quality control protocols for drill core sampling was developed by Brixton.
Core samples were mostly taken at 1.0m intervals. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp) and certified reference
materials were inserted into the sample stream for at least every 20 drill core samples. Core samples
were cut in half, bagged, zip-tied and sent directly to ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse,
Yukon. ALS Minerals Laboratories is registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 accreditations for
laboratory procedures. Samples were analyzed at ALS Laboratory Facilities in North Vancouver,
British Columbia for gold by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish, whereas Ag, Pb, Cu and Zn
and 48 additional elements were analyzed using four acid digestion with an ICP -MS finish. Over
limits for gold were analyzed using fire assay and gravimetric finish. The standards, certified
reference materials, were a cquired from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd., of Langley, British
Columbia and the standards inserted varied depending on the type and abundance of mineralization
visually observed in the primary sample. Blank material used consisted of non-mineralized siliceous
landscaping rock. A copy of the QAQC protocols can be viewed at the Company’s website.
