VANCOUVER, British Columbia, September 8, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Brixton Metals
Corporation (TSX: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce
the discovery of additional visible gold intercepts in shallow drilling and provides analytical results
from the initial batch of rock samples from the Trapper Gold Target. The Trapper Target is one of
Brixton’s 14 currently recognized copper -gold-silver targets at the Thorn Project, located in
Northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

Christina Anstey, Vice President of Exploration, stated, “We are eagerly waiting for assay results
from the drilling and the additional rock and soil samples that were collected at the Trapper Gold
Target. During 2021 the company focused its efforts on the blind Camp Creek Porphyry Target, and
the Trapper Target where mineralization is at or near surface. Assays are pending for hole THN21-
184, which was drilled at Camp Creek to 1200m, ending in mineralization, and fourteen shallow drill
holes from the Trapper Target.”
During the 2021 explora tion program a total of 342 rock samples and 394 soil samples were
collected.
Results from 85 rock grab samples have been received from the analytical laboratory. Eighteen
samples yielded greater that 1.0 g/t Au, seven samples returned greater than 5 g/t Au, three were
greater than 20 g/t Au and the highest value was 48.5 g/t Au, from sample D131160, also containing
215.00 g/t Ag and 1.15% Cu.
Ten of the 85 rock samples returned greater than 0.1% Cu, six samples yielded greater than 1% Cu,
two samples generated greater than 3% Cu with the highest value of 5.1% Cu.
A copper bearing outcrop was discovered 385m west from the first drill pad and collar THN21 -185
at the Trapper Target. The outcrop consists of a large rusty -red-brown quartz vein or silicified zone
with chalcopyrite-sulphosalts-pyrite-bornite-malachite, hosted within lapilli tuff volcanic rocks. Grab
sample D131137 returned 3.92% Cu, 3.07 g/t Au, 34.60 g/t Ag. See Figure 2 for the location of this
sample and Figure 4 for a picture of this sampl e. Grab sample D131136 was taken from the same
outcrop, and returned 9.52 g/t Au, 1.99% Cu, 13.65 g/t Ag. Subsequently, a 12m rock-saw channel
sample was collected at one -meter intervals across the mineralized zone. Assays are pending for
this channel.
Sample D131260 returned 5.10% Cu, 25.3 g/t Ag, 0.30 g/t Au and consisted of a one -meter-wide
quartz vein with chalcopyrite-pyrite-malachite. This sample was taken from a large angular boulder,
with abundant nearby boulders of the same style suggesting a pr oximal source. See Figure 2 for
location of the sample.
Rocks collected are select grab samples of mineralized outcrops and minor float within the Trapper
Target area and do not represent the entire target. Soil sample results and the remaining rock sample
results are pending.

Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO, stated, “The Trapper Gold Target continues to generate
encouraging results from the 2021 program at the Thorn Project. In addition to the multiple phases
of mineralization and vein generation , we have recognized low sulfidation style veins crosscutting
high sulfidation mineralization and veining . The high-sulfidation minerals may suggest potential for
porphyry gold and or copper mineralization at depth or laterally.”

In addition to the previously reported visible gold intercepts, geologists recorded ten visible gold
intercepts in hole THN21 -195 between 95.15m and 189.17m depth . Examples of visible gold
observed in hole 195 can be seen in Figure 5 below.

Rock samples were prepared by ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse, YT and assayed at
ALS Laboratory Facilities in North Vancouver, British Columbia. ALS Minerals Laboratories is
registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 accreditations for laboratory procedures. Samples were
analyzed 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.
About the Trapper Gold Target
The Trapper Gold Target is located 12-14km southeast from the main Thorn camp and airstrip which
is located 90km ENE from Juneau, Alaska. The Trapper Target represents a volcanic and intrusive
hosted gold target where soil and rock sampling and limited drilling have identified a multi-kilometer
long northwest-trending gold anomaly. Since the 2020 acquisition of the Trapper claims by Brixton,
prospecting and rock sampling identified a new area along Inlaw Creek that returned high-grade gold
values. In 2021, two new copper showings have been discovered and visible gold was identified in
seven drill holes and outcrop sampling. In 2011, f orty-two drill holes totaling 8581m were drilled at
the Trapper Target, where drill hole TG11-11 returned 34m of 1.7 g/t Au including 0.41m of 92.8 g/t
Au with visible gold. A recently completed Mobile MT geophysical survey identified a large deep -
rooted resistivity/conductivity anomaly associated with the target.
