Trapper Gold Target
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, December 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Brixton Metals
Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce

Chairman, CEO, Gary R. Thompson stated, “We are very pleased to deliver the multi-element assay
results from the 2025 Trapper Gold Target campaign. These results not only confirm the continuity
of high-grade gold mineralization but also demonstrate the presence of significant silver intervals
across the target area. The updated data from previously reported drill holes, combined with new
results from the remaining holes, further expand our understanding of the Trapper system and
reinforce its potential for a large-scale mineralized system. We look forward to advancing exploration
at Trapper and the broader Thorn Project as we continue to unlock value for our shareholders.”

Discussion – Trapper Gold Target
The 2025 campaign focused on expanding the known gold and silver mineralization within the central
mineralized area and testing the continuity of mineralization, as observed in the 4 km-long,
northwest-southeast-trending gold-in-soils anomaly (Figure 1) . This strategic approach aimed to
build on previous successes and further delineate the extent of high-grade gold zones at the Trapper
Target (Figure 2).

Hole ID
The 2025 drill program successfully continued to demonstrate the significant gold and silver
endowment of the Trapper Target. This year, a total of 6,272 meters were drilled across 30 holes,
with the best intercepts represented by hole THN25 -344, which returned 38.50 meters of 4.07 g/t
gold and 6.71 g/t silver from 191.00 meters, and hole THN25 -345, which returned 22.15 meters of
4.44 g/t gold and 3.45 g/t silver from 203.85 meters. These results reinforce the continuity and scale
of high-grade mineralization at Trapper, supporting its potential for a large-scale mineralized system.
Gold mineralization at Trapper is structurally controlled, trending northwest -southeast and dipping
moderately to the north in the main drilling area. Mineralization appears to favour the contact
between the Cretaceous (85.2 ± 1.2 Ma) quartz diorite and Triassic lapilli tuffs, with broad gold
intervals largely hosted along these faulted contacts. The gold is associated with silver and base
metal veins containing pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and locally chalcopyrite and bornite.
The geochemical footprint for the Trapper Gold Target was expanded in 2021 to 4 km by 1.5 km,
with a gold-in-soil signature strongly correlated to zinc and lead. Visible gold has been identified in
both drill core and surface outcrops (Figure 3). Gold occurs in several environments: within base
metal veins (sphalerite-galena-pyrite-chalcopyrite), quartz-stockwork, sulphosalt-pyrite veinlets, and,
more rarely, disseminated in the diorite and feldspar porphyries.
Through a combination of oriented core drilling, surface mapping, geochemistry, and geophysics,
Brixton aims to improve the predictability of gold-bearing zones and expand the mineralized footprint.
The Trapper Target remains royalty-free, and ongoing work will focus on identifying new zones of
gold-bearing mineralization under the footprint of the extensive geochemical anomaly. The zone
remains open for expansion, and future exploration will target both known and newly interpreted
structural corridors.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Quality assurance and quality control protocols for drill core sampling were developed by Brixton.
Core samples were mostly taken at 1.5m intervals. High-grade intervals were taken at 0.5m. Blank,
duplicate (lab pulp) and certified reference materials were inserted at a combined rate of up to 15%.
Core samples were cut in half, bagged, zip -tied, and sent directly to the ALS Minerals preparation
facility in Whitehorse, Yukon, or Langley, British Columbia, depending on available lab capacity. 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. Overlimits for
gold were analyzed using fire assay and gravimetric finish. The standards, certified reference
materials, were acquired 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 materi al used consisted of non -mineralized siliceous
landscaping rock. A copy of the QAQC protocols can be viewed at the Company’s website.
