Brixton Metals Starts Drilling at its Thorn Project and Provides Update on its Atlin
Goldfields Project
VANCOUVER, BC – (June 6, 2019) – Brixton Metals Corporation (TSXV: BBB) (OTCQB: BBBXF)
(the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce that it has kicked off the exploration program
at its Thorn project located in Northwest British Columbia. The initial 2019 program will consist of
1,000 metres of HQ size core drilling at Oban zone (within the Camp Creek Trend) to test for
porphyry copper mineralization at depth.

Chairman and CEO of Brixton Metals, Gary R. Thompson stated, “ This one, deep hole at Thorn
could be a game changer for the project, particularly if we continue to hit copper mineralization at
the bottom of the 1000 metre hole. The Thorn project ha s evolved over the years from th e silver
discovery in 2011 to the sediment hosted gold-silver discovery at the Outlaw zone in 2014 and now
to copper porp hyry at the Chivas and Camp Creek targets. The majority of the previous work on
the property is within a 60 square kilometre area and many historic Cu-Au-Mo minfile showings and
gossans on the nearly 1000 square kilometre property have yet to be followed up. The discovery
rate for mineralization on the Thorn property is high.”
Update on the Atlin Goldfields Project
The Company is also pleased to report that it has received the final report of the recently flown
1992 line-kilometres of helicopter-borne magnetic survey carried out by Geotech Ltd., at its Atlin
Goldfields project located in Northwest British Columbia. The principal geophysical sensor was a
caesium magnetometer. Ancillary equipment included a GPS navigation system, radar altimeter
and laser altimeter.
The survey has been successful in identifying a large number of geophysical anomalies and
features. The ultramafic rock units tend to show up as magnetic highs. The orogenic gold
mineralization at the Atlin Goldfields project is structurally controlled and the interpretation of the
newly acquired geophysical data highlights a large number of structures and cross-structures that
could potentially control the gold mineralization. Both steeply dipping and shallow thrust faulting
occur in the camp. The Company is planning to further refine its exploration model to include the
recently acquired geophysical data an d plan s to follow up some of the more favorable features
through shallow drilling. Please see the 2019 calculated vertical gradient map of the magnetics
survey, including structural interpretation , selected drill results and surface geochemistry from
previous work below.

The road accessible Pictou showing returned 4 g/t Au and 11 g/t Au from 2018 chip -grab samples
and historical grab samples have returned up to 61 g/t Au. These are select samples and are not
representative of the mineralization hosted on the property or on the showing in the figure above.
Update on Corporate Activities
The Company has elected not to proceed with the previously announced spin -out of its Cobalt
assets as contemplated in the News Release dated June 28, 2018.
