Canadian exploration company Brixton Metals (TSX-V:BBB) has observed ‘high-grade’ intervals, in cases accompanied by visible gold, following drilling at the Trapper gold target from the 2025 season.
A total of 6,272m was drilled at the Trapper target from 30 holes with assays pending for the remaining 10 holes.
Brixton says the zone remains open for expansion in multiple directions.
CEO Gary R Thompson says the company is thrilled by the results, which “continue to underscore the exceptional potential of this emerging gold system”.
“The intercept reported earlier this season of 22.15m grading 4.44 grams per tonne gold, including a high-grade interval of 1.5m at 57.2g/t gold, is particularly encouraging and speaks to the robust mineralisation we’re seeing at depth,” Thompson says.
“These results reinforce our confidence in the scale, grade, and continuity of the Trapper zone. With assays still pending and the zone remaining open for expansion, we believe we are only beginning to uncover the full extent of this exciting target.”
Drillholes THN25-360, THN25-361, and THN25-363 were strategically positioned to test and infill the interpreted central upper mineralised body at the Trapper Target. All holes were collared from the same location.
These holes were oriented to intersect the mineralised trend perpendicularly, aiming to assess the potential true width of the mineralised zone.
Gold mineralisation at the Trapper target is hosted within Triassic lapilli tuff, which has been intruded by Cretaceous quartz diorite and feldspar porphyry dikes of undetermined age. The mineralised zones are associated with vein assemblages containing pyrite, sphalerite, and galena.
All three lithological units contain gold, with higher-grade intervals typically found near the contacts between these units, while lower-grade mineralisation is present between the reported intervals.
In addition to gold, mineralisation at Trapper is accompanied by silver, zinc, lead, and copper. For example, hole THN25-360 returned ‘high-grade’ gold alongside significant silver and zinc values.
Analytical results for silver and other elements in holes THN25-361 and THN25-363 are currently pending from the laboratory.
The three holes intercepted mineralisation over intervals ranging from 18.5m to 25.5m, with gold grades above 3.33g/t gold. ‘High-grade’ intervals were observed in all holes, including visible gold, as seen in hole THN25-361, with 112g/t gold over 0.5m.
Brixton owns four exploration projects in Canada and the US.
