Brixton Metals (TSX-V:BBB) will pursue further exploration to expand the main mineralised zone at the Trapper gold target within the company’s flagship Thorn Project in British Columbia.
A total of 6,272m was drilled at the Trapper Target from 30 holes during the 2025 season, with assays pending for the remaining 17 holes. The zone remains open for expansion.
Highlights from the latest results include hole THN25-344 returning 38.50m of 4.07 grams per tonne of gold from 191m depth, including 1.85m of 39.61g/t gold from 220m depth, with the same hole also returning 6.35m of 1.81g/t gold from 281.65m depth.
CEO Gary R Thompson says the high-grade potential is clearly highlighted by hole THN25-344 and “further exploration is warranted to expand the main mineralised zone where it remains open to the northeast, southeast, and north of the main area and at depth”.
Brixton notes the objective of hole THN25-344 was to infill and delineate a trend for the ‘high-grade’ gold mineralisation from previous drilling that was encountered in hole THN22-205 (64m of 5.74g/t gold).
Hole THN25-344 was collared 88m south from the collar for hole THN22-205.
The wholly owned Thorn Project is located on trend with British Columbia’s prolific Golden Triangle and sits on a 2,945km2 claim block. It encompasses one of the largest and highest-ranking porphyry copper-gold geochemical anomalies within British Columbia.
The gold mineralisation is hosted within Triassic lapilli tuff, intruded by a Cretaceous quartz diorite and a feldspar porphyry dike of unknown age. Gold is associated with vein assemblages of pyrite-sphalerite-galena.
The mineralisation is hosted within all three rock types, higher grade favours the contacts between these units. Low grade gold mineralisation occurs between these reported intervals.
Since 2011, Brixton has drilled about 101,430m on many targets, and obtained 32,000 soil samples, 17,500 rock samples, and 1,800 stream sediment samples.
The latest results from the Thorn Project come as gold prices reached new highs during September 2025, with prices lifting above US$3,700 ($5,635) per ounce before surpassing the US$4,000 mark today (8 October), as reported by Mining.com.au.
Trading Economics reports the surging gold price comes amid anticipation of US cuts to interest rates, coupled with ongoing political turmoil in France, and a leadership change in Japan.
Brixton Metals is a Canadian explorer focused on advancing its portfolio of copper, silver, and gold projects in North America.
