These results represent the first three of fifteen shallow drill holes that were drilled in 2021 for a total of 3,107.34m. The 12 holes and pending assays shall be released as they are made available. The wholly owned 2600 square kilometer
Drill Highlights
The Trapper Target is a deep-rooted multi-phase gold porphyry system
Hole THN21-186 yielded 11.0m of 19.25 g/t gold from 50m within 139.0m of 2.14 g/t Au
Including a high of 276 g/t Au over 0.46m and 160 g/t Au over 0.50m
A broad zone of 187.5m of 1.6 g/t Au including the above sub-intervals
Drill holes THN21-185-187 were drilled from the sample pad with HQ sized core. THN21-185 was drilled to a depth of 274m at 55 degree azimuth and negative 60 degree dip. THN21-186 was drilled to a depth of 190m at an azimuth of 360 degree and a dip of negative 65 degree. THN21-187 was drill to 58m depth at an azimuth of 180 degree and negative 45 dip.
Quality assurance and quality control protocols for drill core sampling was developed by Brixton. Core samples were mostly taken at 1.0m intervals. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp) and certified reference materials were inserted into the sample stream for at least every 20 drill core samples. Core samples were cut in half, bagged, zip-tied and sent directly to ALS Minerals preparation facility in
About the Trapper Gold Target
The geochemical footprint for the Trapper Gold Target was expanded in 2021 to 4km by 1.5km. The gold-in-soil geochemical signature has a strong positive correlation to Zn-Pb. The Trapper Target represents a volcanic and intrusive hosted gold target. The volcanics are Triassic Stuhini Lapilli Tuff and at least two intrusive phases have been identified as diorite and quartz-diorite, with age-dating ongoing. Visible gold has been identified in core and surface outcrops. Rock grab samples have returned up to 135 g/t Au. Visible gold is recognized in several environments: within base metal-veins-veinlets (sphalerite-galena-pyrite-chalcopyrite); quartz-stockwork, within sulphosalt-pyrite veinlets and disseminate gold in the diorite. In 2021, Brixton completed 15 drill holes between 58-322.17m depth for a total of 3,107.34m, airborne Magnetics and Mobile MT geophysics, and conducted extensive soil and rock sampling. Highlights for the year include visible gold identified in shallow drilling and in outcrop, along with the discovery of two new high-grade copper showings. Additionally, a deep-seated resistivity/conductivity anomaly was imaged with a Mobile MT survey. In 2011, forty-two drill holes were completed, totaling 8581m, where drill hole TG11-11 returned 32.64m of 1.78 g/t Au including 0.41m of 92.8 g/t Au with visible gold. The Trapper Target is royalty free and is one of 14 mineralized targets areas on the wholly owned
