2021 Exploration Targets
The focus of this year’s program is to advance exploration on the numerous large-scale copper-gold-silver targets with a goal to generate new discoveries and move them into resource categories. In 2020, the Company intercepted porphyry-style mineralization within the
In addition, several new large areas of interest have emerged from the 2020 work, including the West, East and South Copper Targets; the Moly Valley Cu-
Brixton’s phase one program at Thorn in 2021 includes:
- 8,000m of drilling on (1) the core of the Camp
Creek Cu-Au-Ag-Mo Porphyry , (2) the Trapper high-grade gold target and (3) expand the Outlaw gold trend; - 330 square kilometers of MMT and Magnetic geophysical surveys in early June;
- Large scale soil and rock geochemical surveys and extensive geological mapping;
- Collaboration with UBC’s Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) researching porphyry fertility and vectoring;
- Construction and camp upgrades to accommodate 50 people;
- Establish a satellite camp for the Metla Copper-Gold Target area to further define drill targets as part of a potential phase two drill program this season.

- The objective is to test for a high-grade core of the porphyry system;
- Drill multiple well-spaced 1000-1500m deep holes for a total of 4,000-5000m;
- Perform airborne MMT and Magnetics surveys over a 330 square kilometer area which covers
Camp Creek , Trapper, Outlaw and West Targets.
Hole THN20-181 (see Figure 2) was collared between holes 150 and 162. Hole 181 shows an increase in potassic alteration and Cu-Mo grades down hole. Hole 181 intercepted 439m of 0.34% CuEq including 106m of 0.6% CuEq, where the bottom 6m of the hole returned 2.2% CuEq (see
In 2020, drill hole 150 was drilled to 829m and ended in a diatreme where an increase in mineralized porphyry fragments were noted. As previously released, hole 150 returned 554m of 1.97 g/t AuEq from 100m depth (see

Trapper Gold Target
The Trapper Gold Target is located about 8km southeast from the
Surface rock sampling in 2020 identified a new area of in-situ high-grade gold, where ten samples ranged from 6.0 g/t Au to 47.0 g/t Au. The previous operator drilled forty-two drill holes for 8581m in 2011 along a multi-kilometer trend, where many holes returned broad intervals of gold mineralization including some narrow high-grade sub-intervals. Some of the previous drilling highlights include: TG11-11 intersected 34m of 1.7 g/t Au including 0.4m of 93 g/t Au; TG11-40 intersected 27.5m of 1.2 g/t Au including 2.5m of 11.2 g/t Au.
- The objective is to generate a new high-grade gold discovery and expanding the trend;
- Drill 2000-3000m within 20-40 shallow core holes;
- Soil-rock geochemical surveys and structural mapping to further refine the anomaly.

- The objective is to connect the Central and East Targets and extending the gold mineralization strike;
- Drill broadly spaced, shallow holes for a total of 1000-2000m and conduct channel sampling.

Metla Copper-Gold Porphyry Target
The Metla Target is a newly consolidated camp scale copper-gold porphyry target or more likely multiple targets (see
- The objective is to define drill targets;
- In-fill and expand the copper-gold anomalies using soil and rock geochemical surveys;
- Geological and alteration mapping to vector towards the core of the system.
