Brixton Metals Discovers Multiple Porphyry Systems at the North Target on its Thorn Project

Core Insights - Brixton Metals Corporation has announced successful drill results from the North Target of its Thorn Project, indicating the presence of a molybdenum-copper porphyry system with significant mineralization starting from the surface [1][2]. Exploration Highlights - The maiden drill program at the North Target has intercepted a Mo-Cu porphyry system with mineralization starting from the surface, featuring multiple generations of porphyry-style quartz and quartz-anhydrite veins hosting molybdenite, pyrite, and chalcopyrite [2]. - Anomalous copper and molybdenum were found within multi-kilometer scale alteration zones, indicating extensive hydrothermal alteration [2]. - A ground magnetotelluric geophysical survey has identified numerous conductive features correlating with hydrothermal alteration zones [2]. - The exploration results highlight the discovery potential of the Thorn Project, with multiple metallogenic epochs identified [2][24]. Drill Results - Drill hole THN24-312 returned 638.00m of 0.023% Mo and 0.04% Cu from 12.00m, including 55.00m of 0.047% Mo and 0.05% Cu from 595.00m [4][10]. - Drill hole THN24-313 returned 409.00m of 0.013% Mo and 0.06% Cu from 12.00m, including 19.00m of 0.12% Cu from 275.00m [4][12]. - The Wild Moly target has shown strong quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration with significant copper grades, indicating the potential for higher-grade zones [9]. Geological Context - The North Target is located in an area with limited historical exploration, underlain by Stuhini Group upper Triassic mafic volcanics and Laberge Group lower Jurassic sedimentary rocks, intruded by multiple Late Cretaceous to Eocene intrusions [7]. - The 2024 field season included a SPARTAN Magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical survey and four drill holes totaling 2,266m, confirming the presence of a porphyry system at the Main Gossan [8][16]. Future Exploration Plans - Further exploration will utilize geochemistry from surface and drilling data, hyperspectral data, and geophysics to target additional porphyry centers within the 11km by 4km area of porphyry-style alteration [25].
