Core Insights - Brixton Metals Corporation has reported initial drill results from its near-surface program at the Trapper Gold Target, with 9 out of 27 holes completed, totaling 5,392 meters drilled [1][8] - The drilling at Trapper shows potential for expansion of gold mineralization, despite the structural complexity of the system [3][10] - The company is actively advancing its exploration efforts with two drill rigs operating simultaneously at Trapper and other targets [1] Trapper Gold Target Highlights - Hole THN25-335 returned 29 meters grading 1.75 g/t gold and 5.72 g/t silver, indicating successful extension of mineralization [6][9] - Additional significant results include hole THN25-329 with 33 meters of 0.43 g/t gold and 3.37 g/t silver, and THN25-330 with 42.78 meters grading 0.13 g/t gold and 1.64 g/t silver [10][6] - The presence of a newly identified fine-grained feldspar porphyry intrusive phase suggests a previously unrecognized style of mineralization at Trapper [9][10] Geological Context - The Trapper Gold Target is characterized as an intermediate-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in volcanic and intrusive rocks, with a geochemical footprint expanded to 4 km by 1.5 km [15] - Visible gold has been identified in both drill core and surface outcrops, with rock grab samples returning up to 152 g/t gold [15] - The mineralization is associated with base metal veins and quartz-stockwork, indicating geological continuity and potential for further exploration [10][15] Drilling Program Overview - The current drilling program at Trapper consists of 27 holes, with 9 results reported so far, focusing on new zones of mineralization [8][10] - Holes THN25-327, THN25-328, THN25-332, and THN25-333 returned no significant results, while THN25-334 was abandoned due to a fault zone [11] - The drilling strategy aims to evaluate the extent and significance of the intrusive-hosted mineralization [9][10]
