Project Update

Brixton filed its 2012 Assessment Report on the Thorn Project with the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines. A copy of the report can be viewed at the following link. http://brixtonmetals.com/wp-content/uploads/Thorn2012_Assessment.pdf

The 2012 program at Thorn included; 2,890m of NQ core drilling from 26 holes at the Oban zone; the collection of 362 soil-talus fines samples from the Amarillo area; multispectral ASTER data was acquired; the Oban grid IP geophysical data was inverted into a 3D IP model; petrology for mineralization and alteration was conducted on 6 core samples from the Oban zone.  See link to view a 3D grade shell model of the Oban zone:  http://brixtonmetals.com/thorn-3-d-model/

Brixton identified a Northeast trending (Ag-Pb-Au-Zn) anomaly of 1,000m by 500m in the Amarillo Creek area which in part overlaps with a multi-kilometer scale area of alunite-illite-kaolinte alteration from ASTER data. The geochemical and ASTER data trend is coincident with the 2010 airborne EM geophysical anomaly.

The most significant hole at the Oban zone in 2012 was hole THN12-84, see below as previously released, where 90 percent of the 337m hole was mineralized.

Exploration Plans for 2013

The 2013 program at Thorn is proposed to include: expansion drilling at the Oban zone, drill testing to the south, north and at depth: drill testing the Oban-sister IP anomaly to the east; infill and expand the 3d IP geophysical survey centered around the Oban area; infill and expand soil sampling over the anomalies identified in 2012 in the Amarillo area; infill and expand soil sampling over the large Outlaw geochem anomaly.
