07 Septiembre 2022 - 7:00AM
Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the
“Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce that its
Earn-In partner Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:
“PBM” or
“Pacific Bay”) has commenced drilling at the Company’s
Atlin Goldfields Project (“the Property”) near the town of Atlin in
northern British Columbia. Pacific Bay has contracted Diamondhead
Drilling to complete a series of drill holes targeting the
Yellowjacket high-grade gold vein system. Pacific Bay holds an
option to acquire up to a 100% interest in the Property from
Brixton Metals Corporation. To earn a 100% interest, Pacific Bay
shall pay Brixton $3.2 million in cash, issue 10 million shares to
Brixton and incur $7 million in exploration expenditures over 7
years. If Pacific Bay completes the Option and acquires 100% of the
Property, Brixton will retain a 2% Net Smelter Royalty, which one
percent is purchasable by Pacific Bay for $2,500,000.
Chairman and CEO Gary R. Thompson stated, “We
are delighted that Pacific Bay has commenced drilling at the Atlin
Goldfields Project and we look forward to their exploration results
in the months to come.”

The initial four drill holes proposed for the
fall 2022 diamond drill program are aimed at confirming historical
results and expanding upon the Yellowjacket mineralization. The
Yellowjacket Zone consists of orogenic gold mineralization confined
along the distinctive Pine Creek Fault system and is located
immediately below significant placer gold production.
About the Atlin Goldfields
Project
The Atlin Goldfields region has been a source of
active placer production for the last 125 years, with gold
production continuing to this day. The 566 km2 land package
underlies the majority of the Atlin placer gold producing creeks
including Spruce Creek, which is the source of Canada’s largest
gold nugget, weighing 85 ounces. The Atlin Goldfields Project is an
orogenic and an intrusion-related gold property with several
promising targets that have been outlined by geology, soil and rock
sampling, geophysics and diamond drilling. Previous exploration has
focused on gold hosted within the mafic and ultramafic rocks of the
Cache Creek Complex, including drilling at the Yellowjacket Target
which intersected 95.1 g/t Au over 32.84m. Approximately 1,000
ounces of gold were produced from the Yellowjacket Mine from
2007-2010, including a 2,880 tonne bulk sample that recovered 599
ounces of gold grading 6.5 g/t Au. Recent studies indicate that the
origin of the Atlin placer gold is not limited to the ultramafic
rocks but also includes veins hosted within sedimentary rocks and
within the Surprise Lake Batholith. The Yellowjacket site has a BC
Ministry of Mines Small Mine Permit (75,000 tonnes per year) in
place, currently under care and maintenance.
