Brixton Metals Drills 2m of 1898 g/t Silver and 5m of 547 g/t Silver at its Langis Project, Ontario
VANCOUVER, March 10, 2021 - Brixton Metals Corp. (TSX: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the "Company" or "Brixton") is pleased to announce further high-grade silver results from its fall/winter exploration program at its wholly owned Langis Project located in the Cobalt Camp of Ontario, Canada. This press release includes assays from 78 shallow diamond drill core holes, LM-20-136 to LM-21-213 totaling 6,810.60m of NQ size core. The drill has been moved to the shaft 6 area where hole LM18-16 intercepted 2m of 10,584 g/t Ag in 2018.
Highlights
- LM-20-166 cut 2m of 1898 g/t Ag from 29.6m, including 1m of 3630 g/t (116.7 oz/t) Ag
- LM-20-165 cut 3m of 635 g/t Ag from 23.0m, including 1m of 1660 g/t Ag
- LM-20-136 cut 3m of 479 g/t Ag from 6.5m, including 1m of 1095 g/t Ag
- LM-21-205 cut 5m of 547 g/t Ag from 95.8m, including 1m of 2600 g/t Ag
- LM-21-207 cut 9m of 272 g/t Ag from 126.3m including 1m of 501 g/t Ag, 0.33% Co
Chairman and CEO of Brixton, Gary R. Thompson stated, "We have now completed the planned 20,000m drill campaign at Langis and are excited to see continued high-grade silver intercepts and meaningful widths from our drilling. While we are keen to reach a maiden resource, we believe that additional drilling and potential bulk sampling may be required to achieve this goal. We plan to determine the next steps for Langis once we have received all the data from this drill program."

Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Diamond drill holes were drilled with NQ size core. Samples were collected using 1m average sample length. Three quality control samples (one blank, one standard and one duplicate) were inserted into each batch of 20 samples. The drill core was cut in half and put in batches, sealed and shipped by the Company geologists to ALS Minerals preparation lab in Sudbury, Ontario. ALS Minerals Laboratories are registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 accreditations for laboratory procedures. Blank, duplicate and certified reference materials were inserted into the sample stream. All elements were analyzed by Aqua Regia Digest with ICP-AES finish. Silver over-limits were analyzed by fire assay with gravimetric finish. Base metal over-limits were analyzed with Aqua Regia Digest and AES finish. A copy of the QAQC protocols can be viewed at the Company's website.
About the Langis Mine Project
Brixton's wholly owned Langis Mine Project is a past producing mine located 500km north from Toronto, Ontario, Canada just north from the northern end of Lake Temiskaming with excellent infrastructure. The silver mineralization occurs as native silver and within steeply-moderately and in some cases shallow dipping veins, veinlets and as disseminations, rosettes and fracture infill and can be associated with calcite, hematite, pyrite, cobaltite, chalcopyrite, niccolite and gold. Mineralization is hosted within any of the three main rock types: Archean volcanics and metasediments, Coleman Member sediments and Nipissing diabase. The Langis Mine produced 10.6Moz of silver at 787 g/t Ag and 358,340 pounds of cobalt. Historically, the combined mines in the Cobalt Camp produced over 550 million ounces of silver with 30-50 million pounds of cobalt as a by-product.
