Brixton Metals Commences Phase Two, 2012 Drill Program At Thorn

VANCOUVER, Oct. 2, 2012 /CNW/ - Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB) (the "Company" or "Brixton") announces the start of its Phase two, 2012 drill program at the Thorn Ag-Au-Pb-Zn-Cu project located in Northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

Crews were mobilzed to the Thorn Project on September 28th, 2012. The current phase of exploration will focus on drilling at the Oban breccia zone and soil sampling in the upper Amarillo creek drainage area.

The Oban breccia zone drill program is designed to test the extension of high grade silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization and shall consist of 1500m to 2000m of drilling, with holes ranging from 50m to 300m in depth.

The Amarillo area being surveyed will include an area that Brixton has recently acquired multispectral Aster data for, which shows a broad area of alunite and illite alteration. This area is the headwaters for Amarillo creek where prospecting in 2005 discovered a float boulder returning 265 g/t Au and 631 g/t Ag which has not yet been followed up.


Oban Zone Highlights:

- Hole THN11-60 intersected 9.25m of 3,646 g/t AgEg (2,984.40 g/t Ag, 3.04 g/t Au, 11.65% Pb, 3.42% Zn and 0.53% Cu) near surface, within a broader interval of 95.08m grading 904.0 g/t AgEq (628 g/t Ag, 1.71 g/t Au, 3.31% Pb and 2.39% Zn)

- Hole THN11-57 showed increasing Au and Cu grades at depth within the Oban breccia zone, exemplified by the intersection of 7.80m grading 717.0 g/t AgEq (197 g/t Ag, 6.13 g/t Au, and 1.38% Cu) within a broader interval of 18.58m grading 453.0 g/t AgEq (103 g/t Ag , 4.1 g/t Au, and 0.93% Cu) starting at a vertical depth of 201m below surface

- Hole THN12-65 intersected 12.90m of 769.42 g/t AgEq (512.66 g/t Ag, 1.72 g/t Au, 4.24% Pb and 1.54% Zn) with a broader interval of 83.90m grading 296.50 g/t AgEq (161.81g/t Ag, 1.03 g/t Au, 1.29%Pb and 1.49% Zn)

Other Significant Highlights at Thorn:

- Mineralization expansion at the Talisker zone from 200m to 500m strike length, where the best intersection found grades of 407.90 g/t Ag, 4.44 g/t Au and 2.95% Cu over 4.20 m in hole THN05-37

- Hole THN11-56 confirmed the presence of unconformity-related mineralization intersecting 0.9m grading 12.35 g/t Au, 138 g/t Ag and 0.49% Cu within 19.78m of 35.5 g/t Ag, 1.02 g/t Au and 0.3% Cu

- Discovery of the Lagavulin Vein where hole THN11-54 intersected 4.85m of 3.13 g/t Au and 122.46 g/t Ag. The Lagavulin Vein has a strike length greater than 2km and crosscuts the Talisker zone trend

- Hole THN11-45 intersected 0.74m of 4.14% Cu, 384 g/t Ag and 1.22 g/t Au on the MP Vein.

Mr. Gary R. Thompson, Chairman & CEO stated, "We are excited to be back on the property continuing our exploration efforts at the Thorn project. While numerous targets remain untested on the property our current focus is the high grade at the Oban breccia zone."


About The Thorn Project

The 25,000-hectare Thorn Property is located in the Sutlahine River area of Northwestern British Columbia, Canada approximately 50km from the past producing Golden Bear Mine. Thorn is a Cretaceous porphyry complex that shares many similarities with other high sulphidation epithermal gold, silver and copper deposits around the world such as Lepanto in the Philippines and El Indio in Chile. There are several separate porphyry intrusive phases and at least one related breccia body outcrop on the property. In addition to the high-grade potential of the Thorn project, the geological setting indicates potential for porphyry type mineralization. The Oban Zone Ag-Au-Pb-Zn-Cu breccia-hosted mineralization is located in the heart of a 6km mineralized corridor within the central portion of the property. Brixton Metals Corporation holds a two-phase option agreement with Rimfire Minerals Corporation (now Kiska Metals Corporation). Brixton can earn either a 51% or 65% interest by making cash and share payments and incurring $5 million and $10 million in exploration expenditures respectively. Kiska may elect to form a Joint Venture with Brixton at the 49/51 or 35/65 stage, or take dilution. Brixton shall be the operator in either case.
