【SMM Flash】Brixton Advances Thorn Resource Expansion, Historic Deposit Contains More Than 55 Million Pounds of Zinc

Brixton Metals has reported the first assay results from its 2026 drilling program at the Thorn Project in British Columbia, Canada. Drill hole THN26-372 at the Glenfiddich Zone intersected 14.75 metres grading 1.25% copper, 1.71 g/t gold and 149 g/t silver, including a high-grade interval of 1.5 metres grading 8.33% copper, 11.3 g/t gold and 971 g/t silver. The company said current drilling is targeting strike and depth extensions of the Glenfiddich mineralized system to support an updated resource estimate.

According to a 2014 mineral resource estimate, the Glenfiddich, Northside and Talisker zones host approximately 7.4 million tonnes of inferred resources grading 35.54 g/t silver, 0.51 g/t gold, 0.13% copper, 0.32% lead and 0.59% zinc, containing an estimated 55.1 million pounds of zinc and 29.3 million pounds of lead. Previous drilling at the Northside Zone in 2025 returned a high-grade interval grading 7.1% zinc and 7.6% lead, highlighting the project's polymetallic resource potential. Brixton has completed seven drill holes totaling 1,736.5 metres at Glenfiddich so far this year and plans to continue resource expansion and upgrade drilling.
