Brixton Metals (TSX-V: BBB) has announced a significant copper-gold porphyry discovery at the Catalyst target within its Thorn Project in northwestern British Columbia. Chair and CEO Gary Thompson discussed the breakthrough with Mining Stock Daily. The first-ever drill holes at Catalyst intersected broad zones of copper-gold mineralization from surface, including hole THN25-343, which returned 424 metres of 0.30% CuEq, with higher-grade intervals of 98.5 metres at 0.50% CuEq and 16.5 metres at 1.05% CuEq. Thompson said the mineralization from surface, coupled with a large geochemical and geophysical footprint and Maricunga-style veins, points to “a fertile multi-phase porphyry system at Catalyst.”

The company believes the new discovery underscores the potential of the emerging 8–10 kilometre Camp Creek Corridor. Brixton plans additional drilling next season to test the full extent of mineralization at Catalyst and nearby targets. Thompson also provided an update on the Trapper gold target, where earlier this month Brixton intersected 22.15 metres of 4.44 g/t gold, including 1.50 metres of 57.20 g/t gold.
