Thorn Project Highlights from 2021
Confirmed a new discovery of a Cu-Au-Ag-Mo porphyry at the
Completed 5770.12m of drilling, consisting of 2662.78m at
Demonstrated gold endowment of the Trapper Target with drill hole THN21-186 yielding 139.00m of 2.14 g/t Au including 11.5m of 19.26 g/t Au including two highest grade intercepts to date of 0.46m of 276.0 g/t Au and 0.50m of 160 g/t Au. The target remains open along strike and at depth
Collected and analyzed 417 rock samples and 607 soil samples which identified several new areas of interest for copper and gold mineralization and extended the gold geochemical footprint of the Trapper anomaly to 4km in length
Completed 1072-line kilometers of Magnetic and Mobile MT geophysical surveys, structural mapping, geochronology and geochemistry supporting an emerging Triassic-Eocene porphyry Cu-Au-Ag-Mo belt with multiple porphyry centers
Expanded and upgraded the Thorn camp capacity to host more than 50 people
Planned 2022 Thorn Program
Drill up to 20,000 meters with a primary focus on the Camp
Secondary targets include drilling at the Outlaw Gold-Silver Target and potentially drilling at the Metla Copper-Gold Porphyry Target
Conduct geophysical surveys over the Metla and Trapper Target areas
Collect 3000 to 5000 soil-rock samples and geochemical modeling on new targets
Collaboration with MDRU to improve our porphyry fertility understanding and porphyry vectoring techniques
Chairman and CEO Gary R. Thompson Stated, 'We are very excited about the new discoveries that were made at the
Collaborators at UBC's Mineral Deposit Research Unit (MDRU) identified four geochemically distinct porphyry phases, with 'porphyry X' being the primary mineralized unit. Porphyry X is a crowded plagioclase porphyry of Cretaceous age, characterized by well-defined stacked biotite, a feature typical of mineral-related porphyry phases. Mineralization is also hosted in

The Trapper Gold Target
The Trapper Gold Target was a major focus of the 2021 season. Following the 2020 acquisition of the Trapper claims and royalties, this was the first full exploration season conducted by Brixton which successfully highlighted the gold endowment of the target.
Brixton drilled 15 holes for a total of 3107.34m. Standout holes include THN21-186 that reported 139.00m of 2.14 g/t Au including 11.5m of 19.25 g/t Au and THN21-195 with 84.00m of 1.1 g/t Au.
The Trapper Target consists of volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Upper Triassic Stuhini group, which are intruded by Cretaceous quartz diorite, interpreted as part of the Thorn Magmatic Suite. The quartz diorite is associated with high-grade gold mineralization at Trapper, including a broad gold zoning that extends into the Stuhini volcanic rocks.
Geochronology was completed at Trapper yielding an age date from U-Pb Zircon method of 85.2 +/- 1.2 Ma for the quartz diorite, the primary lithology which hosts gold mineralization. This Cretaceous age date is contemporaneous with the porphyry host rocks at
The Central
The plan at the Outlaw Target in 2022 is to drill for continuity and extension of gold mineralization between the
