Brixton Metals begins drilling at Langis

BBB · Price

Executive Summary

  • Brixton Metals Corp. has commenced its fully financed 2026 Phase 1 drill campaign at its wholly owned Langis Silver Project in Ontario’s historic Cobalt camp.
  • The campaign targets approximately 15,000 metres of shallow near-surface drilling to expand and infill high-grade silver zones, explore new structural trends, and establish the groundwork for a maiden mineral resource estimate.
  • Historical exploration has yielded exceptional high-grade silver results, including 15 intercepts exceeding 1,000 g/t Ag and 8 intercepts exceeding 5,000 g/t Ag, alongside rock grab samples returning up to 182,065 g/t Ag.

Key Details

  • 2026 Drill Campaign: Fully financed Phase 1 program comprising ~15,000m of shallow near-surface drilling.
  • Primary Objectives: Expand and infill established high-grade silver zones; explore new mineralization along structural trends; lay groundwork for an independent maiden mineral resource estimate.
  • Historical High-Grade Silver Intercepts (>1,000 g/t Ag):
  • Shaft 3: 11 m of 2,592 g/t Ag (including 4 m of 7,018 g/t Ag)
  • Shaft 3: 17 m of 970 g/t Ag (including 11 m of 1,289 g/t Ag)
  • Central Area: 27 m of 348 g/t Ag (including 9 m of 1,037 g/t Ag)
  • Shaft 6: 17.6 m of 1,251 g/t Ag (including 1 m of 15,436 g/t Ag)
  • Shaft 6: 71 m of 121 g/t Ag (including 4 m of 1,186 g/t Ag)
  • Aggregate Historical Results: 220 intervals exceeding 100 g/t Ag; 15 intercepts >1,000 g/t Ag; 8 intercepts >5,000 g/t Ag.
  • Rock Grab Samples: Up to 182,065 g/t Ag recovered from the shaft 7 dump.
  • Gold Mineralization: Locally observed but largely underexplored. Examples include Hole LM-16-003 (4.15 m of 4.90 g/t Au, including 0.22 m of 74 g/t Au) and Hole LM-22-254 (0.5 m of 3.88 g/t Au).
  • Historical Drilling Volume: Over 40,315 m drilled since 2016 across five campaigns, primarily focused on high-grade silver near historical workings.
  • Geology & Host Rock: Silver mineralization occurs as native silver and silver arsenide in vertical dilatant zones and shear veins. Mineralization is concentrated near Nipissing diabase contacts and the unconformity between Archean Keewatin basement and Huronian sediments.
  • Historical Mine Production: Langis mine operated intermittently from 1908 to 1989, producing 10.4 million ounces of silver at a head grade of 777.5 g/t Ag (25 oz/t) with 88% to 98% recovery. Over 10 km of underground workings were developed.
  • Technical Note: All reported drill intercepts represent drilled lengths; true width has not been determined.

Notable Quotes

  • Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO: "We are excited to commence drilling at the Langis silver project at a time when silver prices are exceptionally strong. This highly favourable silver market allows us to maximize the value of our exploration efforts for shareholders. Our main goal with this drill program is to expand the high-grade silver zones with sufficient drilling to establish an independent maiden mineral resource estimate at Langis. While most of the drilling by Brixton has focused on brownfield work in and around the mine workings, much of the project with favourable geology has yet to be drill tested, so the new discovery potential remains very high on the project."
