VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the "Company" or "Brixton") is pleased to report initial drill results from its near-surface program at the Trapper Gold Target. These results represent the first 9 of 27 holes completed to date at Trapper for a combined total of 5392m. Also, a total of 6 holes for a combined 2960.5m have been drilled at Catalyst and Tempest (assays pending). The Company is advancing its exploration efforts with two drill rigs operating concurrently, one at the Trapper Gold Target and the other at the Catalyst and Tempest Cu-Au Porphyry Targets.

- Hole THN25-335 returned 29m of 1.75 g/t gold and 5.72 g/t silver from 72.5m depth
- Including 7.5m of 3.04 g/t gold and 10.67 g/t silver from 79m depth
- Including 3m of 3.35 g/t gold and 4.95 g/t silver from 98.5m depth

Chairman, CEO, Gary R. Thompson stated, "Drilling at the Trapper Gold Target continues to show promise for expansion of the gold mineralization, notwithstanding that it has proven to be a structurally complex system with post mineral movement. The target remains open for expansion in multiple directions."

Discussion
The results of this news release are the first group of drillholes from the 2025 program at the Trapper Gold Target, representing 9 of the 27 holes completed to date. Holes THN25-327 through THN25-333 were primarily designed to test new zones of mineralization oriented parallel to the main NW-SE mineralized trend (see Figure 2 for collar locations).
A standout result from this batch is hole THN25-335, located at the southeastern extent of the main mineralized zone. This hole returned 29 meters grading 1.75 g/t Au and marks the first in a series of drillholes designed to test the southeastern extension of the main mineralized zone. The mineralization encountered in THN25-335 is spatially associated with a newly identified fine-grained feldspar porphyry intrusive phase. The presence of gold and silver within this unit suggests a previously unrecognized style of mineralization at Trapper, which may complement the structurally controlled base metal vein (BMS) system that defines the core of the mineralized body. Follow-up drilling will aim to evaluate the extent and significance of this intrusive-hosted mineralization.
Encouragingly, and despite the relatively low-grade nature of some of the intercepts, mineralization is present within narrow BMS-style veins and appears to be associated with intrusive phases similar to those hosting the main mineralized trend. This geological continuity suggests the potential for an extension or parallel system to the primary zone. Notably, drillholes THN25-329, THN25-330 and THN25-331 exemplify this mineralization style: THN25-329 returned 33m of 0.43 g/t gold and 3.37 g/t silver from 77m depth. Hole THN25-330 returned 42.78m grading 0.13 g/t gold and 1.64 g/t silver from 44.2m depth, while THN25-331 intersected 58.12m grading 0.22 g/t gold and 1.40 g/t silver from 46.5m depth. The shallow depths, coupled with high grade surface rock sample gold values, reinforce the exploration potential of this area.
Holes THN25-327, THN25-328, THN25-332 and THN25-333 returned no significant results. Hole THN25-334 intercepted a fault zone and was abandoned, no significant results were obtained.

About the Trapper Gold Target
The geochemical footprint for the Trapper Gold Target was expanded in 2021 to 4km by 1.5km with a gold-in-soil geochemical signature that has a strong positive correlation to zinc and lead. The Trapper Target represents an intermediate-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in volcanic and intrusive rocks. The volcanics are Triassic Stuhini lapilli tuff, while the dominant intrusive phase is a Cretaceous quartz diorite dated at 85.2Ma +- 1.2Ma. Results of the 2025 drilling campaign identified a fine-grained feldspar porphyry spatially related to gold mineralization (as in THN25-335). Visible gold has been identified in both drill core and surface outcrops across the Trapper Target area and rock grab samples have returned up to 152 g/t Au and select core intervals of 249 g/t Au over 0.25m. Visible gold is recognized in several environments: within base metal veins (sphalerite-galena-pyrite-chalcopyrite), quartz-stockwork, sulphosalt-pyrite veinlets, and rarely disseminated gold in the diorite. The Trapper Target is royalty free.
Quality Assurance & Quality Control
Quality assurance and quality control protocols for drill core sampling was developed by Brixton. Core samples were mostly taken at 1.5m intervals. High-grade intervals were taken at 1m. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp) and certified reference materials were inserted at a combined rate of 15%. Core samples were cut in half, bagged, zip-tied and sent directly to ALS Minerals preparation facility in Whitehorse, Yukon or Langley, British Columbia depending on available lab capacity. ALS Minerals Laboratories is registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 accreditations for laboratory procedures. Samples were analyzed at ALS Laboratory Facilities in North Vancouver, British Columbia for gold by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish, whereas Ag, Pb, Cu and Zn and 48 additional elements were analyzed using four acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Over limits for gold were analyzed using fire assay and gravimetric finish. The standards, certified reference materials, were acquired from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd., of Langley, British Columbia and the standards inserted varied depending on the type and abundance of mineralization visually observed in the primary sample. Blank material used consisted of non-mineralized siliceous landscaping rock. A copy of the QAQC protocols can be viewed at the Company's website.
