Brixton Metals Defines New Exploration Targets at Thorn Through Geochemical Sampling

Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Brixton’) is pleased to announce the results from its regional prospecting soil and rock sampling program and the remaining drill results from its 2025 field season at the wholly owned Thorn Project, located in northwest British Columbia, Canada. The company provides a corporate and project update.

Highlights

Soil and rock geochemical sampling conducted within the Camp Creek Corridor has resulted in the identification of multiple new exploration targets. Notably, at the Cirque East Target, porphyry-style mineralization was identified hosted in a monzonite intrusive unit, with assays returning up to 2.16% copper and 39 g/t silver.

At the 95th South Target, high-grade silver mineralization was found in veins, yielding up to 642 g/t silver, 1.47% copper, 3.56% lead, and 1.97% zinc.

At Brixton’s Annual General and Special Meeting held on February 4th, 2026, shareholders have approved, among other items, a ten for one share consolidation, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, which will result in a new post consolidation share count of 71.3 million shares outstanding. The Company believes the current strong metals market, a tight float, and with all four of its gold, silver and copper projects being drilled this year will provide a greater opportunity for share price appreciation.

Chairman, CEO, Gary R. Thompson stated, ‘The definition of new exploration targets through geochemical sampling with boots on the ground has been an effective approach at the Thorn Project as we continue to identify new areas of mineralization. 2026 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Brixton as we unlock potential at Thorn by drilling this year. Meanwhile current drilling at the Langis Silver Project is progressing well. Ivanhoe Electric is drilling at Brixton’s Hog Heaven copper-gold porphyry Project under the Earn-in Agreement and Eldorado Gold plans to drill Brixton’s Atlin Goldfields Project under the Option Agreement. This year will be the first time ever that all four of our projects will be drilled in the same year, so it’s super exciting. Assays from Langis are anticipated in the coming weeks and months.’

Discussion

During the 2025 exploration season at the Thorn Project, Brixton Metals conducted an extensive regional prospecting program, collecting 770 soil samples and 195 rock samples across multiple target zones. Geochemical analysis of these samples identified several new porphyry exploration targets within the Camp Creek Corridor, including the Cirque East target. In addition, high-grade silver veins at the 95th South Target were mapped and sampled. Drilling activities for the season comprised 3,223 meters at Camp Creek, 6,272 meters at Trapper, 2,670 meters at Catalyst, and 601 meters at Tempest. This news release presents the remaining drillhole results for the Thorn Project at the Camp Creek and Trapper Targets.

Camp Creek Corridor Overview

The Camp Creek Corridor is a northwest-trending zone hosting multiple centers of porphyry-style mineralization. This corridor is interpreted to be perpendicular to the Camp Creek Fault, which may have served as a conduit for porphyry intrusions into both the Stuhini volcanic rocks and the granitic units of the Thorn Stock. Key mineralized systems within the corridor include the Camp Creek Cu-Mo-Au porphyry, along with the recently identified Catalyst Cu-Au (see News Release, dated October 30, 2025) and Tempest Cu-Au (see News Release, dated December 1, 2025) porphyries (Figure 3).

In 2025, soil and rock sampling expanded the surface footprint of the Catalyst and Tempest Targets and delineated additional porphyry-style prospects. Of particular note is the Cirque Target, drilled in 2024, which revealed copper mineralization associated with intrusive breccias (see News Release, dated September 17, 2024). Recent mapping and sampling east of the drilled area have confirmed porphyry-style alteration and outlined a footprint coincident with a one-kilometre-long leach cap. Rock-chip samples from this area returned up to 2.16% copper and 39 g/t silver (sample B137847; see Table 1). Intrusive rocks at Cirque-East are characterized by fine-grained monzonites hosting chalcopyrite and molybdenite within quartz veins. The observed Cu-Ag-Mo mineralization, together with granitic intrusive phases and the development of a leach cap, is typical of porphyry deposits. Ongoing work will focus on refining these field results and evaluating the area for potential drilling in the 2026 campaign.

About the 95th South Target

The 95th South Target (see Figure 2 for general location of this target) consists of a series of nearly parallel veins ranging from 30 cm to 2 meters in width, striking ENE-WSE (see Figure 4). These veins are composed of quartz-feldspar with variable amounts of galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, bornite and pyrite. Sampling has returned notable values, including up to 642 g/t silver, 1.47% copper, 3.56% lead, and 1.97% zinc (sample B137851), as well as 414 g/t silver (sample B137859). These polymetallic veins intrude a Triassic quartz-diorite, and in some instances, are accompanied by meter-wide alteration halos characterized by quartz-carbonate and localized sulphide mineralization. Further fieldwork in this area will focus on continuous sampling of these mineralized veins and on testing similar structures.

Trapper Gold Target

Gold mineralization at Trapper is structurally controlled, trending northwest-southeast and dipping moderately to the north within the main drilling area. Mineralization is preferentially developed along the contact between Cretaceous (85.2 ± 1.2 Ma) quartz diorite and Triassic lapilli tuffs, with broad gold intervals largely hosted along these faulted contacts. Gold is associated with silver and base metal veins containing pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and locally chalcopyrite and bornite. During the 2025 field season, drilling at Trapper comprised 6,272 meters across 30 holes. Notably, drillhole THN25-348 was collared from the same pad as previously reported holes THN25-358 and THN25-359 (see News Release, dated December 16, 2025), with mineralized intervals detailed in Table 2.

Drilling at the Camp Creek High Sulfidation Target

The final drillholes completed in 2025 at the Camp Creek high-sulfidation target include THN25-367, THN25-368, THN25-369, and THN25-370 (see Table 2). These holes intersected mineralized sections ranging from meters to tens of meters, associated with polymetallic veins interpreted as the shallow, high-sulfidation expression of the deeper Camp Creek porphyry system. Drilling at Camp Creek covered 3,223 meters across 19 holes and successfully identified high-sulfidation polymetallic veins. Future drilling in this area will focus on further testing the extent and grade of these high-sulfidation veins and on evaluating similar interpreted structures.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Brixton Metals has established rigorous quality assurance and quality control procedures for both drill core and surface sampling. Core samples were typically collected at 1.5-meter intervals, with high-grade intervals sampled at 0.5 meters. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp), and certified reference materials were inserted at a combined rate of up to 15 percent. Core samples were split, bagged, secured, and sent directly to ALS Minerals preparation facilities in Whitehorse, Yukon or Langley, British Columbia, depending on laboratory availability. Rock samples, collected as grab or chip samples, followed similar protocols prior to laboratory analysis. ALS Minerals Laboratories is accredited to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 standards for laboratory procedures. Gold analyses were performed at ALS Laboratory Facilities in North Vancouver, British Columbia, using fire assay with atomic absorption finish, while silver, lead, copper, zinc, and 48 additional elements were analyzed by four acid digestion with ICP-MS finish. Overlimit gold values were determined by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Certified reference materials were sourced from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. in Langley, British Columbia, with standards inserted based on the type and abundance of mineralization observed. Non-mineralized siliceous landscaping rock was used as blank material. The Company’s QAQC protocols are available on its website.
