VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQX: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce initial drill results of the 2026 season from its wholly owned Thorn Project located in NW British Columbia, Canada. The Thorn Project is an underexplored copper-gold porphyry district with several large-scale exploration target areas identified.
Highlights
- Step-out drilling was successful in extending the Glenfiddich Zone mineralization 20m west and remains open along strike and down dip
- Hole THN26-372 returned 14.75m of 1.25% copper, 1.71 g/t gold, 149.00 g/t silver from 84.25m depth
- Including 1.50m of 8.33% copper, 11.30 g/t gold, 971.00 g/t silver
- Hole THN26-372 also returned 6.12m of 0.48% copper, 0.45 g/t gold, 56.21 g/t silver from 53.38m depth.
- Including 1.00m of 2.24% copper, 1.22 g/t gold, 249.00 g/t silver from 56m depth

Chairman, CEO, Gary R. Thompson stated, “We are excited to report the initial drill results from the 2026 season at the Thorn Project. We believe that the near surface Glenfiddich Zone represents feeder structures related to the Camp Creek porphyry at depth. Current drilling is targeting the down dip and strike extension of this zone to inform and update the 2014 Mineral Resource Estimate along with other near surface vein-breccia mineralization within the Camp Creek Corridor.”

| Hole ID | From | To | Interval | Copper | Gold | Silver |
| | meter | meter | meter | % | g/t | g/t |
| THN26-372 | 53.38 | 59.50 | 6.12 | 0.48 | 0.45 | 56.21 |
| including | 56.00 | 57.00 | 1.00 | 2.24 | 1.22 | 249.00 |

| including | 90.00 | 91.50 | 1.50 | 8.33 | 11.30 | 971.00 |
Assay values are weighted averages. Reported intervals are drilling length and the true width of the mineralized intervals has not yet been determined.
Discussion
The objective was to expand the northeast trending mineralization identified in previous drilling at the Glenfiddich Zone to update the 2014 Mineral Resource Estimate (refer to news release dated October 29, 2014).
Hole THN26-372 was collared and drilled at an azimuth of 150 degrees with a dip of -70 degrees to depths of 99.00m. Another hole was drilled from the same pad, THN26-371, at an azimuth of 150 degrees with a dip of -60 degrees, to a depth of 150.00m with assays still pending. These collars are located 28m to the northwest from hole THN25-322 (Figure 2). Hole THN25-322 intersected 16.00m of 3.40 g/t gold, 96.08 g/t silver, and 0.59% copper, including 3.00m of 8.16 g/t gold, 159.66 g/t silver and 0.73% copper. Mineralization such as quartz-breccia-pyrite-sulphosalt-sphalerite-galena with trace bornite-covellite is hosted within a pervasively sericite-pyrite altered diorite porphyry unit.
Drilling continues on the target, with 7 holes completed to date, including THN26-372, totalling 1,736.50m, with assays pending.

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 0.50 to 1.50m intervals. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp) and certified reference materials were inserted at a combined rate of up to 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.
