Brixton is an exploration company focused on the advancement of its projects toward feasibility. Brixton wholly owns two exploration projects, the Langis Silver project and the Thorn project.
About Langis
The Langis project, including other lands in the Cobalt Camp is 2,520 hectare in size. The project is located 500 km north of Toronto, Canada. The high-grade silver mineralization occurs as steeply-dipping veins within any of the three main rock types; Archean volcanics, Coleman Member sediments and Nipissing diabase. The unmined Langis zone intersected by drilling: 2,115.04 g/t over 9.4 metres and 1,262.80 g/t Ag over 3.9 metres. This area will be the focus for follow up exploration work. According to historical Langis reports, the zone was traced to over 1,000 metres along strike and a vertical extent of 260 metres with true thickness being unknown. The Cobalt camp historically has produced over 420 million ounces of silver with some reported assays reaching 255,146 g/t Ag or 9,000 oz/t Ag over 0.36 metres. http://brixtonmetals.com/langis-mine/
