Brixton Metals Expands Thorn Footprint: CEO Gary Thompson on the New Tempest Porphyry Discovery


Listen Later

Brixton Metals CEO Gary Thompson joins the show to break down the company’s newest discovery at the Thorn Project in northwestern British Columbia — the Tempest copper-gold-silver porphyry system, announced in early December. This marks the second new porphyry discovery at Thorn in just over a year, following the Catalyst discovery reported in late October (TSX-V: BBB).

Drawing on Brixton’s latest news release and the company’s December 2025 corporate presentation, the discussion outlines how Tempest emerged from a combination of IP geophysics, soil and rock geochemistry, and first-pass drilling. Thompson explains that Tempest hosts a nearly 2 km² IP anomaly, slightly larger than Catalyst’s ~1.4 km² footprint, and that both zones lie roughly 2 km apart within what is shaping up to be a multi-center, 8–10 km porphyry corridor at Thorn.

Thompson details the results from Hole THN24-601 at Tempest, which cut intervals of porphyry-style veining and alteration with copper-gold mineralization, including intercepts such as 16.6 m of 0.63% CuEq, 27 m of ~0.40% CuEq, and a broader 90 m averaging ~0.33% CuEq. He notes the intriguing near 1:1 gold-to-copper ratio, distinguishing Tempest and Catalyst from the deeper, more copper-dominant Camp Creek system. The geology suggests interlayered reactive and less-reactive volcanic phases, with age-dating underway to determine how these systems relate temporally.

The conversation expands to Brixton’s broader exploration strategy for 2026:
Additional drilling at Tempest and Catalyst, where large footprints and limited drilling create substantial open-ended potential.
• Evaluating deeper targets at Trapper, where notable high-grade gold hits were generated in 2025.
• Continued shallow drilling at Camp Creek to follow up on near-surface breccia- and vein-hosted gold-silver-copper zones.
• Budget ambitions of roughly $10M, dependent on market conditions.

Thompson also provides an update on the Langis Silver Project in Ontario. With silver recently breaking through US$60/oz, Brixton is mobilizing a drill program (targeting mid-January) to extend the high-grade native silver veins around historic workings that previously produced 10.5 Moz at ~25 oz/t. With shallow drilling costs around $200/m, Langis offers high-impact, low-cost exploration upside, with resource delineation now firmly in sight.

The episode wraps with expected near-term news flow: remaining drill results from Trapper and Camp Creek, a comprehensive geochemical dataset, and pending high-grade silver assays from Langis in early 2026.
