About the Atlin Goldfields Project

The Atlin Goldfields Project is road accessible near the town of Atlin, BC and about a 2-hour drive from Whitehorse, Yukon. Since 2016, and over a 3-year period, Brixton has consolidated its wholly owned 579 square kilometer claim group with a focus on locating the hard rock source of the placer gold within the mining camp. The Atlin Goldfields Project covers several orogenic and intrusion-related gold targets. The Atlin gold camp has been producing gold for 125 years and is the second largest placer gold producer in British Columbia with a reported 600,000 ounces of gold produced between 1898 and 1945. An estimated additional 400,000 ounces of gold have been produced since the record keeping ceased in 1946 (Ash 2001). The two major placer producing creeks (Pine and Spruce) and many of the other productive creeks are located within the Atlin Goldfields Project. The Atlin gold camp holds the provincial record for the largest gold nugget, which weighed 2.6 kg (85 ounce) and was discovered on Spruce Creek (BCGS Paper 2017-1, p.179-193).

Brixton’s rock samples of coarse-grained quartz veins have returned values of up to 293 g/t gold from the LD Showing in 2017 and 53.60 g/t gold from the Union Mountain Showing in 2020. Historical diamond drilling at the Yellowjacket Target has returned up to 509.96 g/t gold (16.39 oz/ton gold) over 5.57m. Brixton’s drilling in 2023 returned 35.00m of 0.77 g/t gold including 19.00m of 1.34 g/t gold including 0.45m of 38.10 g/t gold at the Yellowjacket Target. In 2019, Brixton drilled 8.53 g/t gold over 2.00m at the LD showing.

The Atlin Goldfields Project is located on the margin of a deep-seated structural and terrane boundary. The Project is underlain primarily by Mississippian to Triassic-aged volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Cache Creek Complex, including quartz-carbonate-mariposite-altered ultramafic to listwanite and mafic rocks, which are commonly associated with the gold mineralization in the region. The Cache Creek Complex is intruded by the Middle Jurassic Fourth of July batholith and the Late Cretaceous Surprise Lake batholith.

Over 39,500m of drilling has been completed across the property including 1,599m in 2019 at LD and Pictou (22 collars), 292m in 2022 at Yellowjacket (2 collars), and 350m in 2023 at Yellowjacket (1 collar)

Brixton has collected and compiled thousands of surface samples: 2,140 rock samples, 12,650 soil samples, 210 silt samples and 23 associated bulk leach extractable gold samples (BLEG) and 161 biogeochemical samples.

A total of 6,563-line kms of magnetic geophysical surveys have been completed across the project area.
