Following a property-wide assessment utilizing geological, geophysical and geochemical datasets created and expanded between 2024-2026, Brixton will complete initial drill testing of newly identified, structurally-focused targets in the Yellowjacket area. The drill targets are outside of previously drill-tested areas on Pine Creek, leveraging a new geological model for controls on mineralization. The current drill plan is for approximately 6-10 drillholes for a total of 2500m-3000m.

Chairman and CEO, Mr. Gary R. Thompson stated, “It’s great to see the Atlin Goldfields Project receiving some drilling attention. We are looking forward to the results from this initial drill program. While the goldfields of Atlin have been producing placer gold since 1898, very limited hard rock exploration have been conducted within this mining camp.”

About the Atlin Goldfields Project
Article content
The Atlin Goldfields Project is road accessible near the town of Atlin, BC and approximately a 2-hour drive from Whitehorse, Yukon. Since 2016, and over a 3-year period, Brixton consolidated a 579 square kilometer claim group with a focus on locating the hard rock source of the wide-spread placer gold. 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).
