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.
