VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brixton Metals Corporation (TSX-V: BBB, OTCQB: BBBXF) (the “Company” or “Brixton”) is pleased to announce the second batch of results from its ongoing exploration at the wholly owned Langis Silver Project, located in the historic silver mining camp of Cobalt, Ontario, Canada. The past producing Langis mine site is located approximately 500 kilometres north of Toronto and benefits from excellent infrastructure, including all-season road access, power, rail connections, and a refiner. The 2026 drill campaign marks a significant milestone, targeting both infill and expansion of established high-grade silver zones. A total of 7510.25m over 39 holes has been completed in 2026, 9 previously released (refer to News Release, March 10, 2026) and 5 holes/1034.80m reported herein.

Highlights

  • Hole LM‑26‑305 represents the best silver intercept encountered by the Company to date in terms of grade‑thickness, returning 18.2 m of 3,638 g/t Ag from 113.8 m depth.
    • Including 6.8m of 9,421 g/t silver from 121.2m depth.
  • Hole LM-26-307 has returned 13.6m of 367.0 g/t silver from 118.4m depth.
    • Including 4.1m of 930.2 g/t silver from 118.4m depth.
  • Hole LM-26-302 has returned 9.0m of 406.9 g/t silver from 116m depth.
    • Including 0.5m of 2,930 g/t silver from 118.35m depth.

Chairman, CEO, Gary R. Thompson stated, “We are delighted to report the second batch of drill results from the Langis 2026 drill program. We were confident that we would hit some high-grade silver given the previous drilling at Langis this year, but these results are extraordinary. The results from hole 305 are more than two times greater than any previously drilled intervals at Langis. It’s great to see the visible native silver in core here, which is a unique attribute of the Langis Project. Given these results, we intend to add a second drill in May to increase our drill density at Langis.”

Discussion

The first drill holes of the season were designed to test silver mineralization south of the Shaft 6 area (Figures 2 & 3). Previous exploration in this area identified silver primarily hosted in vertical, dilatant zones and shear veins, occurring as native silver. This news release reports results from holes drilled on the same pad south of Shaft 6, several of which successfully intersected silver mineralization (Table 1). Most notably, hole LM-26-305 intersected centimetre-scale silver veins (Figure 1). Multiple mineralized intervals were encountered in this hole, with silver largely associated with centimetre-wide native silver and cobaltite veins. Surrounding and extending beyond the high-grade core, a broader mineralized envelope was intersected, forming a mineralized lower grade shoulder that returned a weighted average of 77m of 862.2 g/t Ag (Figure 4).

For more significant results, see Table 1. Drilling continues in the Langis Shaft 6 area, focusing on expanding and infilling known silver mineralization.

About the Langis Project

The wholly owned Langis Silver Project includes a former producing mine, approximately 500 kilometres north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with excellent infrastructure. Silver mineralization is found as native silver and within steeply to moderately dipping veins, veinlets, disseminations, rosettes, and fracture infill, often associated with minerals such as calcite, hematite, pyrite, cobaltite, chalcopyrite, niccolite, and silver. Mineralization is hosted across three principal rock types: Archean Keewatin volcanic and metasedimentary rocks, Proterozoic Coleman Member sedimentary rocks of the Huronian Supergroup, and Proterozoic Nipissing diabase. The geological ore deposit model for this area is a continental-rift extensional depositional environment. Intermittently from 1908 to 1989, the Langis Mine produced 10.4 million ounces of silver at a head grade of 25 opt. Reported silver recoveries at Langis were 88% to 98%. Over 10km of underground workings were developed by previous operators; however, shafts and openings have been capped and sealed. Historically, silver mines in the Cobalt Camp collectively produced over 500 million ounces of silver.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Quality assurance and quality control protocols for drill core sampling were developed by Brixton. Core samples were mostly taken at 1.5m intervals. High-grade intervals were taken at 0.50m to 1.00m intervals. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp), and certified reference materials were inserted at a combined rate of up to 15%. Core samples were cut in half, bagged, zip-tied, and sent directly to the ALS Minerals preparation facility in Sudbury, Ontario. ALS Minerals Laboratories is registered to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 accreditations for laboratory procedures. Samples were analyzed at ALS Laboratory Facilities in North Vancouver, British Columbia, for gold by fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. Ag, Pb, Cu, and Zn, as well as 48 additional elements, were analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Overlimits for silver were analyzed using fire assay and gravimetric finish, and/or fire assay and gravimetric finish on concentrates. The certified reference materials were acquired from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, British Columbia, and the standards inserted varied depending on the type and abundance of mineralization visually observed in the primary sample. Blank material used consisted of non-mineralized siliceous landscaping rock. A copy of the QAQC protocols can be viewed at the Company’s website.
