Mining Stock Daily Brixton Metals Makes Copper-Gold Porphyry Discovery at the Catalyst Target on its Thorn Project
Oct 31, 2025
Gary Thompson, Chair and CEO of Brixton Metals, shares exciting news about a significant copper-gold discovery at the Catalyst target within the Thorn Project in British Columbia. He discusses impressive drill results, including 424 meters of copper-gold mineralization and high-grade intervals that suggest a rich multi-phase porphyry system. Thompson also updates on the Trapper gold target, noting a striking intercept of over 4 g/t gold, and elaborates on how rising metal prices enhance project economics, setting up for promising future exploration.

Episode notes
Major Porphyry Discovery At Catalyst
- Brixton's first three holes at Catalyst returned broad copper-gold mineralization from surface, including 424.3 metres of 0.30% CuEq.
- The discovery sits inside a ~3 km² soil geochem anomaly coincident with a 1.3 km IP chargeability feature, indicating a fertile porphyry system.
Discovery Delayed By Snow, Rapid Follow-Up
- The Catalyst target was only found late in the 2024 season and snow limited follow-up until this year.
- Once snow cleared, Brixton completed mapping, geochemistry and ~20 km of IP before drilling August 1st.
Maricunga-Style Veins Signal Shallow Gold
- Catalyst shows Maricunga-style banded quartz-magnetite veinlets that form in magmatic hydrothermal systems and often host gold.
- These veins imply shallow, gold-bearing hydrothermal activity with typical grades of 0.2–2 g/t Au in analogous Chilean systems.
