The Chechi copper showing is located near the contact of small roof pendant of Carboniferous coarse clastic sedimentary rock of the Stikine Assemblage intruded by Middle to Late Triassic quartz dioritic batholith. Two samples taken at the same location graded 2.3 per cent copper (Figure 6-15, Press Release, Brixton Metals Corp., Dec.15, 2020). Another sample collected about 1200 metres east graded 2.5 per cent. Another sample, located just less than 2 kilometres southeast of the Chechi plot location, graded between 0.1 and 1 per cent.

In 2020, Brixton Metals Corporation announced that it has entered into a purchase agreement to acquire a 100 per cent interest in the Metla mineral claim group of 6,413 hectares from Stuhini Exploration Ltd. In 2020 Brixton completed 3,025 metres of drilling in 16 core holes on the new Central Outlaw and West Outlaw zones on their Thorn property. A total of 1473 rock samples and 5588 soil samples were also collected throughout their expanded Thorn property including the Metla Target area that contains the Metla prospect the RTA-2 showing, and the new Tulin (north of RTA-2) and Metarg showings (further east towards Tatsamenie Lake).

Refer to Thorn (104K 031), Chivas (104K 180), East Outlaw (104K 083) and Oban (104K 168) for details of the work history of the greater Thorn property. See Metla (104K 161) and RTA-2 (104K 193), Borge (104K 160) and Copper Ridge (104K 173) for related information.
