The Metarg 2 showing area, located 3 kilometres west of Tatsamene Lake, is underlain by a Mid to Late Triassic pluton consisting of quartz diorite. The pluton is intruded into undivided Mississippian volcanic rock of the Stikine Assemblage. The showing is centred on a copper mineralized sample that graded 1.3 per cent copper (Figure 6-15, Press Release, Brixton Metals Corp., Dec.15, 2020). Several other very copper anomalous samples were collected to the northwest, in the area of a gabbroic to dioritic phase or intrusion.
In 2020 Brixton Metals Corporation 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 from the Metla Target area that contains the new Metarg showings.
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. Also see Metarg 1, 3 and 4 for related information.
