Brixton Metals Corp. [BBB-TSXV; BXTMF-OTC] has discovered a kimberlitic body at its Langis Project, a past-producing silver-cobalt mine near Cobalt, northeast Ontario. The company sent a total of 53.6 kilograms collected from the three holes that intersected the kimberlitic rock to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories Diamond Services (GLDS) in Saskatoon for micro - diamond recovery tests. Microdiamond recovery tests returned one diamond from the kimberlite intersected in drill hole LM-18-37. There are other known diamond- bearing kimberlite pipes in the region near Cobalt, Haileybury and across Lake Temiskaming in Notre Dame du Nord. Gary R. Thompson, Chairman and CEO of Brixton, stated, "We are very intrigued by this discovery. We were targeting cobalt-nickel-silver mineralization in the shallow Archean rocks when we encoun - tered the kimberlitic material. The fact that we recovered a diamond fragment given that the kimberlite sample size was very small is an exciting discovery. The kimber- lite in hole 36 to hole 37 is 149 metres apart and the distance of the kimberlite from hole 37 to the kimberlite in hole 34 is 515 metres. This has piqued our interest as to whether a very large kimberlite pipe or a series of pipes exists." Vice-President of Exploration for Brixton, Sorin Posescu, said, "This is defi - nitely an interesting time for Brixton and for the Langis Project. We are excited to have discovered diamond-bearing kim- berlitic rocks and look forward to doing additional work to understand the full extent and the economic potential of this discovery. The Langis Project is very well located with excellent infrastructure, year- round road and rail access, power, and low-cost drilling, which ultimately trans - lates to a low cost of exploration." The company is planning further core and reverse circulation drilling to test for the extent of the kimberlitic body. The company will consult with some of the top diamond exploration experts to assist with the evaluation and assessment of this new discovery. Brixton's Langis Mine produced 10.4 million ounces of silver grading 25 oz/ton silver and 358,340 pounds of cobalt, and its nearby Hudson Bay Mine produced 6.4 million ounces of silver at 123 oz/ton sil - ver and 185,570 pounds of cobalt. Brixton has conducted over 7,200 metres of drill- ing on the Langis and Hudson Bay projects combined. This drilling has confirmed the presence of high-grade cobalt and silver mineralization. Historically, the Cobalt Camp has pro - duced 50 million pounds of cobalt as a by-product of 500 million ounces of silver production and is the scene of a number of exploration activities targeting the battery metal cobalt. n
