Discussion
The 2024 drill campaign at the Trapper Gold
Target totaled 2,745.60m of drilling across 11 HQ-sized diamond
drill holes of which three drill holes totaling 967.00m are covered
in this release. The program was designed to test the extents and
continuity of the main mineralized corridor along the Lawless Fault
zone through a combination of infill and step-out drilling.
Additional step-out drilling was completed north of the main zone,
following-up on undercover mineralized zones that were identified
during the 2023 drill program. Drilling was planned through a
combination of mapping, oriented core data analysis, geophysics,
and soil geochemistry. Additional assays from the 2024 drill
campaign will be released as they become available.

Locations and Drill Traces at the Trapper Target.
THN24-300 was drilled at an azimuth of 3 degrees
and dip of -50 degrees to a final depth of 260m. Hole 300 was
planned as an infill hole to test gold grade continuity between a
series of previously released holes. Hole 300 successfully
intercepted broad intervals of gold bearing mineralization assaying
254.00m of 0.48 g/t Au and 1.91 g/t Ag from 6.00m depth, including
41.00m of 1.08 g/t Au and 5.36 g/t Ag, and including 6.00 m of 4.19
g/t Au and 22.07 g/t Ag.
THN24-302 was drilled from the same pad location
as hole 300 testing at a steeper inclination above the Lawless
Fault between previous high-grade intercepts and was drilled at an
azimuth of 339.60 degrees with a dip of -70.40 degrees to a final
depth of 185m. Hole 302 intercepted broad intervals from surface
assaying 141.00m of 0.35 g/t Au and 1.37 g/t Ag, including 30.0m of
0.70 g/t Au and 1.96 g/t Ag, and including 10.00m of 0.92 g/t Au
and 1.98 g/t Ag.
THN24-303 was collared 450m northwest of holes
300 and 302 and was drilled at azimuth 47.60 degrees with a dip of
-61.30 degrees to a final depth of 522m. Hole 303 was planned to
target gold mineralization at depth that was previously observed in
hole THN23-278 during the 2023 drill program. The hole was
successful in identifying discrete gold bearing intervals, one at
195m depth around the contact between the Cretaceous quartz diorite
and Stuhini Group volcanics and another around 347m within pre to
syn-mineral intermediate dykes that crosscut the volcanic
stratigraphy in the area. The interval around the 195m contact
returned 18.85 g/t Au and 5.24 g/t Ag over 1.00m and where it
remains open in multiple directions.
Gold mineralization at Trapper is structurally
controlled along the Lawless Fault, trending northwest-southeast
and dipping moderately to the north in the main drilling area.
However, evident by the magnetics image in Figure 2 there are
multiple CVG features that could reflect similar parallel
structures to the Lawless Fault which remain open to test for new
gold potential. Mineralization appears to favour the contact
between the Cretaceous (85.2 +/- 1.2Ma) quartz diorite and the
Triassic lapilli tuffs with broad gold intervals largely hosted
along the faulted contact. The gold is associated with silver and
base metal veins containing pyrite-galena-sphalerite +/-
chalcopyrite +/- bornite, which occur conjugate to the Lawless
Fault. Through a combination of oriented core drilling, surface
mapping, geochemistry and geophysics, the aim is to achieve
predictability of the gold-bearing zones. The current drilling at
the Trapper Target is located 7km southeast from the Camp Creek
Copper Porphyry Target. At surface, the Trapper Target is expressed
as a 4km northwest trending gold and zinc soil geochemical anomaly
which is part of the larger 11km gold geochemical anomaly trending
from Camp Creek to the Trapper Target. Future drilling at the
Trapper Target will focus on identifying new zones of gold-bearing
mineralization undercover within the footprint of this larger gold
geochemical anomaly.

About the Trapper Gold Target
The geochemical footprint for the Trapper Gold
Target was expanded in 2021 to 4km by 1.5km with a gold-in-soil
geochemical signature that has a strong positive correlation to
zinc and lead. The Trapper Target represents an
intermediate-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in volcanic and
intrusive rocks. The volcanics are Triassic Stuhini lapilli tuff,
while the intrusive phase is a Cretaceous quartz diorite dated at
85.2Ma +- 1.2Ma. Visible gold has been identified in both drill
core and surface outcrops across the Trapper Target area and rock
grab samples have returned up to 152 g/t Au. Visible gold is
recognized in several environments: within base metal veins
(sphalerite-galena-pyrite-chalcopyrite), quartz-stockwork,
sulphosalt-pyrite veinlets, and rarely disseminated gold in the
diorite. In 2021, 2022 and 2023 Brixton drilled 3,107m, 9,119m and
6,625m respectively. In 2011, forty-two drill holes were completed
by a previous operator. The Trapper Target is royalty free.
Quality Assurance & Quality
Control
Quality assurance and quality control protocols
for drill core sampling was developed by Brixton. Core samples were
mostly taken at 1.0m intervals. Blank, duplicate (lab pulp) and
certified reference materials were inserted into the sample stream
for at least every 20 drill core samples. Core samples were cut in
half, bagged, zip-tied and sent directly to ALS Minerals
preparation facility in Langley, British Columbia. 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, whereas Ag,
Pb, Cu and Zn and 48 additional elements were analyzed using four
acid digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Over limits for gold were
analyzed using fire assay and gravimetric finish. The standards,
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.
About the Thorn Project
The wholly-owned 2,945 square kilometer Thorn
Project is located in British Columbia, Canada, approximately 90km
