About Brixton and its Thorn Project

Secondary targets include porphyry, skarn, replacement, and bulk tonnage gold targets. The Thorn project covers a Jurassic to Cretaceous volcanic-igneous and sedimentary complex that shares many similarities with other high sulphidation deposits around the world such as Lepanto-FSE in the Philippines, Penasquito in Mexico and El Indio in Chile.
