Summary
Brixton Metals argues BHP invested because the copper major needs the next generation of large copper mines.
Brixton's Thorn project covers just under 3,000 square kilometres in a geologically promising part of northwest British Columbia.
The land package (a large contiguous claim area) has already delivered three copper porphyry discoveries, with two being advanced.
Drilling is underway as Brixton looks to add new discoveries that could interest major mining companies.
