RE:RE:On the lack of large gold discoveries in the recent past:I agree but am also quite optimistic. Like you said we have a two headed monster (actually 4?) if you will. Atlin results due with later follow up work as well as follow up Thorn holes.
Of the 22 Atlin holes I'd hope we get at least a handful to hit significant numbers. I think if they step out at Thorn even a small amount we should get similar values to hole 150 which graded 135.96m of 1.35 g/t Au, 0.31% Cu, 133.62 g/t Ag, 1.61% Zn, 0.89% Pb or
5.00 g/t AuEq over 135.96m in a longer 500 m intersection.

We've had one very impressive intersection from the Oban zone on the Thorn property...hole THN 19-150 which was high grade over a very considerable width. It's going to take dozens (if not 100s) of holes to outline a significant deposit. Have a look at SUNM.v to see the effects of follow up holes that don't meet market expectations.
All that being said, I'm personally optimistic about Brixton's prospects. Some strong intersections from Atlin should hopefully move us into mid 30s, if not higher...speculators/investors love high grade gold, and Atlin has the potential to deliver that given past bonanza grade double and triple digit values.
Obviously its Thorn that has most of us excited, and what drew Sprott into the latest round of oversubscribed, increased financing. Pulling similar grades and thicknesses...or greater...will not only confirm but greatly enhance the potential of this zone, and with that increase market awareness and sp activity (volume and price appreciation).
Have a good day!
