Executive Summary

  • Transition Metals Corp. has mobilized a diamond drill to commence a targeted drilling program on the 4,100 ha Pike Warden Project in Yukon.
  • The program will test 17 drill‑ready sites within the Copper Junction target area, identified during the 2025 summer field season.
  • Drilling is expected to last three to four weeks, weather permitting, with core to be logged and sampled in Whitehorse; assay results from the summer program are still pending.

Key Details

  • Project Overview: Pike Warden sits on the northern rim of the Bennett Lake Caldera Complex, a large collapsed volcanic centre prospective for polymetallic porphyry copper and epithermal gold‑silver systems.
  • Historical Highlights: Assays to date include up to 48.1 g/t Au, 11,270 g/t Ag, 7.49 % Cu, 2.37 % Mo, 59.6 % Pb, and 2.61 % Zn from surface sampling; maiden drilling in the ERT Zone (2022) returned up to 468 g/t Ag and 0.19 g/t Au over 1.5 m intervals.
  • Drill Program Scope:
  • Diamond drill mobilized to test select, seasonally accessible targets from 17 pre‑identified sites within the Copper Junction area.
  • Multiple holes planned for fall 2025; anticipated completion in 3–4 weeks, subject to weather.
  • All core will be shipped to Whitehorse for detailed logging and assay.
  • Geophysical Context: Recent IP survey refined low‑resistivity zones and identified a broad area of elevated chargeability east of the Copper North target, with historic grab samples showing up to 5.58 % Cu & 0.76 g/t Au (historical) and 3.63 % Cu & 0.55 g/t Au (2021‑present).
  • Next Steps:
  • Monitor seasonal access conditions throughout the program.
  • Await assay results from summer rock sampling; at least two new showings identified.
  • Qualified Person: Technical content reviewed and approved by Benjamin Williams, P.Geo., Senior Geologist, Transition Metals Corp.
