About Transition Metals Corp.

Transition Metals Corp (TSXV: XTM) is a Canadian-based, multi-commodity project generator that specializes in converting

new exploration ideas into Canadian discoveries. The award-winning team of geoscientists has extensive exploration

experience in established, emerging and historic mining camps and actively develops and tests new ideas for discovering

mineralization in places that others have not looked, which often allows the Corporation to acquire properties inexpensively. The

team is rigorous in its fieldwork and combines traditional techniques with newer ones to help unearth compelling prospects and

drill targets. Transition uses the project generator business model to acquire and advance multiple exploration projects

simultaneously, thereby maximizing shareholder exposure to discovery and capital gain. Joint venture partners earn an interest in

the projects by funding a portion of higher-risk drilling and exploration, allowing Transition to conserve capital and minimize

shareholder's equity dilution. The Corporation has an expanding portfolio that currently includes more than 25 gold, copper,

nickel and platinum projects primarily in Ontario, Nunavut, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and

Saskatchewan.
