High Grade Au-Ag-Cu Property, Yukon

Historic grab samples of six undrilled high-grade showings have returned results up to

48.10 g/t Au, 11,270 g/t Ag and 7.49% Cu

Property has potential to host a large epithermal-porphyry system within the major

Bennett Lake Caldera complex

Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 28, 2022) - Transition Metals Corp (TSXV: XTM) ("Transition",

"the Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100%

interest in the Pike Warden Au-Ag- Cu Property located approximately 65 kilometres southwest of

Whitehorse (see Figure 1). The property consists of 185 contiguous mining claims totalling

approximately 37 km

2

. The property encompasses historic and recently discovered high-grade

polymetallic gold (Au), copper (Cu), and silver (Ag) epithermal showings that are potentially indicative of

a large epithermal-porphyry system in the major Bennett Lake caldera complex.

To date, limited

exploration has outlined six undrilled high-grade showings that have returned grab sample results up to

48.10 g/t Au, 11,270 g/t Ag and 7.49% Cu as shown in Table 1 below.

These showings are located over

an area of approximately 30 km

2

.

CEO Scott McLean commented

, "The newly discovered showings in this major caldera complex

suggest the potential for a large epithermal-porphyry system.

The property has seen only limited

exploration and we believe that a more thorough and systematic exploration program has the

potential to identify a major polymetallic mineral deposit.

We plan to proceed with an aggressive

exploration program including reverse circulation drilling of the main showings as well as geological

and petrographic work to better characterize and understand the nature and extent of the extensive

epithermal-porphyry system."

About the Agreement

Transition retains the option to earn a 100% interest in the property by issuing $150,000 in cash

($10,000 on signing) and 1,000,000 shares to the Vendor and completing an aggregate of $1,000,000

in work over a 4-year period. If the Company vests its interest, the Vendor will retain a 1% Net Smelter

Return royalty (NSR) and a $1,500,000 Milestone Payment to be paid within 6 months following

Commercial Production being achieve from the Property.

Geology of the Pike-Warden Property

Regionally, the Property is located near the boundary between the Jurassic andesites and siliciclastic

rocks of the Stikine Terrane and Paleozoic gneisses of the Nisling Terrane which are intruded by late

Triassic to Cretaceous intrusions of the Coast Plutonic Complex

2

. There are at least four Late

Paleocene to Early Eocene volcanic complexes of the Skukum Group that in part overlie the older

lithologies, including the Mount Skukum volcanic complex (MSVC) and the Bennett Lake volcanic

complex (BLVC). The MSVC and the structures associated with it's emplacement host the Skukum

Creek deposit. The Skukum Creek gold-silver deposit is estimated to contain an Indicated Mineral

Resource of 1,001,300 tonnes at 7.75 g/t Au equivalent and an additional Inferred Mineral Resource of

537,000 tonnes at 6.22 g/t Au equivalent

3

. The Pike-Warden Property is located approximately 10 km to

the south and associated with the BLVC which is a 19-by-30 km volcanic centre.

The property is underlain by a series intrusions of the Coast Plutonic Complex including the Fenwick

Creek diorite-quartz-diorite, the Mt. McNeil granodiorite, the Nisling leucogranite, and Mt. McAuley

granite. The caldera of the BLVC immediately to the south of the property, with quartz-feldpsar porphyry

rings and NE-trending rhyolite dykes associated with caldera formation located on the property. Work

completed by the Optionor in 2019, 2020 and 2021 has identified a number of new showings associated

with the ring dykes and the NE-trending dykes and associated structures

1

. Mineralization tends to be

concentrated near the intersection of NE and EW trending structures. High silver, gold, copper,

molybdenum and lead values in quartz veins suggest an intermediate sulfidation setting. At the Silver

Train showing, elevated copper and molybdenum values along with quartz-carbonate breccias,

heterolithic intrusive breccias and pervasive epidote-pyrite alteration within granodiorite suggest

potential for a buried porphyry system at depth.
