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 company 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
Company has an expanding portfolio that currently includes more than 25 gold, copper, nickel and
platinum projects across Canada.
