(TSXV: XTM) (\"Transition\", \"the Company\") is pleased to announce the commencement of a comprehensive remote sensing program, comprised of hyperspectral and LiDAR surveys on its Pike Warden project (\"the Property\") located near Whitehouse, Yukon. In addition, the Company's field crews have mobilized to initiate a program of mapping, sampling, and hand trenching activities on select targeted areas.The Property covers a substantial land package on the margins of the Bennett Lake Volcanic Complex (BLVC). The Company has characterized 18 identified mineralized zones, which demonstrate the significant potential of a much larger epithermal mineralizing system. Drilling of one of the showings in 2022 returned 21.34m grading 91.43 g/t Ag including 1.52m grading 362 g/t Ag (See Company news release dated January 16, 2023). Transition is committed to leveraging cutting-edge technologies, such as those being used in this remote sensing program, along with a strong foundation of scientific work to fully discover the project's exploration opportunities. Scott McLean, P.Geo, CEO of Transition Metals, expressed his enthusiasm about the forthcoming field work, saying, \"We are progressing the project with the initiation of comprehensive hyperspectral and LiDAR surveys on the Pike Warden project. By utilizing advanced remote sensing technologies, we aim to unlock the full exploration potential of this highly prospective area. Our team is excited to commence field work and begin the process of collecting and analyzing data, which will guide our future exploration efforts.\"Remote Sensing SurveysThe Company has engaged PhotoSat, to carry out hyperspectral mapping. PhotoSat utilizes high-resolution multispectral satellite imagery from optical satellites to locate zones of highly altered rocks typically associated with mineralization. The survey is designed to target areas for follow-up ground exploration. This innovative approach will allow Transition's exploration team to focus its exploration programs and help locate and delineate alteration and mineralization zones on the Property. Simultaneously, a property-wide LiDAR survey, contracted to Pion...
