[{"type":"text","content":"Transition Metals Hits Thick Layered Intrusion with Anomalous Mineralization at Saturday Night Project, Thunder Bay, OntarioHole SN-25-02 intersected 14.00m grading 1.04 g/t PGEs (Au + Pt + Pd) with 0.19% Cu, including 1.86m grading 2.55 g/t PGEs with 0.46% C. Drilling to date indicates a large Midcontinental Rift-style intrusion, suggesting the potential for a sizable mineralized system comparable in scale to the nearby Sunday Lake Discovery.Hole SN-25-03 encountered over 450-metre-thick sequence of rift-related intrusion, with both the upper and lower gabbroic series significantly thicker than intersected in drilling to date.Prominent interval of 'reef-style' mineralization within SN-25-03 with anomalous Ni-Cu intersected within lower gabbroic series indicates proximity to favourable PGM enriched layers at depth along the basal contact that has yet to be tested at this location.Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 26, 2025) - Transition Metals Corp. (TSXV: XTM) (\"Transition\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to share results from its 2025 drilling program at the 100%-owned Saturday Night Project, located 25 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The program included two drill holes totaling 1,417 metres, targeting the basal contact of the mineralized Saturday Night layered intrusion (see news release dated January 15, 2025). CEO Scott McLean commented, \"The thick sequence of differentiated rift intrusion encountered at Saturday Night is highly encouraging. The geology, mineralization style, and geophysical characteristics are strikingly similar to those observed at the Sunday Lake and Thunder Bay North Ni-Cu-PGM deposits. With the platinum market facing a significant deficit for the third consecutive year and strong investment interest driving demand, the potential for thicker, concentrated Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization at depth becomes even more compelling. The presence of a thick layered intrusive sequence and basal cumulate phases intersected in these three holes further supports this potential. We look forward to resuming drilling, following up on deeper mineralization intersections in hole SN-25-03 once funding is secured.\"Discussion of ResultsThe 2025 drill program at Saturday Night (Figure 1) consisted of two holes, totaling 1,417 metres (Figure 2). Hole SN-25-02 was collared at 319,903mE, 5,390,396mN, near the site...
