[{"type":"text","content":" Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 15, 2019) - Transition Metals Corp (TSXV: XTM) (\"Transition\", \"the Company\") is pleased to announce assay results from a Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling program completed in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Of note, hole TMRB-18-01 intersected 9.14 metres grading 23.22 grams per tonne (g/t) gold including 3.05 metres grading 49.54 g/t (1.6 ounces per tonne gold) at the Main Zone before ending in mineralization at a depth of 21.34 metres. The hole was completed as part of an initial test program to assess the effectiveness of RAB drilling to recover samples of near surface oxidized and weathered bedrock and to test for a southward extension to a historically identified zone of sub-cropping mineralization called the Main Zone. In total, 7 holes for 200 metres were completed on the property before the onset of winter conditions in the Highlands forced the Company to demobilize until weather conditions improve this spring. Transition holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the property. The Company will host a webinar on Wednesday January 16th at 10am EST to discuss the results.

We recognized that this high degree of weathering near surface required a different tool kit in order to explore more effectively. Since acquiring the property last fall, our work has highlighted numerous exploration targets associated with mineralized structures, prospective alteration and till anomalies that support the potential for a multi-kilometre scale gold system on the property. The Main Zone is one of 30 mineralized zones identified to date on the property. Given the strongly weathered nature of the bedrock setting, RAB drilling has proven to be an effective tool to inexpensively and rapidly screen numerous targets moving forward.\" Table 1 presents a summary of drilling results obtained from this program.
