Transition Metals Resumes Exploration at its Pike Warden Epithermal-Porphyry Project, Yukon
Transition Metals (TSXV: XTM) has initiated its summer exploration program at the Pike Warden Project in southern Yukon, Canada. The project, located on the northern rim of the Bennett Lake Caldera Complex, shows significant potential for gold-silver epithermal and copper porphyry deposits.
The company plans to conduct a high-resolution ground-based IP survey at the Copper Junction and Copper North target areas, alongside prospecting and geological mapping. Previous exploration has yielded impressive results, including samples with up to 48.1 g/t Au, 11,270 g/t Ag, 7.49% Cu, and 2.37% Mo. The company has identified four primary targets through advanced geophysical analysis and plans to initiate drill testing this fall.

Transition Metals (TSXV: XTM) hat sein Sommer-Explorationsprogramm am Pike Warden Projekt im südlichen Yukon, Kanada, gestartet. Das Projekt, das am nördlichen Rand des Bennett Lake Caldera Komplexes liegt, weist ein erhebliches Potenzial für epithermale Gold-Silber- und Kupfer-Porphyr-Lagerstätten auf.
Das Unternehmen plant eine hochauflösende bodengestützte IP-Untersuchung in den Zielgebieten Copper Junction und Copper North sowie Prospektion und geologische Kartierung durchzuführen. Frühere Erkundungen haben beeindruckende Ergebnisse geliefert, darunter Proben mit bis zu 48,1 g/t Au, 11.270 g/t Ag, 7,49% Cu und 2,37% Mo. Durch fortgeschrittene geophysikalische Analysen hat das Unternehmen vier Hauptziele identifiziert und plant, diesen Herbst Bohrtests zu beginnen.
- Strong exploration results with high-grade samples showing up to 48.1 g/t Au and 11,270 g/t Ag
- Recent Fostung sale provides improved financial position for exploration
- Comprehensive exploration data with over 1,800 rock and soil samples collected
- Four large-scale targets identified through advanced geophysical analysis
- Fall drilling program subject to interpretation of results and market conditions
- Early-stage exploration project with no defined resource estimates yet
- Field program initiated. Planned work includes IP geophysics, mapping, and sampling.
- Preparation for fall program of drilling to test best targets.
Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 21, 2025) - Transition Metals Corp. (TSXV: XTM) ("Transition" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of its summer exploration program at the Pike Warden Project ("the Project"), an epithermal gold-silver and porphyry copper opportunity located in southern Yukon, Canada. The Project sits on the northern rim of the Bennett Lake Caldera Complex, one of Canada's largest collapsed volcanic centres. The geodynamic characteristics of this environment are highly prospective for the formation of large-scale polymetallic mineral systems.
Company CEO, Scott McLean, commented: "With the proceeds from the recent Fostung sale (see news release dated June 27, 2025), we are now much better positioned to undertake programs of work to advance our Key Projects. The work planned this summer will set the stage for drill testing in the Copper Junction, Copper North and ERT target areas at Pike Warden this fall."
2025 Work Plans:
A high-resolution ground-based induced polarization (IP) survey will be completed to cover the Copper Junction and Copper North target areas, interpreted to be potential large-scale porphyry centres. The survey will be coupled with a program of prospecting and geological mapping within select areas on the property to refine and delineate both the Copper North and Copper Junction targets, along with the ERT Zone epithermal gold-silver target. The deliverables from this program will assist in targeting a drill program this fall, subject to the interpretation of results and market conditions.
Work Completed:
To date, more than 1,800 rock and soil samples have been collected, returning elevated concentrations of gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and molybdenum (Mo). With over 25 polymetallic showings discovered to date across the property, may yielding exceptional assays, including values up to 48.1 g/t Au, 11,270 g/t Ag,
About the Pike Warden Project
The Pike Warden Project, located 65 kilometres south of Whitehorse, Yukon, within the traditional territory of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation, is an emerging high-grade polymetallic epithermal gold-silver and porphyry copper property. The Company owns or has the option to own

The Project encompasses a combination of historic and recently discovered high-grade polymetallic occurrences, with bedrock and scree sampling across the property returning highlight values up to 11,270 g/t Ag, 48.1 g/t Au,
Mineralization appears to be spatially associated with large-scale structures, particularly at their intersections. Concentric structures interpreted as caldera collapse features are intruded by porphyritic "ring" dikes of the Bennett Lake Volcanic Complex. The second structural trend of northeast-trending structures identified across the property is believed to relate to a broader regional caldera collapse hinge zone. A combination of overlapping higher-temperature alteration styles, metal zonation, and zones of increased vein and fracture density appears to indicate a mineralizing porphyry copper system(s) exposed at varying erosional levels, interpreted to be controlled or bounded by the caldera collapse structures.
