Transition Metals Corp. announced the 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. The Highland Gold property covers an extensive cluster of high-grade gold occurrences in an area that has seen very limited exploration. The property is located approximately 60 kilometres northwest of the city of Sydney, Nova Scotia in the Cape Breton Highlands. It consists of staked mining licenses on crown land that covers approximately 5,408 hectares. The property can be easily reached by a major road (Highland Road) and a network of logging roads. Rocks of similar age and formation are known to host significant gold deposits in the Carolinas, Newfoundland and the British Isles. The regional geologic framework in Cape Breton is interpreted by Transition to be similar to that hosting First Mining Gold's Hope Brook deposit in Newfoundland (844,000 ounces of gold grading 4.77 g/t gold in the Indicated Resource category and 110,000 ounces grading 4.11 g/t gold in the Inferred Resource category) and Oceana Gold's Haile Mine in South Carolina (3.32 million ounces grading 1.77 g/t gold in the Measured and Indicated Resource category and 0.6 million ounces grading 1.4 g/t gold in the Inferred Resource category.
