Transition Metals Identifies Four New Polymetallic Showings at Pike Warden, Yukon, Including Samples Returning >10,000 ppm Silver and 3.4% Molybdenum

Transition Metals Corp. (TSXV: XTM) (‘Transition’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to report assay results from the summer sampling activities at its Pike Warden Project, located near Whitehorse, Yukon. These samples were collected in conjunction with an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey conducted over accessible portions of the Copper North and Copper Junction target areas (see news release dated September 9, 2025). The program aimed to broaden the project’s geochemical coverage across multiple high-priority target areas, including Olympus, Copper Junction, Copper North, ERT, and peripheral targets to the IP survey area (Figure 1).

  • Four new showings identified: Apollo, Typhon, Signal, and Bork
  • Select highlight assay values from different samples range up to >10,000 ppm Ag, 2.8 g/t Au, 1.9% Cu, 3.41% Mo and 4.31% Pb
  • Results from summer sampling refine target areas in connection with the summer IP survey program

Scott McLean, P.Geo., CEO of Transition Metals, commented, ‘The results from our summer sampling work continue to expand our property scale datasets towards vectoring within this large and prospective geodynamic setting. This work has helped us advance targets to the drill-ready stage, particularly at 3 of 5 large system scale target areas.’

Figure 1: Pike Warden Property highlight areas with system scale copper porphyry and/or epithermal gold-silver potential identified on a backdrop of the digital elevation model. Rock and soil sampling results highlight areas of elevated base and/or precious metal mineralization. The new showings are indicated with a green star.

Discussion of Results

In total, 64 grab samples of bedrock and float material were collected and submitted for analysis, resulting in the discovery of four new polymetallic showings across both the Olympus and Copper Junction target areas: Apollo, Typhon, Signal, and Bork. A brief synopsis of sampling results are: four (4) samples returned values higher than 0.2 ppm gold (Au), three (3) samples returned values higher than 100 ppm silver (Ag), three (3) samples returned values higher than 0.1% copper (Cu), four (4) samples returned values higher than 1,000 ppm molybdenum (Mo), and two (2) samples returning values greater than 1% lead (Pb). A selection of highlight values from the summer sampling actives are presented below in Table 1.

Table 1: Highlight Results from Summer Sampling Program

ERT ERT Zone E811860 Float 2.0 >10,000* 0.59 0.00 3.04


* Note: Grab samples of rock (bedrock and float/scree) are selective by nature, and the values reported do not provide direct evidence for the extent or continuity of mineralization. Values stated as >10,000 ppm are over-limit results, which in and of themselves were over-range ore-grade results determined by ore-grade methods.

Drilling Update

Previously Transition announced the initiation of a drill program (Photo 1) at Pike Warden, testing accessible target zones within the Copper Junction area of the Pike Warden Project (see news release dated October 6, 2025). Despite seasonal challenges, the Company is pleased to report it has successfully completed two drill holes. The drill and all auxiliary equipment have been demobilized from the property, and all impacted sites have been remediated in full compliance with permit requirements prior to the onset of winter conditions, including the reduced visibility and challenging weather typical of mountain environments.

Drill core has been transported to Whitehorse for detailed geological logging and sampling. Geochemical and assay analyses will be completed in due course, with results to be released once available. Transition extends thanks to Platinum Diamond Drilling Inc., Archer Cathro (1981) Ltd., and Capital Helicopters for their support in executing a safe and efficient drill program late in the season.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Transition Metals adheres to sampling and analytical protocols that meet or exceed industry standards. Samples are securely stored until they are transported in batches to the ALS Geochemistry facility in Whitehorse, Yukon. Each sample batch includes certified reference materials, blanks, and duplicates, all processed under the control of ALS. The samples were analyzed in Vancouver by ALS Chemex, with ALS Laboratories’ quality system meeting the requirements of International Standards ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 9001:2015. The analysis was conducted using the ME-MS61 method, which reports 48 elements through four-acid digestion followed by ICP-MS. Gold was analyzed using the AU-ICP21 method, involving fire assay fusion with an ICP-AES finish. In cases of over-limit results, gold was determined by fire assay with a gravimetric finish, and base metals were analyzed using ore-grade (OG62) four-acid digestion with an ICP-AES finish.

    About Empire Metals Limited

    Empire Metals Ltd (AIM: EEE and OTCQX: EPMLF) is an exploration and resource development company focused on the rapid commercialisation of the Pitfield Titanium Project, located in Western Australia. The titanium discovery at Pitfield is of unprecedented scale, and hosts one of the largest and highest-grade titanium resources reported globally, with a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) totalling 2.2 billion tonnes grading 5.1% TiO₂ for 113 million tonnes of contained TiO₂.

    The MRE, which covers only the Thomas and Cosgrove deposits, includes a weathered zone resource of 1.26 billion tonnes at 5.2% TiO₂ and a significant Indicated Resource of 697 million tonnes at 5.3% TiO₂, predominantly from the Thomas deposit. Titanium mineralisation at Pitfield occurs from surface and displays exceptional grade continuity along strike and down dip. The MRE extends across just 20% of the known mineralised footprint, providing substantial potential for further resource expansion.

    Conventional processing has already produced a high-purity product grading 99.25% TiO₂, suitable for titanium sponge metal or pigment feedstock. The friable, in-situ weathered zone supports low-cost, strip mining without the need for blasting or overburden removal.

    With excellent logistics and established infrastructure, including rail links to deep-water ports with direct access to Asia, the USA, Europe and Saudi Arabia, Pitfield is strategically positioned to supply the growing global demand for titanium and other critical minerals.

    Empire is now accelerating the economic development of Pitfield, with a vision to produce a high-value titanium metal and/or pigment quality product at Pitfield, to realise the full value potential of this exceptional deposit.

    The Company also has two further exploration projects in Australia; the Eclipse Project and the Walton Project in Western Australia, in addition to three precious metals projects located in a historically high-grade gold producing region of Austria.

    Johnson warns US ‘barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns’ in history

    Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., delivered a stark warning during a Monday press conference on Day 13 of the government shutdown.

    ‘We’re barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history unless Democrats drop their partisan demands and pass a clean, no-strings-attached budget to reopen the government and pay our federal workers,’ the leader of the House of Representatives said.

    The government entered into a shutdown nearly two weeks ago on Oct. 1 after Senate Democrats rejected the GOP’s federal funding plan. They have since blocked consideration of the same bill six more times. 

    During his press conference, Johnson referenced former President Barack Obama telling a crowd over a decade ago, ‘There is one way out of this reckless and damaging Republican shutdown: Congress has to pass a budget that funds our government with no partisan strings attached.’

    ‘What I just read was a direct quote. Those are not my words. They belong to President Barack Obama. He was speaking there in 2013 when our government was shut down for 16 days,’ he said. ‘This would be the third-longest government shutdown in American history, that one would be.’

    He added, ‘If Democrats keep up their obstruction here today, that’s where we’re going to be headed.’

    The longest shutdown in U.S. history lasted 35 days between December 2018 and January 2019, during President Donald Trump’s first term.

    The second-longest was a 21-day shutdown under former President Bill Clinton between December 1995 and January 1996, followed by the shutdown under Obama.

    At this point, the 2025 shutdown is the fifth-longest in history, just behind the 1978 shutdown under former President Jimmy Carter.

    Republicans proposed a seven-week bill extending fiscal year (FY) 2025 federal funding levels through Nov. 21 called a continuing resolution (CR). It’s aimed at giving congressional negotiators more time to strike a longer-term agreement on FY2026, which began on Oct. 1.

    It’s largely free of policy riders — save for an added $88 million in security funding for lawmakers, the White House and the judicial branch — and it has bipartisan support.

    It passed the House along mostly partisan lines on Sept. 19. But Democrats in the House and Senate were largely infuriated by being sidelined in federal funding talks and are now demanding that any spending deal also include an extension of COVID-19 pandemic-era enhanced Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire at the end of this year.

    Israeli hostages reunited with families in emotional moments

    Following Hamas’ release of all 20 remaining living hostages held in Gaza on Monday, pictures and videos are pouring in of their families’ reunifications. 

    The hostages have arrived back in Israel, where they will undergo medical checks after 738 days in captivity. Their release was part of a deal aimed at ending two years of war.

    When Guy Gilboa-Dalal met his family at the initial reception point following his release, his family shouted and hugged him so tightly they were hanging off of him as they went into another room. Moments later, the group posed for a photo.

    Israeli twins Gali and Ziv Berman, 28, were all smiles when they were handed over to the IDF and saw each other face to face. Hostages previously released had said the twins from Kfar Aza were held separately.

    Photos of the first seven hostages to be freed Monday showed them looking pale but less gaunt than some of the hostages freed in January.

    ‘Generations from now, this will be remembered as the moment that everything began to change,’ President Donald Trump declared to the Israeli Knesset during a longer than 40-minute address on Monday. 

    Trump spoke with families at the Knesset building as they expressed their gratitude for helping to bring them back together with their loved ones.

    While Israel started to free hundreds of Palestinians from its prisons, major questions remain unanswered over what happens next, raising the risk of sliding back into war — even as the world pushes for peace.

    The war began when Hamas-led militants launched a surprise attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, in which some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed and 251 were taken hostage.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    GOP lawmaker pushes bill to punish cities that ditched Columbus Day after Trump proclamation

    A new House GOP proposal would withhold funding from U.S. jurisdictions that celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day instead of Columbus Day.

    It comes after President Donald Trump signed a proclamation last week declaring Oct. 13 Columbus Day in honor of the famed explorer as well as the heritage of Italian Americans across the U.S.

    ‘This is about every son and daughter of Italy, every Knights of Columbus, every pasta dinner on Sunday, and every communion — everything that makes our culture who we are, from Philadelphia to San Francisco,’ Rep. Michael Rulli, R-Ohio, told Fox News Digital in an interview.

    ‘Every Little Italy neighborhood of this country celebrates Christopher Columbus. It’s so much more than the man. It’s the people.’

    Rulli’s new bill would both reaffirm Columbus Day as a federal holiday and punish cities and states that replaced the celebration of it with Indigenous Peoples Day.

    ‘We are not going to allow any American municipality to think that they have power over the federal government,’ he said.

    In 2021, then-President Joe Biden formally recognized the second Monday in October as both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples Day.

    The move was lauded by progressive activists and historians who saw Christopher Columbus as the harbinger of a genocide against the land’s indigenous people, millions of whom were killed amid American colonization.

    But Rulli argued that Columbus Day was about honoring Italian Americans’ heritage, pointing out that part of the motivation for its founding in 1892 was the extrajudicial lynching of 11 Italian Americans in New Orleans after the death of a local police chief.

    He added his legislation was not meant to undercut the significance of Native Americans — whom he said deserve their own day of significance.

    ‘I mean, the Native Americans are some of the most amazing, dynamic cultural people that make up the fabric of America. But they need their own special day,’ Rulli said. ‘And I would be willing to do that. I’m saying right now, I would be willing to get the Indigenous people their own day, but not this day.’

    He further accused the Biden administration of undercutting the legacy of both peoples by declaring both holidays on the same day, while praising Trump for restoring Columbus Day’s original meaning.

    ‘I don’t care what party you’re in … if you come from Italian-American descent, you love what President Trump did. It was a wonderful olive branch to all Italian Americans,’ Rulli said.

    ‘By no means, no way, shape or form, is this bill meant to offend any of the indigenous people. They deserve their own day. We will get them their own day, but not Columbus Day. This has already been embedded in our fabric for 130 years,’ he said.

    Kremlin warns it ‘could end badly for everyone’ if US supplies Ukraine long-range missiles

    Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned that if the U.S. supplies Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles, that ‘could end badly for everyone … most of all, for Trump himself,’ according to a Google translation of his Russian-language Telegram post.

    ‘It’s been said a hundred times, in a manner understandable even to the star-spangled man, that it’s impossible to distinguish a nuclear Tomahawk missile from a conventional one in flight,’ Russian Security Council deputy chair Medvedev noted.

    While speaking aboard Air Force One on Sunday, President Donald Trump raised the prospect of supplying Ukraine with the long-range weapons if the Russia-Ukraine war is not going to be settled.

    The U.S. commander-in-chief described Tomahawks as a ‘very offensive weapon,’ noting, ‘honestly, Russia does not need that.’

    Trump has been seeking to help broker peace between the two warring foreign nations.

    Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

    During an appearance on the Fox News Channel, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated that Tomahawks would be utilized for ‘only military goals,’ asserting that Ukraine never attacks Russian civilians.

    Trump credits Iran nuclear strikes for kickstarting Israel-Hamas peace deal

    President Donald Trump told Fox News in an exclusive interview Monday that he credits the U.S. strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites for making the Israel-Hamas peace deal possible.

    Trump made the comments to Fox News’ Trey Yingst in Israel after Hamas freed the remaining 20 living Israeli hostages from captivity in Gaza. 

    ‘I think it really started when we took out the nuclear capability of Iran,’ Trump said, referring to the June strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. ‘When you look at what they had, you couldn’t have made this deal with someone sitting over there with a nuclear weapon over your head.’

    Trump said that other countries around the Middle East were ‘fantastic’ in helping the U.S. broker the peace deal, including Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Egypt.

    ‘That’s the amazing thing,’ Trump said. ‘Everybody came together at this point. If you go back six months or seven months, you would have said a thing like this was impossible.’

    Trump added that even with his impact as the U.S. president, the deal wouldn’t have happened if the dozens of countries that make up the Middle East did not want it to.

    ‘They all wanted this to happen,’ Trump said, ‘and it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.’

    Yingst said Trump emphasized that the Gaza deal is only the beginning of what he hopes will become a wider movement toward peace across the Middle East.

    When asked about the state of Iran’s nuclear program today, Trump said it is nonexistent.

    ‘They don’t have a nuclear program,’ Trump said of Iran. ‘It was obliterated.’

    In June, the U.S. launched Operation Midnight Hammer, the longest large-scale B-2 bombing mission in history, striking Iran’s nuclear sites with 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs.

    Trump had immediately proclaimed Iran’s nuclear program had been ‘completely and totally obliterated,’ though skeptics and opponents of the strikes voiced caution about declaring the mission a success before a final damage assessment was finished.

    Trump also told Yingst that he believes Iran is going to be a country that ‘wants to get back into the world of good economies.’ Trump added that Iran has shown signs of being open to diplomacy and that he has since spoken to Iran’s leadership, though he declined to specify which leader.

    ‘The last thing they’re going to do is get into the nuclear world again because look what it’s gotten them, and I would just have to do it again,’ the president said of Iran and the strikes.

    Trump arrived in Israel Monday morning to coincide with the prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas.

    The 20 living Israeli hostages were released as part of an agreement intended to end the conflict that began with the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas terrorists. Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,200 people and took around 240 hostages in southern Israel during the attack. Two years of fighting in Gaza followed, which resulted in tens of thousands estimated dead.

    In exchange for the remaining living hostages, Israel began releasing around 2,000 Palestinian detainees, including approximately 250 identified as terrorists.

    About Locksley Resources Limited:

    Locksley Resources Limited (ASX:LKY,OTC:LKYRF) (FRA:X5L) (OTCMKTS:LKYRF) is an ASX listed explorer focused on critical minerals in the United States of America. The Company is actively advancing exploration across two key assets: the Mojave Project in California, targeting rare earth elements (REEs) and antimony. Locksley Resources aims to generate shareholder value through strategic exploration, discovery and development in this highly prospective mineral region.

    Mojave Project

    Located in the Mojave Desert, California, the Mojave Project comprises over 250 claims across two contiguous prospect areas, namely, the North Block/Northeast Block and the El Campo Prospect. The North Block directly abuts claims held by MP Materials, while El Campo lies along strike of the Mountain Pass Mine and is enveloped by MP Materials’ claims, highlighting the strong geological continuity and exploration potential of the project area.

    In addition to rare earths, the Mojave Project hosts the historic ‘Desert Antimony Mine’, which last operated in 1937. Despite the United States currently having no domestic antimony production, demand for the metal remains high due to its essential role in defense systems, semiconductors, and metal alloys. With significant surface sample results, the Desert Mine prospect represents one of the highest-grade known antimony occurrences in the U.S.

    Locksley’s North American position is further strengthened by rising geopolitical urgency to diversify supply chains away from China, the global leader in both REE & antimony production. With its maiden drilling program planned, the Mojave Project is uniquely positioned to align with U.S. strategic objectives around critical mineral independence and economic security.

    Tottenham Project

    Locksley’s Australian portfolio comprises the advanced Tottenham Copper-Gold Project in New South Wales, focused on VMS-style mineralisation
