Transition Metals (TSX-V:XTM) is planning additional geophysical surveys and 3D modelling to enhance drill targeting at the Saturday Night Platinum Group Element (PGE) Project in Ontario, after receiving assays from a recently completed drill program.
The company is actively expanding its understanding of the Saturday Night PGE-rich intrusion and is conducting various studies and 3D modelling activities. These activities include physical rock-property analysis, to better constrain geophysical inversion models.
As part of the recently completed drill program, all holes intersected broad intervals of PGE-nickel-copper mineralisation occurring along the basal contact of the Saturday Night layered intrusion.
CEO Scott McLean says thick sequences of differentiated mid-continental rift (MCR) intrusion has been drilled at Saturday Night.
“We see similarities to the proximal phases to the higher grade sequences we previously encountered at our nearby Sunday Lake discovery, where historical drilling in 2019 returned values including 41.20m of 5.51 grams per tonne platinum+palladium+gold (3E PGE) and 0.57% copper, including a higher grade interval of 8.30m of 13.06g/t 3E PGE and 1.23% copper in hole SL-19-26,” McLean says.
“These results reinforce our interpretation that Saturday Night represents a large, fertile magmatic system and further supports its potential to host higher grade mineralisation similar to that identified at Sunday Lake.”
Some of the latest results include 14.44m @ 0.61g/t 3E PGE and 0.13% copper, including 4.64m @ 1.24g/t 3E PGE and 0.21% copper; and 10.33m @ 0.38g/t 3E PGE and 0.17% copper.
To date, five holes have been drilled for 3,481m at Saturday Night. The program expands the known mineralised footprint, now measuring 800m by 200m and remains open in all directions.
Transition Metals is a Canada-based multi-commodity explorer. The company will be exhibiting in person at the AME Roundup 2026 in Vancouver on 28-29 January 2026.
As previously reported, AME Roundup 2026 brings delegates, exhibitors, sponsors, students, government, and indigenous leaders to connect and grow viable exploration projects. This year’s event explores the theme ‘minerals for a changing world’, which represents searching, discovering, and developing mineral deposits to ensure the world has minerals that it needs.
