Assays from core samples returned 6.25 metres averaging 1.07 g/t PGMs including a higher grade section of 4.0 g/t PGM and 0.56% Cu over a core length of 0.30 metres near the interpreted base of a >200 metre thick sequence of early-rift intrusive rocks. The SNI overlies a prominent circular remnant magnetic anomaly, similar to anomalies associated with the Sunday Lake and Thunder Bay North intrusions. Transition noted that the intersected mineralization is associated with the mafic to ultramafic lithologies along the basal contact of the intrusion. The area of interest is comprised primarily of disseminated to blebby pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. According to its website, Transition is seeking a partner to advance the Saturday Night project.
