Transition Metals Corp. Announces up to $300,000 Private Placement

Sudbury, December 9, 2019 - Transition Metals Corp. (TSXV: XTM) ("Transition" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it intends to raise up to an aggregate of $300,000 by way of a non-brokered private placement financing consisting of up to 1,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit, for proceeds of up to $150,000 and up to 833,333 flow-through common shares (the "FT Shares") at a price of $0.18 per FT Share, for proceeds of up to $150,000 (collectively, the "Offering"). Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Corporation (each, a "Common Share") and one share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Common Share for a period of 24 months from closing at a price of $0.25.

A finder's fee may be payable in connection with the Offering, as determined by mutual agreement between the Corporation and the finder and subject to regulatory approval. The finder's fee will consist of cash equal to 6% of the Units and FT Shares sold to investors introduced by such finder.

Proceeds from the Units will be used for exploration and working capital purposes. The securities issued in connection with the Offering, including any Common Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, will be subject to a four-month restricted resale period and applicable securities legislation hold periods outside of Canada from the closing date.

Completion of the private placement will be subject to all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. There can be no assurance that the private placement will be completed as proposed or at all.
