Domestic Metals identifies targets at Smart Creek

DMCU · Price

Executive Summary

  • Domestic Metals Corp. completed an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey at its Smart Creek copper-gold-silver project in Montana, identifying widespread chargeability features that support porphyry and carbonate replacement deposit (CRD) targets.
  • The survey delineated four high-priority drill targets: Smart Creek, Smart Creek Exotic, Sunrise, and Radio Tower, with features interpreted as previously untested magmatic-hydrothermal sulphides.
  • CEO Gord Neal confirmed that these refined targets, combined with recent high-grade surface sampling, will drive a drill campaign scheduled to begin in mid-April 2026.

Key Details

  • Survey Scope: 26 line kilometres of IP data acquired between Feb. 6 and March 2, 2026, using a pole-dipole electrode array.
  • Smart Creek Target: Line 6, located ~350m west of 2021 Rio Tinto data, shows chargeability features extending west, indicating potential for porphyry copper style mineralization.
  • Smart Creek Exotic Target: Line 5 infilled 2021 data, revealing a 2.5-kilometre-long IP chargeability feature running northwest to southeast, extending west of previous historic drilling; identified as a second high-priority porphyry copper target.
  • Sunrise Target: Four lines revealed a chargeability feature north of Sunrise and a significant anomaly south of the Sunrise mine, which continues toward the Radio Tower area; identified as a high-priority target for copper porphyry and skarn mineralization.
  • Radio Tower Target: Four lines identified a large 1.5km x 1.4km chargeability feature coincident with high-grade surface copper-gold-silver CRD style mineralization from 2026 surface geochemical sampling; potential for CRD and porphyry style mineralization.
  • Technical Methodology: Survey used UTM12N_WGS84 coordinates, 25m station markers, 100m A-spacing, and up to 15 dipoles. Data reviewed by Daniel MacNeil, PGeo (Qualified Person under NI 43-101).
  • Future Plans: Company intends to combine new IP data with historical data to vector toward mineralization centers; drill campaign expected to start mid-April 2026, funded by previous financing.

Notable Quotes

  • "The Smart Creek project continues to give us better than expected results. These new geophysical data will further help us in vectoring toward the center of porphyry and CRD target mineralization." — Gord Neal, CEO
  • "With the funding from our last financing, we look forward to a successful drill campaign which is due to start mid-April." — Gord Neal, CEO
