Multiple Large Chargeability Features Support Porphyry/CRD Targets at Smart Creek Project, Montana

Domestic Metals defines massive chargeability anomalies at Smart Creek, setting the stage for mid-April 2026 discovery drilling.

Executive Summary

The most recent news (April 2, 2026) confirms the completion of a 26 line-km Induced Polarization (IP) survey at the Smart Creek Project in Montana. The results are significant, identifying four high-priority drill targets: Smart Creek, Smart Creek Exotic, Sunrise, and Radio Tower. Key technical highlights include chargeability intensities up to 43 mV/V (indicating high sulfide content) and a continuous 2.5 km anomaly at the "Smart Creek Exotic" target. CEO Gord Neal confirmed that the company is fully funded for a diamond drill campaign scheduled to commence in mid-April 2026.

Material Impact

The impact is Material - Positive. While the survey results are technically "pre-drilling," the scale and intensity of the anomalies (up to 43 mV/V and 2.5 km in length) significantly de-risk the upcoming drill program by providing clear "vectors" into potential porphyry and Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) centers. - Consistency: The results align with and expand upon the high-grade surface samples reported in January 2026 (up to 102 g/t Au and 23% Cu). - Funding: The news confirms that the C$3.5M financing closed in February 2026 is being deployed immediately, moving the company from the "planning" phase to the "execution" phase. - Scale: A 2.5 km anomaly is substantial for a junior explorer and suggests the potential for a large-scale system rather than isolated pockets of mineralization.
