Event Summary

Domestic Metals Corporation announced the successful completion of an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey at its Smart Creek copper-gold-silver Project in United States — Montana. The survey, conducted by TMC Geophysics between February 6th and March 2nd, 2026, identified significant chargeability features. These features are interpreted to represent previously untested magmatic-hydrothermal sulphides related to porphyry copper, carbonate replacement (CRD), and/or skarn mineralization. The results support Domestic Metals Corporation's existing geological and geochemical target initiatives and have refined four high-priority drill targets: Smart Creek, Smart Creek Exotic, Sunrise, and Radio Tower. CEO Gord Neal expressed optimism about the results and confirmed that a drill campaign is scheduled to begin in mid-April, funded by recent financing. Daniel MacNeil, a Technical Advisor to Domestic Metals Corporation, approved the technical information.
