Domestic Metals Expands Targeting Initiative at Smart Creek Copper Project
Domestic Metals Expands Targeting Initiative at Smart
Creek Copper Project
Vancouver B.C., March 6, 2026
Domestic Metals Corp. (the “ Company” or “ Domestic Metals”) - (TSXV: DMCU; OTCQB:
DMCUF; FSE: 03E 0) has expanded its exploration targeting budget based on high -grade
copper, gold and silver results from the Company’s recently completed surface exploration
program (see news release dated January 8, 2026 ) at the Smart Creek Copper Project .
Surface rock sampling and surface geological mapping has increased the size of each of these
target areas and confirms the potential for high-grade copper, gold and silver mineralization
in the porphyry and epithermal environments as well as confirms the presence of related
Carbonate Replacement Deposit style mineralization. The Company has now confirmed the
presence of each of these styles of mineralization exposed at surface at Smart Creek and is
now planning follow up diamond drilling scheduled for April 2026.
Summary of High-Grade Assay Results from 2026 Exploration
• 102 g/t Au (Sample G019007)
• 74.7 g/t Au, 13.8% Cu, 3810 g/t Ag (Sample G019235)
• 30.4 g/t Au (Sample G019001)
• 26.6 g/t Au (Sample G019353)
• 23.1% Cu, 424 g/t Ag (Sample G019225)
• 19.65% Cu, 458 g/t Ag (Sample G019031)
• 19.05% Cu, 582 g/t Ag (Sample G019038)
For additional details regarding the surface sampling results at Smart Creek please see news
release dated January 8, 2026.
Smart Creek Copper Porphyry Target
Previous exploration drilling is concentrated at the Smart Creek target where surface
alteration and mineralization is consistent with the distal porphyry environment. Domestic
Metals has leveraged historical drilling data and newly collected surface geological and
geochemical data to establish a robust exploration drilling target west of the historical drilling
footprint (Figure 1). In addition, exotic copper mineralization south of the Smart Creek target
(Smart Creek Exotic Copper) appears to be superimposed on distal copper porphyry related
mineralization suggesting there is the potential for a second porphyry center westward of
the historical drilling footprint (Figure 1).

Smart Creek, Montana.
Sunrise Porphyry Copper Target
Domestic Metals has identified mineralized porphyry dykes approximately 1 kilometer east
of the past producing Sunrise Mine (see NR dated September 11, 2025 ; Figure 1). These
mineralized porphyry intrusions are exposed at surface and are interpreted to represent the
top of a new porphyry system at Smart Creek. The depth extent of this surface mineralization
will be tested as part of the upcoming diamond drill program at Smart Creek
Radio Tower Carbonate Replacement Targets
The 2025 Surface exploration program has identified several previously unrecognized semi
massive and massive sulphide CRD lenses exposed at surface internal to the Radio Tower
alteration footprint (Figure 1). These high -grade copper -gold-silver lenses have been
prioritize for drill delineation and will be tested after a second round of permitting is complete
for the project. Additional mapping and sampling will be conducted in the Spring to further
derisk these targets.
