Multiple Large Chargeability Features Support Porphyry/CRD Targets at Smart Creek Project, Montana
Multiple Large Chargeability Features Support Porphyry/CRD Targets
at Smart Creek Project, Montana
Vancouver B.C., April 2, 2026
Domestic Metals Corp. (the “ Company” or “ Domestic Metals”) - (TSXV: DMCU; OTCQB: DMCUF; FSE:
03E0) is pleased to report that a recently completed induced polarization (“ IP”) geophysical survey at its
Smart Creek copper-gold-silver Project in Montana (Figure 1) identified chargeability features that support
the project’s target potential. The newly enhanced targets include extensive porphyry copper style zones
in addition to carbonate replacement (“CRD”)/skarn copper-gold silver mineralization. The IP chargeability
features of interest are widespread, coincident with previously established alteration footprints and high-
grade sampling carried out by the Company (see news release dated January 8, 2026). The IP targets are
interpreted to represent previously untested magmat ic-hydrothermal sulphides related to copper
porphyry, CRD and/or skarn related sulphides (Figures 2A and 2B). These results support Domestic Metals’
geologically and geochemically based target initiatives and represent Priority 1 drill targets at the Smart
Creek Project.
“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. Our
geologists have developed targets based on the high-grade metal results that we have seen from our work
done at the Smart Creek Project; these targets are now refined based on the new IP data. With the funding
from our last financing, we look forward to a successful drill campaign which is du e to start mid -
April”, commented Gord Neal, CEO of Domestic Metals.
IP Geophysics Results
Domestic Metals commissioned TMC Geophysics to carry out an induced polarization (IP) survey on their
Smart Creek Project situated 70 km southeast of Missoula, Montana, USA. The fieldwork took place
between February 6th and March 2nd, 2026, and consisted of 26 line-km of IP data acquired using a pole-
dipole electrode array (Figure 1).
The 2026 IP Geophysical survey at Smart Creek delineated chargeability features that are interpreted to
represent sulphide mineralization in the subsurface potentially related to porphyry copper, and CRD
and/or skarn mineralization that has never previously been drill tested on the property. Chargeability
features were delineated at Smart Creek, Smart Creek Exotic, Sunrise and Radio Tower Targets,
substantially increasing Domestic’s confidence in previously identified drill targets in these areas (Table
1).

Smart Creek Target
A
B
The 2026 IP Geophysical survey includes a single line (Line 6) approximately 350 meters west of historical
data collected by Rio Tinto in 2021. This line demonstrates that the charg eability feature extends further
west than previously known and represents a high priority drill target with potential for porphyry copper
style mineralization (Figure 2A, 2B, 3).
Smart Creek Exotic Target
A single line (Line 5) collected to infill the 2021 Rio Tinto IP geophysical survey was collected at the Smart
Creek Exotic Target. This line enhanced the resolution of the previous survey and demonstrates a 2.5
kilometer-long IP chargeability feature running northwest to so utheast from Smart Creek to southern
Smart Creek Exotic Targets. The anomaly extends west of previous historic drilling on the property (Figures
2A, 2B). This feature represents a second high -priority porphyry copper drill target for Do mestic Copper
(Figure 4).
Sunrise Target
The 2026 IP Geophysical Survey included 4 north-northeast oriented lines in and around the Sunrise Target
which reveal a chargeability feature of interest to the north of Sunrise and also delineates a chargeability
feature south of the Sunrise Mine. The southern anomaly continues southward toward the Radio Tower
target area (Figure 2A, 2B, 5). This feature immediately south of the Sunrise Mine represents a high -
priority drill target for Domestic Metals with the potential for copper porphyry and skarn mineralization
(rightmost feature on Line 2 shown in Figure 5).
Radio Tower Target
The 2026 IP Geophysical survey included 4 lines that transect the Radio Tower Target area. The southern
portions of these lines identified a large, 1.5 kilometer -long by 1.4 kilometer -wide chargeability feature
that is coincident with high -grade surface copper -gold-sliver CRD style mineralization identified in the
2026 surface geochemical sampling program. This feature has potential to host CRD and porphyry style
copper-gold-silver mineralization and represents a high-priority drill target (Figures 2A, 2B, 6).
IP Geophysics and Porphyry/skarn/CRD Mineral Exploration
The 26 line- km IP survey grid consisted of six 6 irregularly spaced profiles of 2.8 km to 5.8 km in length
with survey station markers/reference points every 25 m along these profiles. Locations were captured
using a Garmin GPS non-differential receiver in the UTM12N_WGS84 coordinate system. The pole-dipole
(dipole-pole) array was chosen for the IP survey on the Smart Creek Project. The nominal A -spacing
between the electrodes was set to 100 meters and a maximum of fifteen (15) dipoles were read.
IP geophysics is used to obtain chargeability and resistivity values (rock properties) which can provide
insights into the distribution of sulphides and hydrothermal alteration in the subsurface at Sma rt Creek.
Resistivity and chargeability features identified in the subsurface can provide a means of independently
verifying targets constrained from surface geology and geochemistry. Domestic Metals will combine these
new IP geophysical data with previously collected data to investigate the potential for new porphyry and
carbonate replacement mineralization in the subsurface at Smart Creek Project.
