Domestic Metals Corp Launches 9,000-Meter Drill Program in Montana

Domestic Metals Corp. announced a 9,000-meter diamond drill program scheduled to begin in late August 2026 at the Smart Creek Project in Montana. The fully funded initiative consists of six to eight holes targeting the Smart Creek and Sunrise Mine areas. The company is searching for high-grade porphyry copper and copper-gold-silver enriched carbonate replacement deposits.

The project is a joint venture with Rio Tinto, which maintains a 40% interest in the site. This drilling program follows two years of systematic exploration, utilizing surface rock sampling and IP geophysical data to refine target models. First assay results are expected six to eight weeks after the start of drilling.

In a separate corporate action, Domestic Metals Corp. granted incentive stock options for up to 2,150,000 common shares to its directors, officers, and consultants.
