(the “Company” or “Domestic”) - (TSXV: DMCU; OTCQB: DMCUF; FSE: 03E) provides an exploration update. The company has received analytical results for 310 surface samples from the summer/Fall field campaign at the Smart Creek Project (“Project”) in Montana. The program was designed to characterize known mineralized zones, refine drill target locations and identify new areas for follow-up exploration. The program has successfully identified high-grade gold, copper, and silver at the Smart Creek Project and has expanded all known targets and identified new high-grade copper, gold and copper mineralization across the property (Figures 1-4). Gord Neal, CEO of Domestic Metals Corp. commented: “The 2025 field campaign was a success. These are the highest-grade field samples results I have ever been presented with in my career. In my experience these kinds of returns are harbingers of major economic discoveries. High grade mineralization has been identified in several locations, including new discovery areas. We look forward to firming up drill targets, deploying a targeted geophysics program followed by a diamond drill program in Q1, 2026” Highlight High-Grade Assay Results 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) Highlight, high-grade surface samples are provided in the table below: SampleEastingNorthingSampleSampleCopperGoldSilverID(m)(m)LithologyType(%)(g/t)(g/t)G0190013213455150400QuartziteOutcrop0.54930.412G0190073213655150392LimestoneOutcrop0.37710220.7G0190293267955148835SiltstoneOutcrop6.750.313173G0190313267905148864SiltstoneOutcrop19.650.877458G0190383268475148970SiltstoneSubcrop19.050.763582G0190823216405151163MarbleMine Dump1.83515.76.5G0190933200565149968Quartz VeinProspect Pit0.8750.226186G0190943208705147635SandstoneMine Dump0.0731.5222G0191513213615150388DolostoneOutcrop0.78715.0515G01921932681751488...
