07:49 AM EDT, 09/12/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Domestic Metals ( DMCUF ) overnight Thursday provided an exploration update for field level activities at the Smart Creek project in western Montana.

The company said fieldwork, including mapping, sampling and prospecting is underway, with the objective to identify lithological, structural, alteration and geochemical vectors toward porphyry copper-gold and related carbonate replacement style (CRD) copper-gold-silver-zinc mineralization.

"Rigorous and systematic field evaluation of the Smart Creek porphyry, Sunrise Mine porphyry/skarn and Radio Tower CRD and porphyry targets is progressing on time and on budget," said Domestic Metals ( DMCUF ) chief executive officer Patricio Varas. "The results will yield specific targets slated for multiple phases of exploration drilling beginning in late 2025 or early 2026."

"The three high-priority targets identified at the Smart Creek project each have large footprints based on magnetic and IP geophysics, alteration and lithological mapping, in addition to historic rock and soil surface geochemistry. Each of the three targets have stand-alone potential to host economic bulk tonnage copper-gold-silver mineralization," Varas said.

Shares of the company closed unchanged at $0.305 on the TSX Venture Exchange Thursday.
