Domestic Metals (TSXV:DMCU) shared 310 surface samples from the summer-fall campaign at the Smart Creek project in Montana, a 2024 joint venture with mining major Rio Tinto, delivering exceptionally high gold, silver and copper grades.
Results expanded known targets and identified new mineralization, highlighted by 102 grams per ton (g/t) of gold in sample G019007, 23.1 per cent copper and 424 g/t silver in sample G019225 and 74.7 g/t gold, 13.8 per cent copper and 3,810 g/t silver in sample G019235.
A total of 39 samples exceed 0.5 g/t gold, while 43 exceed 1 per cent copper and 35 exceed 30 g/t silver, with 31 samples surpassing 0.1 per cent zinc, confirming prospectivity for porphyry copper deposits, carbonate replacement deposits, as swell as skarn and exotic copper deposits.
Rio Tinto, set to retain a 40 per cent interest in Smart Creek, drilled 26 of 40 permitted sites on the property over 2.5 years, yielding a highlight of 109.73 metres grading 0.75 per cent copper.
Domestic Metals leadership intends to pair mapping, sampling and prospecting data from the campaign with a geophysical program in preparation for drilling in Q1 2026.
Management commentary
“The 2025 field campaign was a success. These are the highest-grade field sample results I have ever been presented with in my career,” Gord Neal, chief executive officer of Domestic Metals, said in Thursday’s news release. “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.”
