Domestic Metals Corp. announced that an induced polarization (?IP?) geophysical survey at its Smart Creek copper-gold-silver project in Montana, has been completed by TMC Geophysics, who were engaged as part of ongoing mineral exploration by Domestic Metals. Fieldwork took place between February 6th and March 2nd, 2026 and consisted of 26 line-km of IP data acquired using the pole-dipole electrode array.
The objective of the exploration program was to expand the footprint of previous IP geophysics collected by Rio Tinto to further delineate drill targets ahead of diamond drilling planned for Second Quarter, 2026. Domestic Metals is currently modeling the new data and the results of this survey will be discussed in an upcoming news release. 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 Smart 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.
