Domestic Metals Provides Update on Drill Program at Smart Creek Project, Montana

(TSXV:DMCU; OTCQB:DMCUF; FSE:03E0) Domestic Metals Corp. provided an update on its inaugural diamond drill program at the Flag Ship Smart Creek Copper-Gold-Silver Project in the Maxville Mining District, Granite County, Montana. The company has completed two drill holes totaling 1,110.69 metres: SMCR-26-001 at 456.29 metres and SMCR-26-002 at 654.40 metres. Drilling is currently underway on hole SMCR-26-003. Core from SMCR-26-001 has been logged and submitted to ALS Labs in Reno, Nevada, while core from SMCR-26-002 has been logged and is about to be submitted. First assay results are anticipated towards the end of November. The current phase aims to delineate Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD) style mineralization at the Gold Coin Prospect, previously identified by Rio Tinto, where historical hole SMCR0022 intersected 109.73 metres at 0.75% copper, including 89 metres at 0.97% copper. Subsequent drilling at the Smart Creek Target area will focus on extending this zone and testing potential porphyry copper-molybdenum linkages, as well as new epithermal and porphyry targets at Smart Creek, Sunrise, and Radio Tower Targets. Gordon Neal, CEO and Director, stated that the first two holes contain significant CRD-style alteration and that the immediate objective is to understand structural and stratigraphic controls to develop an understanding of mineralization styles and local context. The Smart Creek Target area is considered prospective for high-grade porphyry, exotic copper, carbonate-replacement/skarn gold-copper, and epithermal gold mineralization. Drilling will remain focused on the Smart Creek Target area for now. Core photographs from SMCR-26-001 show silica-manganese cemented breccia with abundant copper oxides between 11.90 and 14.50 metres, and quartz vein with sphalerite and pyrite-chalcopyrite along the margin; possible tennantite in silicified calcareous laminated-siltstone. Core from SMCR-26-002 includes intense silicification with secondary copper oxide at 49.07 metres, intensely silicified siltstone with abundant chrysocolla at 15.54 metres, replacement style pyrite-chalcopyrite in calc-silicate-biotite altered siltstone at 213.01 metres, and bedding controlled pyrite-chalcopyrite replacement style sulphide blebs at 208.70 metres. Drill hole SMCR-26-001 intersected calcareous siltstones with variable silicification, carbonate alteration, chlorite-epidote development, and localized calc-silicate replacement associated with copper-zinc-silver mineralization. Copper mineralization was documented near surface at 13.5m and 53.6m, with additional sulphide-bearing intervals at 123.33m, 152.3m, and 342.65m. At 342.65m, a silicified, laminated calcareous siltstone contains a quartz vein with sphalerite and pyrite-chalcopyrite along its margins, with possible tennantite also identified. Drill hole SMCR-26-002 intersected a strongly altered sequence of calcareous siltstones with pervasive silicification, hornfels, chloritization, calc-silicate replacement, and locally intense sulphide mineralization. Near-surface oxidized copper mineralization occurs as chrysocolla-rich fractured siltstone and copper-bearing gouge zones at approximately 15–16 metres, transitioning at depth into hypogene chalcopyrite-pyrite-pyrrhotite-sphalerite mineralization. Significant mineralization is documented between approximately 151m and 316m, including chalcopyrite-rich replacement zones at 205.5–208.4m, locally high copper concentrations at 208.7m, 213.01m, and 270.5m, and semi-massive chalcopyrite-sphalerite mineralization at 316.3m. Scheelite mineralization was identified at 126.1m. Collar table data for SMCR-26-001: Easting 326789.5, Northing 5148997, Azimuth 0°, Dip -55°, Length 456.29m; for SMCR-26-002: Easting 326790, Northing 5148997, Azimuth 300°, Dip -55°, Length 654.4m. The Smart Creek Project covers 8,000 hectares and is located 50km northwest of the Butte Mine Complex. Domestic Metals Corp. will present updates at the following conferences: Nov. 6-7 Munich Mining Conference (Germany), Nov. 18-19 Swiss Mining Institute (Switzerland), Nov. 23-24 121 Mining Investment (London, United Kingdom), and Nov. 26 Global Mining Finance Autumn Conference (London, United Kingdom).
