DPM Metals Inc. reported high-grade copper-gold-silver intercepts from drilling at the Dumitru Potok and Rakita North prospects, located on the Čoka Rakita exploration licence in Serbia, highlighted by drillhole DPDD042 returning 50 metres grading 3.68% CuEq from 761 metres downhole.

The intercept in DPDD042 comprises 2.18% copper, 1.36 g/t gold, and 21.75 g/t silver, and includes a higher-grade section of 21 metres grading 5.44% CuEq from 772 metres downhole. Other notable results include drillhole BIDD253, which intersected 246 metres grading 1.36% CuEq from 1,377 metres downhole, and DPDD041, which intercepted 84 metres grading 2.06% CuEq from 1,085 metres downhole.

Drilling extended the marble-hosted intrusive skarn mineralization approximately 90 metres west and 100 metres southwest of the existing Dumitru Potok Mineral Resource via drillholes BIDD253 and DPDD037A. An additional intercept in drillhole DPDD039A returned 43 metres grading 1.36% CuEq from 336 metres downhole approximately 300 metres north of the resource.

The company filed a National Instrument 43-101 technical report in January 2026 to support the initial Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the Dumitru Potok, Rakita North, and Frasen prospects on the licence.

To support the expanded campaign, DPM Metals is increasing its 2026 drilling program by an additional 12,000 to 15,000 metres, bringing total planned meterage for the year to approximately 32,000 to 35,000 metres. The company also plans to relocate drilling equipment to increase the number of operating rigs on the Čoka Rakita exploration licence to 15 by the end of 2026.

"With mineralization open in all directions, we are increasing our 2026 drilling program for the Rakita Camp up to 35,000 metres as we pursue what we believe is a district-scale discovery."

"These results extend mineralization 100 metres beyond the existing Mineral Resource and continue to demonstrate Dumitru Potok's significant growth potential."

An updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Dumitru Potok prospect is scheduled for completion by the end of the first quarter of 2027. This estimate will form the basis of a Preliminary Economic Assessment targeted for completion by the end of 2027.
