DPM Metals Inc. reported high-grade copper-gold-silver drill intercepts from the Dumitru Potok and Rakita North prospects, located on the Čoka Rakita exploration licence in Serbia.

Drillhole DPDD042 returned 50 metres grading 3.68% CuEq, comprising 2.18% Cu, 1.36 g/t Au and 21.75 g/t Ag from 761 metres downhole, including 21 metres grading 5.44% CuEq from 772 metres. Other 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.

The new assays extend marble-hosted intrusive skarn mineralization approximately 90 metres west and 100 metres southwest of the existing Dumitru Potok Mineral Resource. Drillhole DPDD039A also returned encouraging results 300 metres north of the resource. Mineralization remains open along strike, laterally and at depth across both prospects.

“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,” said David Rae, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The 2026 drilling program is focused on further delineating the Mineral Resource estimate reported for the Dumitru Potok, Rakita North and Frasen prospects in late 2025. In light of the recent results, DPM is expanding its 2026 drilling program by an additional 12,000 to 15,000 metres, taking total planned drilling for the year to approximately 32,000 to 35,000 metres. The company also plans to increase the number of rigs in operation on the Čoka Rakita licence to 15 by the end of 2026.

An updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Dumitru Potok prospect is expected to be completed 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.
