Red Metal Resources Ltd. (CSE: RMES,OTC:RMESF) (OTC Pink: RMESF) (FSE: I660) (‘Red Metal’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce it has commenced a detailed LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey over the Carrizal property, focusing on the Farellon Project.

Highlights

• Data collection is expected to be completed between February 2nd and 8th.
• LiDAR provides high-resolution, three-dimensional maps of surface features at cm scale resolution. It operates by emitting laser pulses toward the ground from an aircraft or a drone and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to return after reflecting off the surface. Applying hillshading at multiple angles to the data reveals structural lineaments and offsets that are not visible in satellite imagery, giving a clear vision of the tectonic framework.
• The LiDAR survey over the Farellon portion of the Carrizal Property will be used to aid in extending vein hosting structures out from mapped extents, identify historic workings that have been filled over time and are no longer obvious at surface or through satellite imagery, conduct detailed geological contact mapping, and identify any subtle structures with potential to be pathways for mineralization.

Prior surface work on the Carrizal Property identified distinct mineralization zonation. The South Theresa and Armonia veins in the southeast of the project show a higher gold-to-copper ratio compared to the Farellon and Gorda veins in the west (Figures 1 & 2). The LiDAR data, combined with existing extensive surface sampling and mapping, will be instrumental in developing high-priority drill targets for future drilling.

Red Metal Resources President and CEO, Caitlin Jeffs, stated: ‘Utilizing high-resolution LiDAR allows us to identify historic workings and subtle structural pathways that satellite imagery simply cannot catch. This is a cost-effective way to develop better targets focusing on the most promising gold and copper zones identified in our recent surface programs.’

The LiDAR survey will be flown over 1,293 hectares using a DJI Matrice 300 + LiDAR L2 scanner used by Red Rock SpA.

TSXV: DMCU; OTCQB: DMCUF; FSE: 03E0) engages TMC Geophysics to conduct 27 line-kilometers of electrical geophysics (Induced Polarization; ‘IP’) at the Smart Creek Project, Montana. The geophysical program is designed to expand historical IP coverage on the property and will be used to refine the location of diamond drilling scheduled for Q1Q2, 2026. IP geophysics is used to obtain chargeability and resistivity values (rock properties) which can provide insights into the distribution of sulphides and hydrothermal alteration related to potential porphyry and Carbonate Replacement deposits in the subsurface at Smart Creek and will be used by Domestic to derisk drill targets in advance of drilling.

Domestic Metals has expanded its exploration budget significantly to accommodate additional geophysics and diamond drilling at Smart Creek based on results of the 2025 surface sampling program that substantially increased the mineralized footprint of existing targets at Smart Creek and identified several new targets for follow up exploration (see news release dated January 8, 2026). The 2025 sampling program returned the following high-grade results:

Highlight High-Grade Assay Results

• 102 g/t Au (Sample G019007)
• 74.7 g/t Au, 13.8% Cu, 3810 g/t Ag (Sample G019235)
• 30.4 g/t Au (Sample G019001)
• 26.6 g/t Au (Sample G019353)
• 23.1% Cu, 424 g/t Ag (Sample G019225)
• 19.65% Cu, 458 g/t Ag (Sample G019031)
• 19.05% Cu, 582 g/t Ag (Sample G019038)

Non-brokered Private Placement

Domestic Metals announces a non-brokered private placement of up to 12,500,000 units (the ‘Units’) at a price of $0.28 per Unit (the ‘Offering’) for gross proceeds of up to $3,500,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a ‘Share’) and one common share purchase warrant (a ‘Warrant’). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Share of the Company for a period of two years from the date of issuance at a price of $0.40 per Share. Expiry of the Warrants may be accelerated if the closing price of the Company’s Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (‘TSXV’) is equal to or greater than $0.65 for a minimum of twenty consecutive trading days and a notice of acceleration is provided in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.

Gord Neal, CEO of Domestic Metals Corp. commented: ‘We expanded our exploration budget significantly to accommodate additional geophysics and up to 9,000m of diamond drilling at Smart Creek. This follows the discovery of high-grade mineralization, including up to 102 g/t gold, 23% copper, and 3,810 g/t silver we announced last month. These field campaign results generated significant unsolicited capital market interest making this private placement announcement timely. The geophysics program to be launched this week will refine drill targets for the larger diamond drill program scheduled to start in Q1, 2026.’

Insiders may participate and finders’ fees may be payable to qualified arm’s length parties that have introduced the Company to certain subscribers participating in the Offering. All securities issued in the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period, during which time the securities may not be traded. Closing of the Offering is subject to the approval of the TSXV.

The net proceeds from the Offering are intended for exploration of the Company’s Smart Creek Project, in Montana, U.S.A., and for general working capital.

This press release does not constitute an offer of sale of any of the foregoing securities in the United States. None of the foregoing securities have been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘1933 Act’) or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) or persons in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor will there be any sale of the foregoing securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
