DPM Metals Extends Mineralization at Dumitru Potok with High-Grade Intercepts

TORONTO, Sept. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DPM Metals Inc. (TSX: DPM, ASX: DPM) (ARBN: 689370894) (“DPM” or “the Company”) today reported intercepts from drilling at the Dumitru Potok and Rakita North copper-gold-silver prospects, located on the Čoka Rakita exploration licence.

Highlights include:

Extension of Dumitru Potok mineralization: Drilling extends the marble-hosted intrusive skarn mineralization approximately 90 metres west and 100 metres southwest (drillholes BIDD253 and DPDD037A) and returned encouraging results 300 metres to the north of the Mineral Resource (DPDD039A), indicating further expansion potential at shallow levels.

Targets remain open: Results demonstrate further growth potential at Dumitru Potok and Rakita North, with mineralization open along strike, laterally and at depth, including priority extensions to the west and southwest of the existing Dumitru Potok Mineral Resource, and to the north and east at Rakita North. These results improve the Company’s understanding of mineralization geometry and indicate mineralized tonnage may be greater than previously modelled.

Increased drilling program: DPM is expanding the 2026 drilling program by an additional 12,000 to 15,000 metres, increasing planned drilling for the year to approximately 32,000 to 35,000 metres. The drilling program will focus on expanding the existing Dumitru Potok Mineral Resource estimate, infill drilling and target testing across the Čoka Rakita exploration licence.

PEA to be completed by year end 2027: An updated Dumitru Potok Mineral Resource estimate is expected to be complete by the end of the first quarter of 2027 , which will form the basis of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) targeted to be complete by the end of 2027.

Selected intercepts include: BIDD253: 246 metres grading 1.36% CuEq, comprising 0.67% Cu, 0.69 g/t Au and 4.21 g/t Ag from 1,377 metres downhole, including
