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)

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 3, 2026 / Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG,OTC:LGCXF)(OTCQB:LGCXF)(FSE:Y2F) (the ‘Company‘ or ‘Lahontan‘) is pleased to announce that the Company has retained RESPEC Company LLC (‘RESPEC’) and Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (‘KCA’) to update the Santa Fe Mine Project Technical Report, including a new Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) and Preliminary Economic Assessment (‘PEA’). The updated MRE will incorporate all drilling completed since October 2024, and utilize new metallurgical data, mining costs, and revised gold and silver prices to design conceptual pit shells to constrain the MRE. Once the MRE is completed, the team will then focus on developing a revised PEA which should reflect the impact of the new technical data as well as metal prices. It is expected that the MRE should be completed in the coming months, with the PEA expected in Q2 2026.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Executive Chair, President, CEO, and Founder commented: ‘Lahontan is excited to begin the process of updating the Santa Fe Mine MRE and PEA. Not only do we have additional drilling to incorporate into the MRE, but also a revised and very detailed three-dimensional geologic model, which will greatly aid gold and silver grade interpolation. Combined with new metallurgical data and upward trending metal prices, we look forward to an updated MRE. The PEA process is vital to Lahontan as it creates an operational model that can be used to evaluate multiple mining scenarios over a range of metal prices that in turn, will provide key data, i.e. process plant throughput, waste rock tonnages, etc., that will be used in our mine permitting program.’
