DPM Metals Inc. announced that In mid-March 2026, DPM received the normal course renewal of exploration permits for the Coka Rakita licence as anticipated. A 20,000-metre drilling program was initiated with two drill rigs currently active, ramping up to 10 drill rigs by June. A significant component of the drilling program will be allocated to infilling and extending mineralization at Dumitru Potok and increasing the drilling density prior to initiating an economic study.

An additional 20,000 metres of drilling and six to eight drill rigs will be dedicated to the Putaj Cuka licence, targeting the same north-west geological trend of the Coka Rakita and Dumitru Potok projects.
