"The Dykes River Intrusion is a layered mafic intrusion. Our initial 7 diamond drill holes comprised 4 holes that tested the semi-massive to massive vanadiferous titanomagnetite layers and 3 holes that were sited mostly above and to the south of the magnetite layers. The 3 holes reported herein will facilitate a complete sampling of the entire intrusive layering sequence. These seven successful drill holes test a highly mineralized zone, confirming the extraordinary potential lying within our 20 km of high magnetic responses and titanomagnetite layers," commented Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals .
Interpretation of the Drill Results for HEZ-06, HEZ-02 & HEZ-03:
HEZ-06, HEZ-02 & HEZ-03 were all drilled within the hangingwall of the oxide layering zones. These layering intercepts bracketed the oxide layering intersected in HEZ-01, HEZ-04, HEZ-05 & HEZ-07, which intercepted the main layers of the titanomagnetite mineralization.
- HEZ-06, once again, intersected the same gabbronorite zone as seen in hole 2 & 3 but additionally intercepted the prospective gabbronorite/titanomagnetite layering tested in the top of holes 4 & 5. SAGA's metallurgical team is working through the data to correlate the structure and geochemistry of these cumulate layers and reach important conclusions in the coming weeks.
- HEZ-02 was drilled to intercept the hangingwall of the layering zones encountered in HEZ-01 and was successful in bracketing the final stages of layering prior to entering the Gabbro-Norite host rock. It further contained the first glimpse of an intercepted zone which has since been tracked in both HEZ-03 & HEZ-06 where an above 4% TiO 2 average is tracked from 167 meters depth to the end of the Hole at 300 meters: 133 meters intercept grading 12.36% Fe, 4.14% TiOâ‚‚, and 0.064% Vâ‚‚Oâ‚… .
- HEZ-03 intercepted the same above 4% TiO 2 average within the Gabbro-Norite zone encountered at the end of HEZ-02: 66.5 meters intercept grading 11.20% Fe, 4.03% TiOâ‚‚, and 0.05% Vâ‚‚Oâ‚… . Based on SAGA's interpretation, the Titanomagnetite layering sequence is expected further down this hole, and with all drill collars left in the hole, the team has the ability to extend HEZ-03 into the layering zones in the future if needed.
These last three drill holes complete the evaluation over the cross section of the entire magnetic anomaly drilled during this program, which has allowed the team to isolate four separate magmatic layers across the zone of mineralization, which is mappable and trackable. These consistent brackets of VTM mineralization will be the focus of SAGA's efforts for both mapping and metallurgical purposes.
Next Steps for the Radar Project:
The Radar Project has completed its first critical steps with the proof-of-concept 2025 winter drill program, which highlights the significance of the correlation between surface samples, geophysics, and drilling. SAGA is now targeting its other magnetic anomalies across the Property, all of which are larger than the one recently drilled.
Next steps to quickly delineate drill targets will involve completing detailed ground geophysics over the main regional airborne magnetic anomalies, as shown in Figure 2 below. In conjunction with ground-based geophysics over the priority anomalies, SAGA plans to execute a property-wide high-resolution aeromagnetic survey to locate high-priority drilling targets.
Additionally, SAGA has initiated a metallurgy and petrography analysis on the core from the Hawkeye zone. This work will determine the recoverable vanadiferous magnetite and the quality of potential concentrates.
Lastly, SAGA will conduct alternate whole-rock analyses to delineate secondary mineralization of phosphate, manganese, and scandium, as well as certain REE that are prospective in this large mafic layered intrusion.
Drilling Highlights to Date:
- Analytical results have now been received on all 7 diamond drill holes from the 2025 winter program.
- Combined with petrographic analysis, these new assays further confirm that the primary economic mineral is vanadiferous titanomagnetite—favorable for simplified metallurgical processing.
- Notable intercepts of vanadiferous titanomagnetite from the 2025 winter drill program include:
- 20.2 meters grading 31.35% Fe , 6.32% TiOâ‚‚ , and 0.435% Vâ‚‚Oâ‚… in HEZ-07
- 57.7 meters grading 27.09% Fe, 5.305% TiOâ‚‚, and 0.365% Vâ‚‚Oâ‚… in HEZ-07
- 25.0 meters grading 19.92% Fe , 4.14% TiOâ‚‚ , and 0.213% Vâ‚‚Oâ‚… in HEZ-05
- 31.5 meters grading 25.95% Fe, 5.34% TiO 2 and 0.28% V 2 O 5 in HEZ-01
- 50 meters grading 24.49% Fe, 4.74% TiO 2 and 0.305 % V 2 O 5 in HEZ-04
- 28 meters grading 20.11% Fe, 4.22% TiOâ‚‚, and 0.214% Vâ‚‚Oâ‚… in HEZ-06
- 37 meters grading 12.4% Fe, 4.17% TiOâ‚‚, and 0.069% Vâ‚‚Oâ‚… in HEZ-02
- 55 meters grading 11.37% Fe, 4.07% TiOâ‚‚, and 0.051% Vâ‚‚Oâ‚… in HEZ-03

- Titanomagnetite-rich zones average between 20% and 40% titanomagnetite, with localized massive layers exceeding 60%.
- Drilling has confirmed the presence of oxide layering and associated magnetic anomalies to vertical depths of up to 300 meters.
- Current drilling has tested just 1/40th of the identified 20 km strike extent of the oxide layering zone within the Dykes River Intrusion (refer to Figure 2 for map view) .

Radar Ti-V-Fe Property Overview:
The Company's 100%-owned Radar Property is located 10 km from the coastal city of Cartwright, Labrador, benefiting from tremendous infrastructure, including road access, deep-water port, airstrip and nearby hydro-electric power. The Radar Property comprises 24,175-hectares and entirely encloses the Dykes River intrusive complex.
The Dykes River intrusive complex is a recently recognized Mesoproterozoic layered mafic intrusion (Gower, 2017). It has gained attention due geological similarities to large AMCG-type intrusions and a very extensive titanium–vanadium–iron (Ti-V-Fe) rich layer.
The 2025 drill program confirmed massive to semi-massive oxide layering, hosting titanium and vanadium mineralization, representing only 1/40 th of the approximately 20km long oxide layering zone identified at the Radar project. The geological context identified by Dr. Al Miller's petrographic studies has substantially advanced understanding of the Radar deposit. These findings indicate a titanomagnetite mineralization system which is advantageous for simplified metallurgical processing and potentially improved economic outcomes.

The Property is well serviced by road access and is conveniently located near the town of Cartwright, Labrador. A compilation of historical aeromagnetic anomalies is shown. SAGA has demonstrated the reliability of the regional airborne magnetic surveys after ground-truthing and drilling in the 2024 and 2025 field programs.
