Saga Metals Financing Sets the Stage for Advanced Exploration at the Radar Project
Key Highlights:
- Saga's field team is on-site preparing for the planned 15,000-metre drill program at the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project in Labrador, Canada.
- Drilling is focused on advancing the Trapper Zone's 3+ km strike toward a maiden MRE highlighting titanium, vanadium, and iron ore—critical minerals for the global energy transition.
- Ongoing site work includes trench mapping, surveying, and full camp establishment to optimize drill execution.
- Infrastructure is in place with new access trails along the oxide layering strike through the Trapper Zone.
- The preparation phase is expected to conclude in the coming weeks, with the 15,000m drilling program scheduled to commence in early November 2025.
Preparation begins for a 15,000m Drill Program at the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project:
Field preparations are underway across the Radar Project's Trapper Zone, which spans over a 3+ km strike of oxide mineralization. This mobilization marks a significant step in preparing for a major drill program aimed at expanding known mineralization and advancing toward the completion of a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) on the project.
Current work is designed to strengthen drill targeting, maximize efficiency, and ensure high-quality geological data accuracy for the MRE, including:
1. Enhanced Trench Analysis
Building on approximately 504 square metres (5,425 ft²) of trenching completed to date, SAGA is conducting additional high-pressure power washing and detailed geological mapping in three trenches within the Trapper Zone. This work exposes clean bedrock surfaces by removing overburden and vegetation, allowing geologists to document rock types, mineral textures, and oxide layering trends with precision. The process will help refine 3D geological models, confirm continuity of vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) mineralization, and identify the most prospective high-grade drill targets.
2. Surveying and Geophysical Preparation
Crews are also executing a comprehensive surveying program to support drill collar placement and spatial accuracy across the Trapper Zone. Using high-precision GPS, total stations, and laser scanning technology, the team is mapping the newly built 4 km Trapper Trail access route, establishing a geophysics baseline, and cutting grid lines (cutlines) through vegetation to enable further geophysical traverses. The geophysics baseline will serve as a calibration reference for magnetometer instruments, ensuring consistent and reliable detection of anomalies that may indicate subsurface mineralization. Collectively, these surveys are designed to eliminate spatial errors in modelling and optimize drill hole targeting.
3. Establishing Full Camp Infrastructure
To support the scale of the upcoming 15,000 metre drill program, SAGA has secured land near Cartwright, Labrador, for the establishment of a fully serviced exploration camp. The camp will include accommodations, a kitchen trailer, a core shack for drill core logging and storage, an office for data management, and a cut shack for sample preparation. Utility infrastructure—including power generation, water storage and filtration, and septic systems—is being installed to ensure long-term operational stability. With this infrastructure in place, SAGA is positioned to support long-term stability and efficiency for the crews managing this milestone drill program.

Summary of the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project in Labrador, Canada:
The Radar Property benefits from exceptional infrastructure, including all-season road access, a nearby deep-water port, hydroelectric power, and an airstrip with claims just 10 km from Cartwright, Labrador. Spanning 24,175 hectares, the property covers all the Dykes River intrusive complex—an extensive (~160 km²) Mesoproterozoic layered mafic intrusion. Unique amongst Western exploration companies, SAGA controls its entire intrusive complex.
Grenville-age mafic layered intrusions of Québec and Labrador represent a significant but underdeveloped titanium–vanadium–iron resource province. These layered intrusions, emplaced during the Grenvillian orogeny, locally host thick oxide-rich cumulate zones dominated by titanomagnetite and hemo-ilmenite with accessory vanadium and phosphorus. Their scale and metallogenic affinity are directly comparable to major Fe–Ti–V deposits such as Lac Tio (Quebec), Panzhihua (China), Tellnes (Norway) and Bushveld (South Africa), which supply a major share of global TiO₂ feedstock and vanadium for steel alloys and emerging energy storage markets. The combination of large tonnage potential, favourable logistics, and critical mineral content positions the Grenville intrusions, such as Radar's Dykes River complex, as strategic candidates for development in the context of growing North American demand for titanium, vanadium and high-quality iron.
Early geological mapping, government magnetic surveys and ground-based geophysics of the Radar property have identified oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, with mineralized zones remaining open for expansion. Vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) is the principal oxide and occurs as cumulate and intercumulus mineralization over large thicknesses of the Dykes River layered intrusion.

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 overlaid by ground-based geophysics as shown. SAGA has demonstrated the reliability of the regional airborne magnetic surveys after ground-truthing and drilling in the 2024 and 2025 field programs.
SAGA's 2025 Winter Drill Program at Radar:
Saga completed its maiden drill program in early 2025, featuring a 2,209-metre, seven-hole diamond drill campaign across the Hawkeye Zone—a combination of 3D magnetic inversion modeling and surface VLF-EM results guided drill targeting. The program intersected broad zones of titanomagnetite-rich oxide layering, with cumulative intersections displaying consistent grades of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), vanadium pentoxide (V 2 O 5 ) and iron (Fe).
Similarities in the ratios of TiO 2 and V2O 5 to Fe 3 O 4 across multiple drill holes serve to identify discrete igneous layers. Within the 600 m tested thickness of the layered gabbronorite, the chemistry delineates a very promising 300-400 m thickness, referred to as the Lower Cumulate Layer. The highest V 2 O 5 assays are in the lower 100-200 m, coinciding with the highest-grade intervals of VTMs. The layer is comprised of interlayered gabbronorite and bands of semi-massive to massive VTM.
Drill holes R25-HEZ-01, -07, -04, and -05 intersect this Lower Cumulate Layer. The chemistry indicates that the layer was deposited from a large-volume pulse of Ti-V-Fe-enriched magma. Saga will be targeting this same discrete intrusive horizon along the Trapper Zone's 3+ km strike length.
Magnetic and VLF-EM Survey to Extend the ‘Trapper Zone'
As crews prepare for the 15,000 m drill program, a small geophysics team will continue a ground-based magnetic survey over the northern and southern extensions of the Trapper Zone. The survey utilizes a GSM-19 magnetometer to collect magnetic-field and VLF-EM data (using VLF Transmitter Cutler).
The survey is conducted using a grid of N-S lines, spaced 50 m apart, with observations made at stations spaced 20 m apart along the lines. The tightly gridded stations will be used to map the extent to which the oxide layering strike continues to the NE-E at the top of the zone and SE-E at the bottom of the zone, both trending back towards the Hawkeye Zone.

SAGA has demonstrated the reliability of the regional airborne magnetic surveys after ground-truthing and drilling in the 2024 and 2025 field programs .
