The Radar Ti-V Property is located 10km south of Cartwright in Labrador, Canada. The project now spans 21,750 hectares and benefits from road access and close proximity to a deep-water port supporting efficient exploration and development.

Radar Ti-V Project: Inferred Oxide Zone
SAGA's in-house geological team had been tracking and defining the oxide layers on the surface based off historical analytical geophysics and two summers of exploration. The team was confident that a limb of the oxide zone extended from the Trapper zone to an unnamed anomaly in the northwest. With the completion of the successful maiden drill program, that showcased drill hole intercepts of the magnetite–oxide layering zone and its potential extent, the team identified the evidence it needed to track the trend into the northwestern section of the property and therefore claimed the final geophysical target in the area.
The inferred layering appears to be continuous from the Hawkeye zone, Trapper zone and the new extension of the property. Whether this is a lopolith feature as defined in the below intrusive model or a fold is yet to be confirmed. Nevertheless, this extensive magnetic anomaly infers the oxide layering trend extends ~20km along strike highlighting the significance of this extension. SAGA has made comparisons with other "textbook" and modeled undeformed layered mafic intrusions such as the Kiglapait intrusion in Northern Labrador.

Q1 2025 Maiden Drill Program:
SAGA's 2025 maiden drill program aimed to test the core of the magnetic anomaly identified through geophysics at the Hawkeye Zone. Initially planned for 1,500 meters, the program was confidently expanded to 2,200 meters after early drilling revealed strong intercepts through the primary layering sequences.
This program confirmed a large mineralized layered mafic intrusion with early indications suggesting it is moderately undeformed and contains its original primary magmatic textures from over 1 billion years ago. The Dykes River intrusion (Gower 2017), which hosts the entirety of the Radar Ti-V project, has been historically mapped over an area of 160km 2 , which is similar, but larger in size to Greenland's Skargaard intrusion. This size underscores the immense untapped potential of the region for hosting critical metals, including vanadium and titanium, essential to the global green energy transition.
Key findings from drilling include:
- 130–200 meters of intermittent magnetite layering across strike
- Consistent correlation between geophysical anomalies and mineralized zones
- Layered Fe-Ti-V mineralization open at depth

SAGA's exploration team is currently finishing the logging and cutting process with the first shipment of core already sent to the Activation laboratory in Ancaster, Ontario. Due to the quantity of samples, the core will be shipped in three phases. SAGA's team has prioritized a sequence of drill holes with holes R25-HEZ-01 and R25-HEZ-04 being sent for assaying first. The Company anticipates its initial drill results within the next 4-6 weeks.
R25-HEZ-01 and R25-HEZ-04 were prioritized due to their location on the drill fence which placed them in a position to fully intercept the main oxide layering sequence as seen in the above map. Both of these holes logged magnetite layering sequences between 130-200m across strike.
About Saga Metals Corp.
Saga Metals Corp. is a North American mining company focused on the exploration and discovery of critical minerals that support the global transition to green energy. The company's flagship asset, the Double Mer Uranium Project, is located in Labrador, Canada, covering 25,600 hectares. This project features uranium radiometrics that highlight an 18-kilometer east-west trend, with a confirmed 14-kilometer section producing samples as high as 4,281ppm U 3 O 8 and spectrometer readings of 22,000cps.
In addition to its uranium focus, SAGA owns the Legacy Lithium Property in Quebec's Eeyou Istchee James Bay region. This project, developed in partnership with Rio Tinto, has been expanded through the acquisition of the Amirault Lithium Project. Together, these properties cover 65,849 hectares and share significant geological continuity with other major players in the area, including Rio Tinto, Winsome Resources, Azimut Exploration, and Loyal Lithium.
SAGA also holds secondary exploration assets in Labrador, where the company is focused on the discovery of titanium, vanadium, and iron ore. With a portfolio that spans key minerals crucial to the green energy transition, SAGA is strategically positioned to play an essential role in the clean energy future.
