SAGA Metals Announces Commencement of Exploration Program by Rio Tinto on the Optioned Legacy Lithium Project in James Bay, Quebec


Saga Metals Corp. (the “Company” or “Saga”), a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discovery in Canada, is pleased to announce that Rio Tinto Exploration Canada (“RTEC”) has commenced its initial exploration program on the Legacy Lithium project. Saga and RTEC executed an option to joint venture agreement on June 28, 2024 (the “Option Agreement”) on the Legacy Lithium Project in the renowned James Bay Lithium District.

RTEC is a Canadian subsidiary of the Rio Tinto Group (LSE: RIO, ASX: RIO, NYSE: RIO).

The Legacy Lithium Project is located in Quebec's Eeyou Istchee James Bay region (See “Lithium Neighborhood” Map below).

The Legacy Lithium project is a lithium-cesium-tantalum (LCT) pegmatite exploration project consisting of an aggregate of 663 claims covering an area of 34,243.76 hectares. These claims (highlighted in red in Figure 1) are subject to the Rio Tinto Option to Joint Venture Agreement.

As previously noted, RTEC will act as project operator under the Option Agreement during the First Option period and the Second Option period. Saga and RTEC have formed a technical committee to review and prepare exploration programs such as the one outlined herein.

The inaugural program operated by RTEC has commenced, with plans to have boots on the ground for 2 weeks. This first phase will focus on scouting pegmatites using the helicopter as well as sighting landing pads for reconnaissance mapping and prospecting. This phase will also draw the first observations of outcrop abundance and regional to property scale geology; special focus is to be paid to shear zones that are known to host pegmatites in the area.

Airborne magnetics and radiometrics surveying are scheduled to commence on August 11th. Results from this survey as well as early geochemical data will be reviewed prior to the next phase of fieldwork.

RTEC will head back into the field focusing on Area 1 (Figure 2) with a planned start date of September 9. This is an area that has not yet had significant work and is in proximity to known spodumene-pegmatite showings. Exploration activities will focus within the magnetic low domains that coincide with the metasedimentary belt that is contiguous with the Trieste Greenstone Belt.

There will be special attention towards previous workings from Saga that took place on the property during last summer’s field programs (Figure 2 Area 2). Initial results from last year indicated that the sampled pegmatites have LCT signatures, with the most highly fractionated samples located at the edge of the mapped areas.

Per news released on July 17, 2024, Saga has filed and obtained a receipt for its final long form prospectus dated July 11, 2024, in respect of its initial public offering (“IPO”) from the securities regulatory authorities in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.

In it, he declares a national energy emergency and emphasizes the importance of restoring American energy independence.

This week's decision signals what Anfield calls “a decisive shift in federal support for domestic nuclear fuel supply.”

Investing in Uranium ETFs: 9 Options for Uranium Exposure

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are one of the fastest-growing investment vehicles, and as uranium's role in the energy transition grows, investors are becoming increasingly interested in uranium ETFs and related products.

After years of dormancy, the uranium spot price zoomed past the US$100 per pound level in early 2024 on supply risks and a strong outlook for long-term demand. Although it's since pulled back, bulls believe it still has room to run.

Supporting factors include the lack of new uranium mines, Russia’s dominance in conversion and enrichment, rising demand for low-carbon energy sources and the continued development and deployment of small modular reactors.
