The Company issued an aggregate of 6,637,667 warrants and 163,146 finder's warrants (together, the "May Warrants") in connection with the May Financing. The Company also issued an aggregate of 555,750 finder's Warrants (the "October Warrants"; together with the May Warrants, the "Warrants") in connection with the October Financing. SAGA is pleased to report the exercise of 6,755,142 Warrants since January 1, 2026 and through the Acceleration, with total proceeds to the Company of $3,422,888 CDN.
Mike Stier, CEO & Director of Saga Metals commented:Â "Thank you to all shareholders that exercised warrants during this acceleration period. We are thrilled to announce the success of this program bringing in $3,422,888 CDN in additional funding to the Company from the Acceleration as well as other in the money warrants. This influx of cash builds directly on the successful $9 Million CDN raised in Q4 2025, further bolstering our treasury and positioning the Company in the strongest financial position in its history. With additional cash secured and drilling well underway to start 2026 we continue to execute our strategy and deliver significant and sustainable value to our shareholders."
Each Warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.50 per share for a period of 24 months from the issue date. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the Company accelerated the expiry date of the Warrants on the TSXV on January 22, 2026. The Company provided notice of the Acceleration Period in accordance with the terms of the Warrants.

Any Warrants remaining unexercised after the Accelerated Expiry Date have now expired and are of no force and effect.
About the Radar Critical Mineral Property in Labrador
The Radar Property spans 24,175 hectares and hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex (~160 km²), a unique position among Western explorers. Geological mapping, geophysics, and trenching have already confirmed oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, with mineralization open for expansion.
Figure 1: Radar Property map, depicting magnetic anomalies, oxide layering and the site of the 2025 drill programs. 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.
Vanadiferous titanomagnetite ("VTM") mineralization at Radar is comparable to global Fe–Ti–V systems such as Panzhihua (China), Bushveld (South Africa), and Tellnes (Norway), positioning the Project as a potential strategic future supplier of titanium, vanadium, and iron to North American markets.
Figure 2: Radar Project's prospective oxide layering zone validated over about 16 km strike length through Fall 2025 drilling, as shown on a compilation of historical airborne geophysics as well as ground-based geophysics in the Hawkeye and Trapper zones completed by SAGA in the 2024/2025 field programs. SAGA has demonstrated the reliability of the regional airborne magnetic surveys after ground-truthing and drilling in the 2024 and 2025 field programs.
Key Project Highlights:
- Confirmed mineralization in 25 out of 25 drill holes completed and observed in two primary zones to date.
- Analytical results to date include numerous oxide-rich intercepts, including:

Table 1: Top 7 intercepts from the 2025 drilling programs at both Trapper and Hawkeye Zones
- Infrastructure including road access, deep-water port, nearby hydro-electric power and airstrip.
- Confirmed the 16+ km oxide layering trend that stretches from the Hawkeye Zone to the Trapper Zone.
- Exceptional grades and thicknesses with semi-massive to massive oxide reporting up to 64.55% Fe,13.3% TiO2, and 0.66% V2O5.
- Petrographic analysis confirms titanomagnetite mineralization is advantageous for simplified metallurgical processing.

About Saga Metals Corp.
Saga Metals Corp. is a North American mining company focused on the exploration and discovery of a diversified suite of critical minerals that support the North American transition to supply security. The Radar Ti-V-Fe Project comprises 24,175 hectares and entirely encloses the Dykes River intrusive complex, mapped at 160 km² on the surface near Cartwright, Labrador. Exploration to date, including 4,250 m of drilling, has confirmed a large, mineralized layered mafic intrusion hosting vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) and ilmenite mineralization with strong grades of titanium and vanadium.
The Double Mer Uranium Project, also in Labrador, covers 25,600 hectares and features uranium radiometrics that highlight an 18km east-west trend, with a confirmed 14km section producing samples as high as 0.428% U3O8. Uranium uranophane was identified in several areas of highest radiometric response (2024 Double Mer Technical Report).
Additionally, 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 Metals.
With a portfolio spanning key commodities critical to the clean energy future, SAGA is strategically positioned to play an essential role in critical mineral security.
