SAGA Metals Engages Paul McGuigan as its Qualified Person to Oversee Advancement of the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project in Labrador & Provides Corporate Update

Saga Metals Corp. ("SAGA" or the "Company") (TSXV: SAGA) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H) a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discovery, is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul McGuigan, P. Geo., as its Qualified Person on the exploration and development of the Radar Ti-V-Fe Property (the " Project ") in Labrador. Mr. McGuigan will advise on standards of practice for QAQC, structural mapping, drilling and deposit modelling.

Mr. McGuigan, a Professional Geoscientist, has 50 years of international experience in economic geology and mineral exploration management, spanning grassroots exploration to feasibility studies and mining operations. Early in his career, he was employed by IBM, the Geological Survey of Canada, Imperial Oil, Pechiney Ugine Kuhlmann, Esso Minerals Canada and Westmin Resources.

For the last 37 years, McGuigan has led Cambria Geological Inc., which has operated in North and South America, West Africa, the Middle East, the SW Pacific, and Europe. Clients have included private and publicly-listed companies, First Nations groups, and governments. He has been responsible for multiple feasibility-level projects involving due diligence standards, data validation, project management, mine rehabilitation, deposit modelling, and QAQC.

In decades of public service, McGuigan was a member of the Consulting Practice and Geoscience Committees of the Engineers and Geoscientists of BC, an executive/director of the BC Neurological Centre, and president/director of the BC Centre for Ability Foundation.

McGuigan's geological expertise includes Fe-Ti-V-P in layered mafic intrusions, iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG), volcanogenic massive sulphide, porphyry Cu-Mo-Au, epithermal and orogenic gold, and diamond deposits.

Regarding the Radar V-Ti-Fe project, McGuigan has served in several relevant roles on similar projects. In his early career, he researched gravity and magnetic separations, which led to novel heavy mineral sampling methods. For Esso Minerals, he supervised the structural mapping and mineral resource estimation of a complexly deformed, copper-bearing massive magnetite deposit, significantly improving the head grade and supporting the re-opening of the 8,000 tpd underground Granduc Mine in BC.

Later, McGuigan co-founded a commercial laboratory with Acme Analytical (now part of the Bureau Veritas group), conducting mineral separations and identifying and testing indicator minerals.

For a private Latin American group of companies, McGuigan served as the Qualified Person for testing V-Ti-Fe in Proterozoic layered mafic intrusions, including drilling, bulk sampling, pilot mill construction, and the construction of an on-site laboratory for mineral separations, XRF analysis, and QAQC. For that same client, McGuigan supervised the definition drilling and resource estimation of a heavy mineral sands deposit, with significant Ti-Fe in titanomagnetite.

In Canada, McGuigan has served as the Qualified Person and reviewed numerous Superior and Grenville Province V-T-Fe (P) deposits in layered mafic intrusions. In certain projects, he secured government grants for metallurgical and critical mineral technology.

Radar Ti-V-Fe Project 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 mapped at 160km 2 on surface.

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.

Radar Ti-V-Fe Project 2025 Winter Drill Program Highlights:

  • 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% TiO₂ , and 0.435% V₂O₅ in HEZ-07
    • 57.7 meters grading 27.09% Fe, 5.305% TiO₂, and 0.365% V₂O₅ in HEZ-07
    • 25.0 meters grading 19.92% Fe , 4.14% TiO₂ , and 0.213% V₂O₅ 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% TiO₂, and 0.214% V₂O₅ in HEZ-06
    • 37 meters grading 12.4% Fe, 4.17% TiO₂, and 0.069% V₂O₅ in HEZ-02
    • 55 meters grading 11.37% Fe, 4.07% TiO₂, and 0.051% V₂O₅ in HEZ-03
      (Click here to see SAGA's news release dated May 5, 2025 for full details on holes HEZ-01 & HEZ-04, here to see SAGA's news release dated May 26, 2025 for full details on holes HEZ-05 & HEZ-07 and here to see SAGA's news release dated May 29, 2025 for full details on holes HEZ-06, HEZ-02 & 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 1 for map view) .
