SAGA Metals Reports Channel Sample Assay Results at Double Mer Uranium Project

SAGA Metals Reports Channel Sample Assay Results at Double Mer Uranium Project

Saga Metals Corp. ("SAGA" or the "Company"), a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discovery in Canada, is pleased to share the channel sample assay results from its inaugural field program at the Double Mer Uranium Project, located in eastern Labrador, Canada.

Key Channel Sample Assay Highlights:

  • Ch-DM24-075 returned 0.87 meters at 0.062% U 3 O 8 (DNC)
  • Ch-DM24-056 returned 0.45 meters at 0.048% U 3 O 8 (DNC)
  • Ch-DM24-078 returned 1.00 meter at 0.043% U 3 O 8 (DNC)
  • Ch-DM24-053 returned 0.65 meters at 0.042% U 3 O 8 (DNC)
  • Ch-DM24-081 returned 3.00 meters at 0.024% U 3 O 8 (DNC)
  • Ch-DM24-078 returned 3.00 meters at 0.023% U 3 O 8 (DNC)

Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals Corp. commented: "What should be noted as the most significant concept of these results is that we have economic U 3 O 8 % in the channels from 0.015-0.062 U 3 O 8 % in pegmatites which strike 18 km. We have higher grade rock samples mapped in the areas among these channel samples showing the opportunity for more anomalous intercepts. The field mapping combined with uranium count radiometrics demonstrates that these pegmatites can be up to 500m wide in places and often averaging 200-300 m in width. This is the recipe we need in order to identify significant tonnage and that's where a systematic method to drilling can pay off. What's exciting about the Double Mer project is that we don't need to overspend on a drilling strategy that focuses on chasing high grades. We just need to methodically test these zones across strike, step by step and with that will come the more exciting intercepts which can bolster composites and potentially the necessary data to support large tonnage."

2024 Field Program Results at the Double Mer Uranium Project

The Double Mer Uranium Project spans 25,600 hectares (1,024 claims), located about 90 kilometers northeast of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador. Significant historical data provided a strong head start for the 2024 field season, which confirmed a 14-kilometer trend with surface samples showing uranium oxide (U3O8) concentrations as high as 0.428% U 3 O 8 and scintillometer readings up to 27,000 cps —surpassing the historical benchmark of 21,000 cps.

During the 2024 field season the team was able to cut several channel samples across the three identified priority zones. Unlike rock samples, channel samples are a continuous cut across the pegmatite. Where rock was exposed, the team was able to capture several small windows; between 1–4-meter cuts across the pegmatites to start to gauge what the grade may be across the entire pegmatite body. Prior to drilling this is the most accurate technique in a field teams' arsenal to collect data on the width and composites of zones.

SAGA's exploration team confirmed and expanded on historical findings, with highlights including:

  • CPS Readings Surpass Expectations: Field measurements exceeded historical benchmarks, with multiple zones recording readings above 5,000 cps and notable peaks of 22,000 CPS in an outcrop and 27,000 CPS in a sub-rounded boulder—surpassing the historical 21,000 CPS benchmark.
  • Strong U3O8 Presence: Channel and rock samples across the Luivik, Nanuk, and Katjuk zones confirm the presence of uraniferous pegmatites, underscoring the project's resource potential.
  • Extended Mineralization Trend: Results suggest the uranium trend could extend further than initially mapped, opening new exploration opportunities.

Some of the more encouraging results from the 2024 channel program show composite grades of 0.87m of 0.062 % U3O8, 0.65m of 0.039% U3O8, and 3m of 0.024 % U3O8. The Luivik zone can boast the most anomalous grades such as from channel Ch-D24-07 - 0.87m of 0.062 % U3O8, Ch-D24-074 – 0.95m of 0.032 % U3O8, Ch-D24-081 – 3m of 0.024 % U3O8 and Ch-D24-078 – 3m of 0.023 % U3O8. The results of the rock and channel surface samples continue to maintain the range of U 3 O 8 grades associated with the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) projects to the north of the Double Mer Uranium project.

Double Mer and its Comparable Potential to Labrador's Central Mineral Belt (CMB):

SAGA positions the Double Mer Uranium Project alongside some of Labrador's most significant uranium discoveries, including Paladin Energy's Michelin and Atha Energy's CMB discoveries in the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) . With strong surface samples and radiometric trends, SAGA believes Double Mer could offer large-tonnage potential comparable to these established projects. The CMB is a premier uranium region in Labrador and is host to several notable uranium projects including:

Paladin Energy 1 :

  • Covers 98,000 hectares in the CMB, north of Double Mer.
  • Hosts 127.7Mlb of uranium mineral resources across six deposits.
  • The Michelin deposit, its largest, contains 92Mlb uranium, with 82.2Mlb classified as Measured and Indicated at an average grade of 0.086% U3O8.

Atha Energy 2 :

  • Spans 145,000 hectares in the CMB, contiguous with Paladin's holdings and North of Double Mer.
  • Historical uranium resources total 14.5Mlb, with Moran Lake contributing 5.2Mlb (indicated) and 4.4Mlb (inferred), while Anna Lake offers 4.9Mlb (inferred).
  • Historical grades average 0.03%–0.04% U3O8, underscoring the region's scalability potential.

The table above highlights and supports the large tonnage low grade uranium discussion found in Labrador. The cutoff grade in the table above ranges from 0.015-0.05% U 3 O 8 4 . These grades and those identified on SAGA's property are comparable to similar deposit styles throughout other major mining districts in the world such as Australia, Kazakhstan, Namibia, and Argentina. The Olympic Dam is the world's largest deposit of uranium, and accounts for most of Australia's uranium resources. The deposit contains uranium grades average from 0.035 to 0.07% U, the higher-grade mineralization being pitchblende 5 .

Commitment to Quality: Robust QA/QC Protocols

SAGA followed a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program to ensure data accuracy and reliability. The program included:

  1. Regular Quality Control Samples : One quality control sample (blanks, duplicates, or standards) was inserted every 10 samples.
  2. Focused QA/QC for Promising Mineralogy : Additional blanks, duplicates, and standards were added for samples showing promising uranium mineralization in the field.
  3. Strict Sample Custody : SAGA maintained full chain-of-custody control from sampling through to laboratory delivery.

This robust QA/QC approach ensures the reliability of assay results and demonstrates SAGA's commitment to industry-leading exploration standards.

Q1 2025 Double Mer Drill Program: Targeting the High-Potential Luivik Zone

The Luivik zone , located at the western end of the 18-kilometer trend, has been prioritized for SAGA's maiden drill program in 2025. This decision is based on several compelling factors:

  • Anomalous Uranium Geochemistry : Surface samples show elevated uranium (U3O8%) grades, consistent with enrichment processes.
  • IOCG-Style Fluid Enrichment : Iron phase IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) characteristics, including smoky quartz and iron carbonate staining, indicate late-stage fluid flow—a known factor for uranium enrichment and high-grade intercepts.
  • Consistent CPS Readings : Radiometric surveys in the zone show consistently elevated counts per second (CPS) , highlighting its uranium potential.
  • Logistically accessible : The Luivik zone is only a km away from camp making the site serviceable by snowmobiles during the winter months.

This 1,500-meter drill program will test the Luivik zone's mineralization and provide key data to guide further exploration across the property.

Following the drill program at the Luivik zone, SAGA will turn its sights on the Nanuk zone which shows the most impressive strike with almost 4km of economic U3O8% grade surface samples. Considering the Nanuk zones length and distance from camp the Team will be looking to test this zone with the diamond drill in Q2 and Q3 2025.
