SAGA Metals Reports Significant Drill Results from Maiden Drill Program at Radar Ti-V-Fe Project in Labrador

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 drill results from its 2025 maiden drill program at the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project, located near the port of Cartwright in Labrador, Canada.

The central zone of the Dykes River layered mafic intrusive complex exhibits a strong, accurate magnetic-high anomaly in regional magnetic surveys. The Company further defined its drill targets in 2024, after a detailed, ground-based geophysical program and surface sampling.

The initial 7-hole drill program (2,200 meters) has confidently tested the targets down to a depth of 200 meters, covering a 500-meter by 350-meter target panel.

Highlights:

  • Analytical results have been obtained for the first two diamond drill holes of the winter program.
  • Petrographic analysis and the new assays now confirm the main economic mineral is a vanadiferous titanomagnetite prospective for simplified metallurgical processing.
  • Exceptional intercepts of vanadiferous titanomagnetite included 31.5m @ 25.95% Fe + 5.34% TiO 2 + 0.28% V 2 O 5 in HEZ-01 and 50m @ 24.49% Fe + 4.74% TiO 2 + 0.305 % V 2 O 5 in HEZ-04. (See composites Table 1 below)
  • Massive magnetite high-grade samples including HEZ-01 with 0.3m @ 39.5% Fe + 9.4% TiO 2 + 0.339% V 2 O 5 and HEZ-01 with 0.5m @ 43.0% Fe + 9% TiO 2 + 0.512% V 2 O 5 . (See Table 2 below)
  • Titanomagnetite-rich intercepts average 20-40% titanomagnetite, with certain massive layers exceeding 60%.
  • Drilling to vertical depths of 200 meters confirms magnetic anomalies identified by geophysics.
  • Initial drilling covers just 1/40th of the identified 20 km strike extent of oxide layering zone in the Dykes River intrusion. (See Map Figure 2)

Drilling also confirmed massive to semi-massive oxide layering, hosting titanium and vanadium mineralization, with significant widths up to 210 meters within the drill core. The geological context identified by Dr. Al Miller's petrographic studies has substantially advanced understanding of the Radar projects mineralization. These findings indicate a titanomagnetite mineralization system which is advantageous for simplified metallurgical processing and potentially improved economic outcomes.

The 2025 drill campaign represents 1/40 th of the approximately 20km long oxide layering zone identified at the Radar project. Following these encouraging results, Saga Metals plans to systematically expand exploration using proven and accurate methodologies—magnetic surveys followed by targeted drilling.

"We are very encouraged by these initial drilling results," commented Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals . "They validate our geological models and significantly expand our expectations for the entire Radar property. The Hawkeye Zone is just one of five primary targets currently identified; excitingly, this zone remains one of the smallest prospects. Our strategy moving forward will involve methodically advancing exploration and drilling at our highest-priority targets. The door is now open to roll out a standardized order of operations. We know these layers are anomalous based upon surface geochemistry. Exploration moving forward is ‘magnetic survey - drill – repeat' as we begin to survey the entirety of the oxide layering zone and prepare to identify the most prospective targets for the next drill program."

Radar Ti-V-Fe Property 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 21,750-hectares and entirely encloses the Dykes River intrusive complex.

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.

Regional airborne magnetic surveys first highlighted the mafic oxide layer and indicated an arcuate 20 km long exploration target.
