of Warrant Money Exercised and Received since January 1, 2026
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED
STATES
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 22, 2026 -- SAGA Metals Corp. (“ SAGA” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SAGA) (OTCQB:
SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), a North American exploration company advancing critical mineral discoveries, announces today that it is
electing to accelerate the expiry of outstanding common share purchase warrants of the Company issued in connection with a
financing that closed in two tranches on May 23 and July 31, 2025 (the “ May Financing”) and a financing that closed on
October 10, 2025 (the “October Financing”; together with the May Financing, the “Financings”).
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.
Mike Stier, CEO & Director of Saga Metals commented: “We are thrilled to accelerate the expiry of these warrants, which
calls in approximately $3.6 million in additional funding from warrant exercises. This influx builds directly on the successful $9
million raised in Q4 2025, and over $675,000 brought in from warrant exercises since the start of the year, further bolstering
our treasury and positioning the Company in the strongest financial position in its history. With a robust cash runway secured
and major catalysts on the horizon throughout 2026—including key exploration results, project advancements, and potential
partnerships—we are well-equipped to execute our strategy and deliver significant value to shareholders.”
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants if the closing price of the
Company’s common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") equals or exceeds C$0.75 for 10 consecutive trading
days (the “Acceleration Period”), to the date that is 30 days following the dissemination of a news release announcing the
acceleration. As the closing price of the Company's common shares has equaled or exceeded C$0.75 per share over each of
the last 10 trading days ended January 22, 2026 on the TSXV, the Company hereby provides notice of the Acceleration Period
in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. The Company is exercising its right to accelerate the expiry of the Warrants
issued under the Financings to 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on February 21, 2026 (the " Accelerated Expiry Date"). Any
Warrants remaining unexercised after the Accelerated Expiry Date will expire and be of no force and effect.
The securities offered pursuant to the Financings have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities
Act of 1933 , as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act ”) or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the
United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons absent registration or any applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This news release shall
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in the United States, nor shall there be any sale of
these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
About the Radar Critical Mineral Property in Labrador, Canada
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.
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 1: Radar Project’s prospective oxide layering zone validated over ~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 15 out of 15 drill holes completed in two primary zones to-date.
• Analytical results to-date include numerous oxide-rich intercepts, including:
◦ R-0010: 135.50 m grading 50.03% Fe₂O₃, 7.87% TiO₂, and 0.352% V₂O₅.
◦ R-0011: 95.15 m grading 39.49% Fe₂O₃, 6.49% TiO₂, and 0.220% V₂O₅.
◦ R-0009: 87.20 m grading 50.67% Fe₂O₃, 10.15% TiO₂, 0.339% V₂O₅
◦ R-0008: 67.60 m grading 46.15% Fe₂O₃, 9.21% TiO₂, 0.311% V₂O₅
◦ R-0007: 57.70 m grading 27.09% Fe₂O₃, 5.31% TiO₂, 0.365% V₂O₅
• 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% TiO ₂,
and 0.66% V₂O₅.
• Petrographic analysis confirms titanomagnetite mineralization advantageous for simplified metallurgical processing.
Next Steps at the Radar Critical Mineral Project
The initial focus for the 2026 Radar Project drill program will be in the southern section of the Trapper Zone, also known as
“Trapper South.” SAGA’s geological team and Gladiator’s drill crews will take advantage of the extensive trail network created
in the summer of 2025, allowing for an easy traverse for snowmobiles and the excavator used to move the drill. Drilling will
begin at the southeastern extent of Trapper South, targeting approximately 30 holes (7,500 m). The program will then advance
hole by hole back toward Trapper North, positioning the team to complete the remainder of the MRE drill campaign by spring.

to Trapper North.

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.
