VANCOUVER, B.C. – September 15, 2026 – SAGA Metals Corp. ("SAGA" or the "Company") (TSXV:

SAGA) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), a North American exploration company focused on critical

mineral discoveries, is pleased to report additional assay results from drill holes R-0072, -0073, and

-0074 drilled as part of its maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") diamond drill program

completed in August 2026 at the Trapper Zone within the 100% -owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-

Iron Project near Cartwright, Labrador, Canada. The Trapper Zone forms part of an oxide lopolith that

includes the Falcon and Hawkeye Zones collectively covering 29 square kilometres (Figure 1).

Figure 1: The Radar Property with the Dias QMAGT vertical gradient (Bzz) anomaly footprint shown in red

(high-amplitude pixels only). The QMAGT-imaged central oxide-layering lopolith validated over 29 km2,

encompassing the Trapper Zone, Hawkeye Zone, and the new Falcon Zone.

Analytical results received for three (3) additional diamond drill holes (R-0072 to R-0074) from the

MRE drill program initiated in Q4 2025, delivering consistent broad intercepts of oxide mineralization.

Key intercepts include:

• Hole R-0072: 470.0 m @ 36.72% Fe2O3, 5.40% TiO2, 0.245% V2O5

o Including 126.2 m @ 37.73% Fe2O3, 5.39% TiO2, 0.281% V2O5

o Including 183.2 m @ 46.44% Fe2O3, 7.52% TiO2, 0.307% V2O5

o Including 66.8 m @ 50.06% Fe2O3, 8.07% TiO2, 0.349% V2O5

o Including 69.2 m @ 51.03% Fe2O3, 8.55% TiO2, 0.334% V2O5

• Hole R-0073: 116.3 m @ 36.73% Fe2O3, 5.74% TiO2, 0.225% V2O5

o Including 54.6 m @ 44.40% Fe2O3, 6.95% TiO2, 0.303% V2O5

• Hole R-0074: 116.7 m @ 42.21% Fe2O3, 6.53% TiO2, 0.281% V2O5

Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of SAGA Metals, commented:

“Trapper North is continuing to show us the heart of this system and the s ignificance of these

intercepts as they are outlaid together across the cross sections. Drill hole R-0072 adds incredible

length at 470 metres (1,542 feet) of continuous, correlated titanium, vanadium and iron, including

69.2 metres at 51.03% Fe2O3, 8.55% TiO2 and 0.334% V2O5. Put that length against something

people already know: Central Park Tower in Manhattan, the world’s tallest residential building, stands

472.4 metres (see Figure 2 below).

When an intercept of that length sits inside a cross section that already includes R-0008 through R-

0011, you are no longer describing a target. You are describing a body with thickness, continuity and

grade that can be modelled.

What matters for the MRE is that the chemistry does not fall apart at the edges of those long runs, in

fact R-0072 ended in mineralization. The high-grade cores stay coherent, the shoulders remain oxide-

bearing, and the metals stay locked in the same ratio we have been seeing across Trapper. That is

e x a c t l y t h e b e h a v i o u r y o u w a n t h e a d i n g i n t o a fi r s t r e s o u r c e : a t h i c k , i n t e r n a l l y c o n s i s t e n t oxide

package that can be constrained in 3D rather than stitched together from isolated hits. These assays

reaffirm some of the most important sections on the property and setting the stage for a robust

maiden mineral resource estimate. ”

Detailed Logging Highlights from Drill Hole R-0072 to R-0074

• Hole R-0072 (Cross-Section N11, Figure 2): Drill hole R-0072 is drilled on cross-section N11

with an azimuth of 38 and dipping -70°, with a total depth of 473 m. The oxide zone intersected

at 51.8 m is 342.1 m (true thickness 241.9 m) consisting of 255.9 m of semi-massive and 86.2

m of rhythmic layering oxide.

• Hole R-0073 (Cross-Section T04, Figure 3): Drill hole R-0073 is drilled on cross-section T04

with an azimuth of 38 and dipping -65°, with a total depth of 254 m. The oxide zone intersected

at 46.0 m is 109.9 m (true thickness 97.9 m) consisting of 58.6 m of semi-massive and 51.3

m of rhythmic layering oxide.

• Hole R-0074 (Cross-Section N08, Figure 4): Drill hole R-0074 is drilled on cross-section N08

with an azimuth of 21 8 and dipping -55°, with a total depth of 332 m. The oxide zone

intersected at 172.0 m is 120.7 m (true thickness 100.2 m) consisting of 97.2 m of semi -

massive and 23.5 m of rhythmic layering oxide.
