SAGA Metals Mobilizes Final Team for Major Drill Program at Radar Project in
Labrador, Targeting Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate & Provides Corporate
Update
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 29, 2025 -- SAGA Metals Corp. (“SAGA” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SAGA)
(OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), a North American exploration company advancing critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to
confirm the full mobilization of exploration crews and equipment for its highly anticipated major diamond drill program at the
100% owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron (Ti-V-Fe) Project in southeastern Labrador, Canada.
With site preparations now in the final stages of completion, SAGA is ready to mobilize the rest of its exploration team as
drilling is set to commence in early November, targeting the expansion of known oxide mineralization at the Radar project and
advancing toward a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) over the Trapper Zone.
This major program represents a key milestone in delineating the project's potential as a strategic domestic source of
titanium, vanadium, and high-grade iron ore—minerals critical for defense, aerospace, renewable energy storage, and
advanced steel production.

program aimed at establishing Saga’s maiden mineral resource estimation.
Final Camp and Equipment Preparations:
With the geologists and drilling team set to arrive in the coming days, SAGA’s on-site team is working through the final stages
of camp preparations including personnel and kitchen trailer placement as well as furnishing a full core shack, cutting shack
and logging facility.

Meanwhile, the Gladiator Drilling crew from Springdale, Newfoundland has been doing final checks and maintenance on the
Duralite 800 drill and associated equipment. They are currently packing up and loading the trailers for mobilization.

“The Gladiator crew is busy at the shop today getting ready for the upcoming drill program for Saga Metals in Labrador,”
stated Josh Blundell, CEO of Gladiator Drilling. “We are incredibly privileged and excited about being part of the team with
Saga Metals and drilling the Trapper zone at the Radar Project. We had great success drilling the Hawkeye zone earlier this
year and look forward to doing what we do best once again, putting rocks in the box.”
Drill Program Objectives:
The Phase 1 Trapper Zone drill campaign will target:
• Grade continuity across a 3 km strike length.
• Oxide layering widths and continuity to depths of about 200 metres.
• Integration of structural insights from trenching and drilling into collar orientation and drill design.
• Initial drilling of 1,500-2,500 m in 6-10 holes, each about 250 m in depth will be completed before the December break.
• Test both the North and South sections of the Trapper zone prior to the break in order to fully grasp grade, width and
structure prior to initiating the detailed grid and drill sections in 2026 for the purposes of a mineral resource estimate.
• Drilling will be complemented by metallurgical sampling through the winter, with core from both the Hawkeye and
Trapper zones undergoing detailed metallurgical testing.

Zone, perpendicular to the magnetite-oxide layers (seen above as magnetic highs on TMI anomaly from the 2025 ground
survey).
Outlook on Phase 1 of Drilling at the Trapper Zone:
Phase 1 drilling at the Trapper Zone builds on significant milestones from 2025, including:
• Hawkeye drilling success: maiden drill program in early 2025, featuring a 2,209-metre, seven-hole diamond drill
campaign across the Hawkeye Zone. The program intersected broad zones of titanomagnetite-rich oxide layering, with
cumulative intersections displaying consistent grades of titanium dioxide (TiO 2), vanadium pentoxide (V 2O5) and iron
(Fe).
• Metallurgical readiness: Ongoing petrographic and mineralogical studies by Dr. Al Miller confirm those primary
magmatic textures favourable for downstream processing.
• Exploration momentum: Expanded property vision with preliminary metallurgical insights and confirmation of large-
scale oxide continuity across the Dykes River intrusive complex.
Together, these achievements support SAGA’s strategy of advancing Radar toward resource definition and positioning it as a
potential cornerstone critical minerals project in North America.
Advancing the Radar Project
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.

Hawkeye zone. The Property is well serviced by road access and is conveniently located near the town of Cartwright,
Labrador. A compilation of historical aeromagnetic anomalies is overlaid by ground-based geophysics as shown. SAGA has
demonstrated the reliability of the regional airborne magnetic surveys after ground-truthing and drilling in the 2024 and
2025 field programs.
“With the final team members mobilizing and the Gladiator drill rigs ready for the Trapper Zone, we’re on the cusp of
transforming Radar from discovery to resource. The 3+ km oxide trend we’ve sampled and trenched is now ready for
systematic drilling, and Phase 1 will give us the grade, width, and structural clarity needed to design the full 15,000-metre grid
for our maiden MRE in 2026. The camp is built, the core shack is furnished, and the community of Cartwright has been our
biggest supporter since day one. This is execution season for SAGA, and we look forward to providing updates along the way,”
stated Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of SAGA.
