Executive Summary

The most recent news release (March 18, 2026) reports assay results for three additional drill holes (R-0018 to R-0020) at the Trapper South zone of the Radar Project. Key intercepts include 45.7m at 49.51% Fe2O3, 6.56% TiO2, and 0.374% V2O5. The company has now completed 21 holes in the 2026 program (4,492 meters) and has confirmed mineralization in 100% of the 36 holes drilled to date across the project. Additionally, the company engaged Integral Wealth Securities for market-making services to improve liquidity.

Material Impact

The news is categorized as Routine - Positive. While the grades are high and the consistency is impressive (36 for 36 success rate), these results are incremental and largely in line with the visual observations and preliminary assays reported earlier in March 2026. - Consistency: The results confirm that the high-grade "semi-massive" oxide mineralization identified in the first two holes of 2026 (R-0016/17) continues through the southeastern anomaly. - Scale: Validating broad intercepts (40m to 70m) of iron, titanium, and vanadium supports the company’s objective of a Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). - Market Liquidity: The appointment of a market maker is a standard corporate move for a junior explorer looking to manage volatility as it gains retail and institutional attention.

Company Overview

SAGA Metals is focused on the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project in Labrador, Canada. The project covers the Dykes River intrusive complex (160 km²). It targets Vanadiferous Titanomagnetite (VTM), which provides exposure to three markets: Steel (Iron), Aerospace/Defense (Titanium), and Energy Storage (Vanadium). The project is notable for its proximity to tidewater (10km from Cartwright) and existing infrastructure.
