SAGA Metals Engages Dias Airborne for Advanced Geophysical Survey over Entire Oxide Layering Strike Connecting Trapper and Hawkeye Zones at Radar Critical Minerals Project in Labrador

• On 2026‑04‑08 SAGA announced it has engaged Dias Airborne Ltd. to fly a 157‑line, helicopter‑borne QMAGT (full‑tensor magnetic gradiometry) survey over the entire oxide‑layering strike that links the Hawkeye and Trapper zones at its Radar Ti‑V‑Fe project in Labrador.
• The survey will deliver unprecedented directional magnetic gradient data, improving geological modelling and supporting an imminent mineral resource estimate for the Trapper zone.
• Earlier 2025‑26 drilling (45 holes, 8,144 m total) confirmed mineralisation in 100 % of holes with high‑grade oxide intercepts (up to 64.55 % Fe₂O₃, 13.3 % TiO₂, 0.66 % V₂O₅).
• The new airborne data are expected to refine target definition for additional drilling and highlight “blue‑sky” extensions beyond the current drill footprint.

• Scope: The survey covers the entire oxide‑layering strike (≈ 16 km) rather than isolated segments, providing a dataset that was previously unavailable.
• Timing: Conducted immediately after a successful 2025‑26 drilling campaign and before the planned 2026 drill program, it directly de‑ridges a key technical risk – geological uncertainty of continuity along strike.
• Market reaction potential: The upgrade from conventional magnetic surveys to full‑tensor QMAGT is rare in early‑stage exploration and signals a higher confidence level. This can attract new capital (e.g., strategic investors) and justify the recent financing activity.
• Comparison to prior news: Earlier releases focused on drill results and financing; this survey adds new technical information that materially improves the project’s definition, justifying a “Material – Positive” rating rather than routine.

SAGA Metals Corp. is a TSX‑Venture listed explorer focused on critical minerals for North American defense and clean‑energy supply chains. Its flagship asset is the Radar Ti‑V‑Fe Project (24,175 ha) in southern Labrador, hosting the Dykes River layered mafic intrusion with district‑scale oxide‑rich titanomagnetite‑ilmenite mineralisation. The project benefits from excellent logistics: road access, deep‑water port, hydroelectric power and an airstrip near Cartwright.
