SAGA Metals Achieves 100% Drilling Success in 2025-Reports Final Assays from Trapper South at Radar Critical Minerals Project in Labrador

SAGA Validates District-Scale Potential in Labrador as Drill Bit Delivers 100% Success Rate

Executive Summary

The most recent news release (February 4, 2026) announces the final 2025 assay results from the Trapper South zone at the Radar Project in Labrador. SAGA reported a 100% drilling success rate for the 2025 program, with all 15 holes intersecting the targeted vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) mineralization. Standout intercepts include hole R-0010 (135.5m at 50.03% Fe2O3, 7.87% TiO2, and 0.352% V2O5) and R-0015 (100.7m at 38.56% Fe2O3 and 6.80% TiO2). Management notes that 2026 drilling is already underway, with semi-massive to massive oxide concentrations identified in the first four holes of the new year, exceeding initial geological expectations for the Trapper South area.

Material Impact

This news is materially positive for several reasons: - Resource De-risking: A 15-for-15 hit rate on a maiden program significantly de-risks the geological model. The consistency of grades (especially TiO2 and V2O5) across a 16km strike length suggests a massive, continuous system rather than isolated pockets. - Scale Confirmation: The confirmation of "rhythmic banding" and "massive mineralization" in Trapper South, which was previously thought to be less prolific than Trapper North, increases the overall tonnage potential for the upcoming Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). - Supply Chain Relevance: High-grade titanium and vanadium are classified as critical minerals in North America. By positioning the Radar project near tidewater with existing infrastructure, the company is effectively targeting the "domestic supply chain" narrative currently favored by government and defense sectors.
