SAGA Metals Provides Update on MRE Drilling Program at Trapper South, Radar Critical Minerals Project in Labrador
SAGA Metals Hits Seven for Seven in Labrador as Radar Project Eyes Maiden Resource
The most recent news release (February 12, 2026) reports the completion of seven diamond drill holes totaling 1,244 meters at the Trapper South anomaly within the Radar Critical Minerals Project in Labrador. The company confirmed visual oxide mineralization in every hole logged to date. Key observations include semi-massive to massive oxide intercepts and rhythmic layering. The drilling targeted the southeastern anomaly of Trapper South, and the company is now moving the rig to the western limb. Assays for these holes are currently pending.
This update has a material positive impact as it confirms the geological continuity of the Radar Project’s oxide system. The fact that mineralization was observed in all seven holes suggests that the geophysical magnetic anomalies the company is using to target are highly reliable.
Resource Building Progress
The news validates the strategy to advance toward a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in 2026. By wrapping up the southeastern section of Trapper South, SAGA is systematically de-risking the strike length of the deposit.
Technical Validation
The presence of "semi-massive to massive" mineralization in every hole reinforces the potential for high-grade titanium, vanadium, and iron, as seen in previous assay batches (e.g., R-0010 which graded 50.03% Fe2O3 and 7.87% TiO2). However, visual logging is not a substitute for assays; the final economic impact will depend on the chemical grades of these specific intercepts.
SAGA Metals is a North American exploration company focused on critical minerals. Its flagship project is the Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project in Labrador, Canada, which encompasses the 160 sq km Dykes River intrusive complex. The project benefits from high-grade surface mineralization and significant infrastructure, including road access and proximity to a deep-water port in Cartwright. SAGA also holds the Double Mer Uranium project in Labrador and the Legacy Lithium project in Quebec (under option to Rio Tinto).
