SAGA Metals Corp. (SAGMF) is frequently featured in news releases as a North American exploration company advancing a portfolio of critical mineral projects in Canada. Its updates focus heavily on drilling, assay results and geological interpretations at the Radar Titanium–Vanadium–Iron (Ti-V-Fe) Project near Cartwright, Labrador, along with progress at its uranium, lithium and iron ore properties.
Recent SAGA news has centered on the Trapper Zone within the Radar Project, where the company reports its strongest titanium, vanadium and iron oxide drill results to date. Releases describe long intervals of semi-massive to massive oxide mineralization in holes such as R-0008 and R-0009, validation of a 3+ km magnetic anomaly and confirmation of an oxide layering trend that extends between the Hawkeye and Trapper zones. The company also issues updates on structural geology, drill program phases and plans for a maiden mineral resource estimate.
Beyond Radar, SAGA’s news flow includes field program results at the North Wind Iron Ore Project in the Labrador Trough, where grab samples have returned high Fe₂O₃ values and Davis Tube tests indicate magnetite-rich taconite-style mineralization. Additional releases discuss the Double Mer Uranium Project’s radiometric trends and uranium samples, as well as the Legacy Lithium and Amirault lithium properties in Quebec’s Eeyou Istchee James Bay region.
Investors and observers can use this news page to follow SAGA’s ongoing drill campaigns, assay releases, technical interpretations, corporate updates and financing or marketing arrangements that support its exploration programs across titanium, vanadium, iron, uranium and lithium assets.
SAGA Metals (SAGMF) completed its maiden diamond drilling program at the wholly owned Wolverine Heavy Rare Earth Element Project in Labrador. The program comprised 22 holes totalling 3,241 metres. Preliminary logging identified alteration interpreted as associated with rare earth element mineralization in every hole; assays remain pending.
Two holes are fully logged and sampled, with alteration intervals of 180.2 metres and approximately 178.65 metres. Logging and sampling continue on the remaining 20 holes. Prospecting collected 136 grab samples, with assays pending, and identified additional pegmatites and aplite dykes beyond the drill area. SAGA plans an induced polarization geophysical survey in Q2 2027; its interpretation, combined with geological and assay results, is expected to guide follow-up drilling targeting downward extensions of interpreted hydrothermal feeder structures.

SAGA Metals (SAGMF) received the final assays for its Trapper Zone drilling campaign, completing the database for a maiden mineral resource estimate. The campaign at its 100%-owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project in Labrador finished in August 2026, with 85 holes totaling 22,432 metres. Every hole intersected oxide mineralization.
The final five holes included R-0092, which returned 188.9 metres grading 39.54% iron oxide, 5.94% titanium dioxide and 0.285% vanadium pentoxide. Within that interval, 44.0 metres graded 54.11%, 8.99% and 0.369%, respectively. GeoGlobal is preparing the independent resource estimate and supporting NI 43-101 technical report, which SAGA expects in Q4 2026. Bench-scale testing achieved recoveries up to 90.8% titanium, 97.4% vanadium and 91.5% iron; Stage 2 optimization targets product samples and engineering data to evaluate advancement toward mini-pilot testing.
SAGA Metals (SAGMF) reported six additional drill-hole assay results from its completed maiden resource-estimate drilling program at Radar in Labrador. Hole R-0085 returned 495.6 m grading 37.86% iron oxide (Fe2O3), 5.51% titanium dioxide (TiO2) and 0.273% vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), including 68.2 m at 52.95%, 8.57% and 0.381%, respectively. The other five holes returned reported assay intervals of 25.8–80.9 m.
The program at the 100%-owned project's Trapper Zone completed 85 holes totaling 22,432 m, with results released for 80 holes. All drill holes intersected oxide mineralization. Laboratory analysis is complete, and the company expects assays for R-0088 through R-0092 within the next week. GeoGlobal has been engaged to prepare the independent maiden mineral resource estimate and technical report. Bench-scale testing confirmed recoveries up to 90.8% titanium, 97.4% vanadium and 91.5% iron.

Hole R-0085 returned 495.6 m grading 37.86% iron oxide (Fe2O3), 5.51% titanium dioxide (TiO2) and 0.273% vanadium pentoxide (V2O5). That interval included 68.2 m at 52.95% Fe2O3, 8.57% TiO2 and 0.381% V2O5. The other five holes reported assay intervals of 51.8 m, 25.8 m, 80.9 m, 46.3 m and 43.1 m.
The maiden mineral resource estimate drilling program was completed in August 2026, totaling 22,432 metres. Results have been received for 80 holes, while the cross-section figures identify additional assays as pending. SAGA said the results support modeling the oxide layers, folds and true widths for its first Trapper Zone resource estimate. The separately logged oxide zone in R-0085 had a reported true thickness of 284.2 m.
SAGA Metals (SAGMF) has begun Stage 2 optimization with Temas Resources on mineralization from its Radar project in Labrador. The approximately eight-week bench-scale program will compare two run-of-mine Massive Oxide samples and refine regenerative chloride leaching and solvent extraction for titanium, vanadium and iron. It aims to establish reproducible processing conditions, produce first high-purity product samples and generate engineering criteria.
In previously reported Stage 1 tests, an ilmenite concentrate yielded recoveries of 90.8% titanium, 97.4% vanadium and 91.5% iron. Stage 2 results will inform a decision on a proposed mini-pilot, which remains subject to successful completion of Phase 1 and SAGA approval. The proposed mini-pilot is expected to run over 10 weeks if approved; SAGA also targets a preliminary economic assessment in 2027.
SAGA Metals (SAGMF) reported new assay results from seven diamond drill holes (R-0075 to R-0081) from its completed maiden Mineral Resource Estimate drill program at the Trapper Zone of the 100%-owned Radar titanium-vanadium-iron project near Cartwright, Labrador.
The standout intercept is hole R-0075, which cut 485.4 m grading 32.21% Fe2O3, 5.30% TiO2 and 0.191% V2O5, including 56.8 m at 49.56% Fe2O3, 8.17% TiO2 and 0.339% V2O5, and several other high-grade sub-intervals.
