SAGA Metals (TSX-V:SAGA) has joined the Defense Industrial Base Consortium (DIBC), a US Department of Defense-supported initiative, which enhances SAGA’s ability to engage with the broader ecosystem focused on strengthening North American supply chain security.
DIBC membership strengthens SAGA’s position within the growing network of companies, research institutions, and government partners working to enhance the resilience and security of North American critical mineral supply chains that support defence, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, and national security priorities.
CEO Mike Stier says joining the DIBC reflects the strategic importance of the company’s critical minerals portfolio, particularly the Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project in Labrador, Canada.
“As we continue advancing our projects toward resource definition and development, this membership enhances our ability to engage with the broader ecosystem focused on strengthening North American supply chain security,” Stier says.
The consortium focuses on accelerating innovation and addressing supply chain vulnerabilities across priority areas, including critical chemicals and minerals, rare earths, energy storage and batteries, microelectronics, castings and forgings, small unmanned aerial systems, and other technologies.
What’s on SAGA’s Radar
Earlier this week, SAGA announced it was one drill hole away from completing the mineral resource drill program at the Trapper Zone within the Radar Project.
Director Michael Garagan says the results continue to show the continuity and consistency of oxide mineralisation across the Trapper Zone.
“Given the massive intercepts of semi-massive oxide encountered in Trapper North, management decided to add two additional holes to the program to collect critical structural data that will further strengthen the resource model,” Garagan says.
“We remain highly encouraged by the scale and quality of the mineralisation as we advance toward our maiden MRE.”
The Trapper Zone forms part of an oxide corridor that includes the Falcon and Hawkeye zones, collectively covering 29km2.
Radar comprises 690 mineral claims across nine mineral licences, totalling 24,175 hectares in southeastern Labrador. The property entirely encloses the Dykes River Intrusive Complex and is accessible all year.
SAGA Metals is an explorer focused on uncovering a diversified suite of critical minerals that support the North American transition to supply security.
