SAGA Metals builds dataset for Trapper’s MRE

SAGA Metals (TSX-V:SAGA) is building the dataset for a maiden resource of the Trapper Zone, located within the Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project in Canada, with 10 holes completed totalling 2,000m of drilling.

Multiple holes have intercepted broad zones of semi-massive oxide up to 87.08m, confirming increased oxide concentration and thickness in the southeastern anomaly.

SAGA Metals says these holes show extensive rhythmic oxide layering and semi-massive mineralisation, hallmarks of the high-grade oxide sequences observed across the project. The drill rig has continued along the southwestern oxide anomaly in Trapper South and is active on drillhole R-0026.

Drilling is continuing to progress with the eleventh hole nearing completion.

Director Michael Garagan says the growing consistency in thickness, continuity and semi-massive character across about 700m strike reinforces the company’s confidence in the scale and quality of the oxide horizons.

“Having wrapped up the southeastern targets with R-0022, we’re now focused on the southwestern anomaly, systematically building the dataset needed for our maiden mineral resource estimate while unlocking the full potential of Trapper South,” Garagan says.

Sampling for three holes have been completed and assays are expected within one week.

The Radar Project spans 24,175 hectares and hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex.

SAGA Metals is a North American explorer and developer focused primarily on critical minerals that support the transition to supply security.

The company will be attending this year’s Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) held from 1-4 March 2026 in Toronto, Canada. Mining.com.au is a media partner for the convention and will be on the floor.
