SAGA Metals (TSX-V:SAGA) has begun a 2026 drilling program to deliver a maiden resource estimate at the Trapper Zone within the Radar Project in Labrador, Canada.
This phase of drilling focuses on expanding and confirming the expensive oxide zones identified in prior drilling. The first hole has begun on Section S8 and will move to Section S4 once hole R-0016 is completed.
SAGA notes drilling is anticipated to be completed within five weeks, after which drilling will transition to the central portion of the Trapper South Zone.
Director Michael Garagan says technical teams returned last week and were diligent in completing a full assay core review of all returned sampling; correlating anomalies to observed lithology and structures and prepping trails and drill pads.
“With strong continuity already observed, we are methodically drilling toward a maiden mineral resource and aiming to unlock the district-scale potential of Radar,” Garagan says.
As previously reported, SAGA received drill results from the Radar Project earlier this month, which strengthened the company’s titanium thesis.
The highlighted results include 36m @ 6.57% titanium oxide, 0.244% vanadium pentoxide, 36.21% iron oxide; and 296.47m @ 7.46% titanium oxide, 0.250% vanadium pentoxide, and 39.75% iron oxide.
Radar, covering 24,175 hectares, hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex which covers 160km2. The project is considered prospective for titanium, vanadium, and iron.
SAGA Metals is a North American mining company focused on exploring a diversified suite of critical metals that support that transition to supply security.
