SAGA Metals (TSX-V:SAGA) has engaged Dias Airborne to conduct an airborne geophysical survey at the Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project in Canada.
Director Michael Garagan says the resulting data will be critical for accurately modelling our geology and supporting the upcoming resource at the Trapper target while highlighting “blue-sky potential” beyond the current drilling area.
“Partnering with Dias Airborne to deploy their advanced QMAGT technology across the full strike of the oxide layering is a major milestone for the Radar Project,” Garagan says.
“This survey will provide unprecedented resolution to verify the full extent of the magnetic anomalies across the entire system linking Hawkeye and Trapper.”
Dias’ QMAGT system is a helicopter-borne magnetic survey system that measures the magnetic field. Dias is expected to begin mobilisation next week and execute the airborne survey towards the end of April.
This news comes after SAGA received drill results from the Trapper Zone, which provided a “strong” foundation for metallurgical testing and resource modelling.
Hole R-0022 returned 30.6m @ 49.40% iron oxide, 6.61% titanium dioxide, and 0.373% vanadium pentoxide, while hole R-0023 returned 86m @ 45.5% iron oxide, 5.50% titanium dioxide, and 0.367% vanadium pentoxide.
Eight holes have now been received, as part of the maiden resource estimate diamond drilling program at the Tapper Zone.
The Radar Project, covering 24,175 hectares, hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex, a unique position among Western explorers. Geological mapping, geophysics, and trenching have already confirmed oxide layering across more than 20km of strike length with mineralisation open for expansion.
SAGA Metals is a North American explorer focused on discovering a diversified suite of critical minerals that support the North American transition to supply security.
