SAGA Metals Corp. has returned assay results from three additional diamond drill holes at the Trapper Zone within its 100%-owned Radar Critical Minerals Project near Cartwright, Labrador, highlighted by hole R-0072 intersecting 470 metres grading 36.72% Fe2O3, 5.40% TiO2, and 0.245% V2O5.

The drill program at the Trapper Zone, which forms part of an oxide lopolith covering 29 square kilometres that also encompasses the Falcon and Hawkeye Zones, has now been completed. The property covers approximately 24,175 hectares across nine mineral licenses in southeastern Labrador and entirely encloses the Dykes River Intrusive Complex.

Hole R-0072 included several higher-grade internal intervals, such as a 69.2-metre section grading 51.03% Fe2O3, 8.55% TiO2, and 0.334% V2O5 starting deeper downhole. Additional assays from the batch included hole R-0073, which returned 116.3 metres at 36.73% Fe2O3, 5.74% TiO2, and 0.225% V2O5, and hole R-0074, which yielded 116.7 metres at 42.21% Fe2O3, 6.53% TiO2, and 0.281% V2O5.

Assay results remain pending for 3,088 samples from drill holes R-0075 through R-0092. Saga Metals expects to receive and release those analytical results within the next two to three weeks.

In parallel with the assay work, GeoGlobal LLC is preparing an independent NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate and technical report for the Radar Project using data compiled from the completed diamond drill program.

“Trapper North is continuing to show us the heart of this system and the significance of these intercepts as they are outlaid together across the cross sections. Drill hole R-0072 adds incredible length at 470 metres (1,542 feet) of continuous, correlated titanium, vanadium and iron, including 69.2 metres at 51.03% Fe2O3, 8.55% TiO2 and 0.334% V2O5. Put that length against something people already know: Central Park Tower in Manhattan, the world's tallest residential building, stands 472.4 metres ( see Figure 2 below ).”

“When an intercept of that length sits inside a cross section that already includes R-0008 through R-0011, you are no longer describing a target. You are describing a body with thickness, continuity and grade that can be modelled.”
