SAGA Metals reported final assays from five holes at the Trapper Zone of its Radar titanium-vanadium-iron project near Cartwright, Labrador. Hole R-0092 returned 188.9 metres grading 39.54% Fe₂O₃, 5.94% TiO₂ and 0.285% V₂O₅; the interval includes 44.0 metres at 54.11% Fe₂O₃, 8.99% TiO₂ and 0.369% V₂O₅.

The company said the full program comprised 85 holes and 22,432 metres, with oxide mineralization intersected in every hole. The assay database is being transferred for independent resource modelling; a maiden NI 43-101 estimate was expected in Q4 2026, so the reported drilling is not itself a mineral resource. These lengths are down-hole assay intervals, not stated true thicknesses.
