SAGA Metals Highlights Progress at Radar and Wolverine Projects in Labrador

SAGA Metals Corp., a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discoveries, has announced that its projects in Labrador have been featured in a series of articles by The Northern Miner, a respected publication in the mining and exploration industry. The articles, published on September 16 and September 4, 2026, highlight the company’s progress at its Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron and Wolverine Heavy Rare Earth Element projects.

Blair McBride, a reporter from The Northern Miner, conducted a combined site visit to both projects, traveling first to the Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project near Cartwright and then by helicopter to the Wolverine Heavy Rare Earth Element camp near Hopedale. The visit produced two site-visit features and supporting video, marking the second consecutive year The Northern Miner has covered SAGA’s Labrador assets.

At the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project, SAGA’s Chief Geological Officer, Michael Garagan, hosted the visit. The project, located about 10 kilometers south of Cartwright, is situated on Route 510, with access to the Cartwright deep-water port, airport, and regional hydroelectric facilities. The project encompasses the 160 square kilometers of the Dykes River Intrusive Complex, and recent drilling has outlined a large oxide-bearing lopolith hosting the Trapper, Falcon, and Hawkeye zones.

SAGA has completed a 22,000+ meter diamond drill program at the Trapper zone, with GeoGlobal engaged to prepare an independent report due in the fourth quarter of 2026. Recent drilling intercepts include 187.0 meters @ 41.61% Fe₂O₃, 6.07% TiO₂, 0.280% V₂O₅ (R-0064) and 128.0 meters @ 46.11% Fe₂O₃, 6.79% TiO₂, 0.326% V₂O₅ (R-0065), including 65.8 meters @ 49.48% Fe₂O₃, 7.24% TiO₂, 0.373% V₂O₅. Hole R-0072: 470 meters @ 36.72% Fe₂O₃, 5.40% TiO₂, 0.245% V₂O₅, including 69.2 meters @ 51.03% Fe₂O₃, 8.55% TiO₂, 0.334% V₂O₅, ending in mineralization.

The Northern Miner’s visit to the Radar project in October 2025 highlighted the ongoing exploration efforts, with trucks, ATVs, and drill rigs working through the forest. The recent return visit in September 2026 showcases a much larger drill database and the project’s progress towards a maiden mineral resource estimate.

At the Wolverine Heavy REE Project, also in Northeast Labrador, the visit lifted into a valley about 12 kilometers inland from the Atlantic and roughly 50 kilometers west of Hopedale. The project, hosted within a peralkaline caldera complex, shares geological similarities with the Strange Lake, Labrador, and Tanbreez, Greenland deposits. SAGA’s 2025 RC drilling program outlined broad, near-surface TREO across an area of approximately 1.7 kilometers by 1.2 kilometers.

The 2025 RC drilling program included 25 holes, totaling 817 meters, with notable intercepts such as WOLRC25-003: 48.8 meters @ 0.77% TREO from 1.5 meters, including 18.3 meters @ 1.06% TREO, and WOLRC25-006: 38.1 meters @ 0.71% TREO from surface, including 4.6 meters @ 1.53% TREO, with a 1.5-3 meters interval at 2.03% TREO. Heavy rare earth oxides typically account for about 24-28% of the TREO in the drilling and surface work, with surface sampling on the expanded land package reaching up to 21.6% TREO.

SAGA’s diamond program of 3,000-5,000 meters is focused on mapping, 100 meters grid/200 meters step-outs on the shallow-dipping REE volcanic ash tuff, other prospects, and met sample collection. The first diamond holes, W26-001 and W26-002, have been completed, with W26-001 reaching 182 meters and cutting 169 meters of the prospective REE-bearing unit.

The Northern Miner’s coverage of both projects underscores SAGA’s commitment to advancing critical mineral exploration in Labrador. The combined visit captures the same field season from two different systems: a layered mafic oxide intrusion at Radar, and a near-surface heavy-REE volcanic system at Wolverine. The articles provide independent confirmation of SAGA’s progress and the potential of its Labrador assets.
