(TSXV: SAGA) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H)** **("SAGA" or the "Company")**, a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to report additional assay results from drill holes R-0061, -0062, and -0063 completed in 2026 as part of its ongoing maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") diamond drill program at the Trapper Zone within the 100%-owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project near Cartwright, Labrador, Canada. The Trapper Zone forms part of an oxide corridor that includes the Falcon and Hawkeye Zones **collectively covering 29 square kilometres** (Figure 1). ***Figure 1:** The Radar Property with the Dias QMAGT vertical gradient (Bzz) anomaly footprint shown in red (high-amplitude pixels only). The QMAGT-imaged central oxide-layering corridor validated over 29 km**2**, encompassing the Trapper Zone, Hawkeye Zone, and the new Falcon Zone.* To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12336/309868\_saga08172026fig1.jpg Analytical results received for three (3) additional **diamond drill holes** (R-0061 to R-0063) from the MRE drill program initiated in Q4 2025, delivering consistent broad intercepts of oxide mineralization. **Key intercepts include:** - Hole R-0061: 163.0 m @ **43.07% Fe2O3, 6.19% TiO2, 0.293% V2O5** - Including 92.3 m @ **47.36% Fe2O3, 6.73% TiO2, 0.353% V2O5** - Hole R-0062: 33.0 m @ **34.37% Fe2O3, 5.24% TiO2, 0.173% V2O5** - Including 14.8 m **@ 40.52% Fe2O3, 6.38% TiO2, 0.217% V2O5** - Hole R-0063: 98.9 m @ **28.51% Fe2O3, 4.01% TiO2, 0.157% V2O5** **Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of SAGA Metals, commented:** "These latest results, highlighted by the significant 163-metre intercept in hole R-0061 averaging 43.07% Fe₂O₃, 6.19% TiO₂ and 0.293% V₂O₅, continue to demonstrate the impressive continuity and consistency of oxide mineralization across the Trapper Zone. We are now just one drill hole away from completing the planned MRE drill program. Given the massive intercepts of semi-massive oxide encountered in Trapper North, management decided to add two additional holes (R-0091 & R-0092) to the program to collect critical structural data that will further strengthen the resource model. We remain highly encouraged by the scale and quality of the mineralization as we advance toward our maiden Mineral Resource Estimate." The results from these three drill holes, R-0061, R-0062, and R-0063, like previously reported drill hole results, demonstrate the consistency in grade and widths across the oxide mineralization, underscoring the growing potential for a sizable mineral resource that could create meaningful long-term value for SAGA shareholders. **Detailed Logging Highlights from Drill Hole R-0061 to R-0063** - **Hole R-0061 (Cross-Section S11, Figure 2):** Drill hole R-0061 is drilled on cross-section S11 with an azimuth of 218 and a dip of dipping -45°, with a total depth of 359 m. The oxide zone intersected at 51.9 m is 244.4 m (true thickness 221.2 m) consisting of 93.5 m of semi-massive and 150.8 m of rhythmic layering oxide. - **Hole R-0062 (Cross-Section S12, Figure 3):** Drill hole R-0062 is drilled on cross-section S12 delete with an azimuth of 38 and a dip of dipping -60°, with a total depth of 251 m. The oxide zone intersected at surface (0.0 m) is 111.4 m (true thickness 101.8 m) consisting of 36.2 m of semi-massive and 75.2 m of rhythmic layering oxide. - **Hole R-0063 (Cross-Section G10 - Trapper Grace, Figure 4):** Drill hole R-0063 is drilled on cross-section G10, with an azimuth of 180 and a dip of -45°, with a total depth of 542 m. The oxide zone was intersected at 61.7 m is 137.8 m (true thickness 79.0 m) consisting of 6.5 m of semi-massive and 131.3 m of rhythmic layering. The Trapper Grace zone cross-section G10 (see Figure 4 & 5 below) first-pass exploratory drill hole R-0063 has proven highly successful, intersecting nearly 100 metres of correlated titanium, vanadium and iron grades. This result highlights its potential as a future extension to the main Trapper Zone and will be included in the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) discussion. ***Figure 2:** Cross section of S11 looking NW showing R-0012, R-0013, R-0014, R-0015, R-0051 and R-0061 highlighting an intercept of layering sequence with the 3D Magnetic Inversion of the 2025 Trapper Zone ground magnetic survey.

The Property entirely encloses the Dykes River Intrusive Complex (~160 km² at the surface) and is accessible year-round via paved Route 510, a Cartwright logging road, and a SAGA-constructed access trail. Infrastructure advantages include the deep-water port at Cartwright, the Cartwright Airport (YRF), and proximity to regional hydroelectric power from Muskrat Falls and Churchill Falls. Diamond drilling, geophysics, trenching and geological mapping have confirmed a 29 km2 oxide corridor encompassing the Trapper, Falcon and Hawkeye Zones. VTM mineralization at Radar is comparable to that of global Fe-Ti-V systems such as Panzhihua (China) and Bushveld (South Africa). Subject to further exploration, resource definition, and metallurgical testing, the Project may represent a strategic source of titanium, vanadium, and iron for North American markets.

The QMAGT-imaged central oxide-layering corridor validated over a 29 km**2* *area, encompassing the Trapper Zone, Hawkeye Zone, and the new Falcon Zone, with additional targets highlighted to the west and north. The Property is well serviced by road access and is conveniently located near the town of Cartwright, Labrador.* **Qualified Person** Dr. A. Miller, P. Geo., PEGNL, is an Independent Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information disclosed in this news release. **Technical Information** Diamond drill core was logged and sampled by Company personnel at SAGA's core facility in Cartwright, Labrador. The drill core diameter was NQ. The core was cut lengthwise using a diamond saw, and one half was retained in the core box, while the other half was sampled at designated intervals for analysis. Core samples were prepared and analyzed at the Impact Global Solutions (IGS) laboratory facility in Montréal, Québec. As part of the analytical quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program, certified reference standards, blanks, and duplicate samples were inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals to monitor analytical accuracy and precision. Crush rejects and pulp samples are retained and stored in a secure facility for potential future verification and re-analysis. The Company maintains a rigorous QA/QC protocol consistent with industry standard practices. **About SAGA Metals Corp.** SAGA Metals Corp. is a North American mining company focused on the exploration and discovery of a diversified suite of critical minerals that support the North American transition to supply security. The 100% owned Radar Ti-V-Fe Project comprises 24,175 hectares and entirely encloses the Dykes River intrusive complex, mapped at 160 km² on the surface near Cartwright, Labrador. Exploration to date, including 23,725 m of drilling in the Hawkeye and Trapper zones, has confirmed a large, mineralized layered mafic intrusion hosting vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) and ilmenite mineralization with consistently uniform grades of titanium, vanadium and iron. The 100% owned Wolverine Heavy Rare Earth Element Project in Labrador, is a near-surface REE system hosted within a peralkaline caldera complex that shares strong geological similarities with the Tanbreez and Strange Lake deposits. The project features consistent mineralization, with zones spanning 26 km2, including drill assays up to 2.03% TREO with approximately 28% HREO content, and sample assays up to 21.6% TREO. The 100% owned Double Mer Uranium Project covers 25,600 hectares and features uranium radiometrics that highlight an 18 km east-west trend, with a confirmed 14 km section producing samples as high as 0.428% U3O8. (2024 Double Mer Technical Report). Additionally, SAGA owns the Legacy Lithium Project in Quebec's Eeyou Istchee James Bay region. This project spans 72,701 hectares and has geological attributes similar to nearby terrains currently being explored by Rio Tinto, Li-FT Power, SOQUEM, and Loyal Metals. With a portfolio spanning key commodities critical to the clean energy future, SAGA is strategically positioned to play an essential role in securing critical minerals. **On Behalf of the Board of Directors** **Mike Stier, Chief Executive Officer** **For more information, contact:** **Rob Guzman, Investor Relations** SAGA Metals Corp.
