Saga Metals Corp. (“SAGA” or the “Firm”) (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), a North American exploration firm advancing important mineral discoveries, is happy to announce the total logging of all eight drill holes accomplished within the Trapper zone and confirms delivery three extra holes to IGS’s lab for evaluation.
Moreover, essential new structural knowledge in Trapper South’s R-0014 have been recognized, offering invaluable insights into the 2 main magnetic anomalies. This preliminary section of drilling for a mineral useful resource estimate centered on the Trapper North and Trapper South zones, which yielded intensive oxide mineralization and important structural insights.
Drilling and Sampling Highlights
Complete Trapper Zone drilling: 2,050 meters throughout the Trapper North and South zones.Phases 1 & 2 have confirmed intensive oxide mineralization in all drill areas, validating the three km floor magnetic anomaly throughout the Trapper zone.Completion of those preliminary phases of the 2025-2026 mineral useful resource estimate drill program has additional validated about 16 km of the regional aeromagnetic excessive pattern that extends from the Hawkeye zone to the Trapper North zone.5 of 8 drill holes have been despatched for assaying: Samples from drill holes R-0010 (174 samples), R-0011 (158 samples), and R-0013 (141 samples) – totalling 473 samples – have been shipped to IGS in Montreal for evaluation.Ongoing Sampling: The workforce is working on night time and day shifts to finish sampling of the remaining holes (R-0012, R-0014, and R-0015) earlier than the December break.Projected Complete Samples: Upon completion of the ultimate cargo of the remaining three drill holes, a complete of 1,313 samples could have been securely shipped for assaying.Assay Turnaround: IGS has estimated a 3- to 4-week processing time as soon as samples arrive on the lab. SAGA confirms the primary two holes of the maiden useful resource estimate drill program arrived on December 10, 2025.

Geological Findings in Trapper South: Understanding Key Structural Knowledge
The logging and sampling of holes R-0014 and R-0015 have concluded the interception of spectacular rhythmic magnetite layering throughout the second of the 2 main magnetic anomalies in Trapper South, herein described because the Western Anomaly intersections:
R-0014: cumulated intersections of 69.54 meters of oxide layering.R-0015: cumulated intersections of 146 meters of tightly banded rhythmic oxide layering sequences.
The cross-section of Trapper South has supplied important structural info for the southern half of the property and insights into the regional structural geometry. Evaluation means that the 2 anomalies (East and West) have been initially related however have since been separated by a mixture of folding and faulting, particularly a left-lateral strike-slip reverse fault.
Determine 2: Outlines a left-lateral, strike-slip reverse fault. The hanging wall (East anomaly) is offset primarily relative to the (West) Footwall. The map exhibits analogs of the geometric sample noticed within the core in each R-0015 and R-0014. Related offsets have been additionally seen in each R-0013 and R-0012.
Drilling on Part S11 has outlined structural geometry, enabling extra environment friendly future drilling. Gap R-0014 proved notably informative, confirming the presence of reverse faults. This has enhanced the workforce’s understanding of the structural geometry of the Trapper South anomaly, the genesis of the Dykes River intrusion, and the historic connectivity between the 2 limbs.
On the floor in Trapper South, the first-pass cross-section (Part S11) throughout the width of the anomalies has outlined two linear tendencies and discrete units of oxide layering sequences:
Western anomaly: Placing 1.4 km with a width of roughly 150 m.Japanese anomaly: Placing 700 m with a width of roughly 150 m.

Saga Metals Completes Section 2 of Main Drill Program on the Radar – Standing:
Testing of each the North and South sections of the Trapper zone, with preliminary drilling of two,050 meters in 8 holes, has been accomplished as deliberate earlier than the December break.Affirmation of intensive oxide mineralization in any respect drill areas validates your entire 3+ km strike size throughout the Trapper zone.
Pending Technical Work
The workforce will await assay outcomes to finish a complete interpretation, which is able to inform preliminary drilling plans for early Q1 2026. These findings underscore the potential of the Radar Challenge and place Saga Metals for continued development in important minerals exploration.
Drilling has been complemented by metallurgical sampling by way of the winter, with core from the Hawkeye zone (outcomes anticipated within the coming weeks), and additional metallurgical sampling and testing will proceed with core from the Trapper zone beginning in Q1 2026.
“We’re thrilled with the success of our main drill program so far on the Radar Challenge. This primary section has exceeded expectations, confirming intensive oxide mineralization throughout important intercepts. The structural interpretations from Trapper South are notably thrilling, as they reveal that the southern anomalies have been as soon as totally related, providing profound insights into the geological evolution of the world and enhancing our technique for drilling within the New 12 months.” – Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals.

Drill Program Aims:
Section 1 and a couple of in This autumn 2025 collected essential structural, geometric, and mineralogical knowledge in each the North and South Trapper zones and can inform the design of SAGA’s sturdy 2026 maiden useful resource estimate.
The subsequent Trapper Zone drill marketing campaign will goal:
Grade continuity throughout a 3 km strike size.Oxide layering widths and continuity to about 200 meters under the floor.Integration of structural interpretations from trenching and drilling with the design of diamond drilling packages.Enough geological correlations and drilling density to help a mineral useful resource estimate on the Indicated degree of confidence.
