Drill Results Exploration Programs

VANCOUVER, B.C. – September 10, 2026 – SAGA Metals Corp. ("SAGA" or the "Company") (TSXV: SAGA) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to report additional assay results from drill holes R-0064, -0065, - 0066, -0067, -0068, -0069, -0070 and -0071 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 lopolith 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 lopolith validated over 29 km2, encompassing the Trapper Zone, Hawkeye Zone, and the new Falcon Zone.

Analytical results received for eight (8) additional diamond drill holes (R-0064 to R-0071) from the MRE drill program initiated in Q4 2025, delivering consistent broad intercepts of oxide mineralization.

Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of SAGA Metals, commented:

“These eight drill holes continue to provide grade consistency that validates the significance of this oxide system, these critical minerals track together. The ore body has a uniform core and defined edges. In the heart of Trapper Zone we are intercepting high-grade oxide with up to 58% Fe2O3, 8% TiO2 and 0.440% V2O5 across 100 to 300 metres. The significance is that we’ve been able to define the shoulders while continuing to intersect long, continuous intervals of correlated titanium, vanadium and iron. That is exactly what is required leading into a maiden resource. You have to define both the high-grade core and the limits of the ore body, and these holes do both.”

The results from these eight drill holes, R-0064, R-0065, R-0066, R-0067, R-0068, R-0069, R-0070 and R-0071 continue to track the high-grade oxide system previously reported across the Trapper Zone, while also highlighting where the system is strongest and where it steps out. Like previously reported drill hole results, they demonstrate the consistency in grade and widths across the oxide mineralization, underscoring the growing potential for a well defined and sizable mineral resource that could create meaningful long-term value for SAGA shareholders.
