Core Insights - SAGA Metals Corp. has reported the first assay results from the Trapper Zone following the completion of the 2025 Phase of the Mineral Resource Estimate drill program, indicating significant mineralization potential [1][3]. Assay Highlights - The initial results from two drill holes (R-0008 and R-0009) show high grades of iron (Fe₂O₃), titanium (TiO₂), and vanadium (V₂O₅), with R-0008 yielding 36.21% Fe₂O₃, 6.57% TiO₂, and 0.244% V₂O₅ over 269.36 meters, while R-0009 yielded 39.75% Fe₂O₃, 7.46% TiO₂, and 0.25% V₂O₅ over 296.47 meters [6][11]. - Notably, 193 out of 418 samples graded over 7% TiO₂, with 97 samples exceeding 10% TiO₂, and 241 samples graded over 0.2% V₂O₅, with 128 samples over 0.3% V₂O₅ [6][9]. Comparative Analysis - The assay results from the Trapper Zone show a significant increase compared to the Hawkeye Zone, with Fe₂O₃ increasing by 124%, TiO₂ by 105.90%, and V₂O₅ by 36.90% [7][11]. - The best full hole metrics from Trapper Zone (R-0009) are substantially higher than those from the Hawkeye Zone, establishing a clear step-change in iron and titanium grades [7][11]. Geological Context - The drilling targeted a strong magnetic anomaly identified in the 2025 ground geophysical survey, which traces the shape of an apparent fold structure, indicating a promising geological setting for mineralization [14][19]. - The Radar Property, encompassing 24,175 hectares, hosts the Dykes River intrusive complex, with confirmed oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, suggesting potential for further mineralization expansion [19][25]. Future Plans - The company anticipates receiving additional assay results by mid-January, with plans to initiate the 2026 phase of the MRE drill program at the Trapper Zone shortly thereafter [14][15].
