Key Highlights:

• Crew mobilization is underway to support a 15,000-metre drill program at the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project in Labrador, Canada.
• Drilling is focused on advancing the Trapper Zone’s 3+ km strike toward a maiden MRE highlighting titanium, vanadium, and iron ore—critical minerals for the global energy transition.
• Ongoing site work includes trench mapping, surveying, and full camp establishment to optimize drill execution.
• Infrastructure is in place with new access trails along the oxide layering strike through the Trapper Zone.

Saga Metals Corp. (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), a North American exploration company focused on critical minerals, is pleased to announce the mobilization of crews to its 100% owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron (Ti-V-Fe) Project in southern Labrador, Canada. This mobilization marks a significant step in preparing for a major drill program aimed at expanding known mineralization and advancing toward the completion of a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE) on the project.

Preparation begins for a 15,000m Drill Program at the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project:

Field preparations are underway across the Radar Project’s Trapper Zone, which spans over a 3+ km strike of oxide mineralization. Current work is designed to strengthen drill targeting, maximize efficiency, and ensure high-quality geological data accuracy for the MRE, including:

1. Enhanced Trench Analysis

Building on approximately 504 square metres (5,425 ft²) of trenching completed to date, SAGA is conducting additional high-pressure power washing and detailed geological mapping in three trenches within the Trapper Zone. This work exposes clean bedrock surfaces by removing overburden and vegetation, allowing geologists to document rock types, mineral textures, and oxide layering trends with precision. The process will help refine 3D geological models, confirm continuity of vanadiferous titanomagnetite (VTM) mineralization, and identify the most prospective high-grade drill targets.

2. Surveying and Geophysical Preparation

Crews are also executing a comprehensive surveying program to support drill collar placement and spatial accuracy across the Trapper Zone. Using high-precision GPS, total stations, and laser scanning technology, the team is mapping the newly built 4 km Trapper Trail access route, establishing a geophysics baseline, and cutting grid lines (cutlines) through vegetation to enable further geophysical traverses. The geophysics baseline will serve as a calibration reference for magnetometer instruments, ensuring consistent and reliable detection of anomalies that may indicate subsurface mineralization. Collectively, these surveys are designed to eliminate spatial errors in modelling and optimize drill hole targeting

3. Establishing Full Camp Infrastructure

To support the scale of the upcoming 15,000 metre drill program, SAGA has secured land near Cartwright, Labrador, for the establishment of a fully serviced exploration camp. The camp will include accommodations, a kitchen trailer, a core shack for drill core logging and storage, an office for data management, and a cut shack for sample preparation. Utility infrastructure—including power generation, water storage and filtration, and septic systems—is being installed to ensure long-term operational stability. With this infrastructure in place, SAGA is positioned to support long-term stability and efficiency for the crews managing this milestone drill program.

‘This mobilization is a pivotal moment for the Radar Project as we move from early exploration success toward defining a mineral resource,’ said Mike Stier, CEO and Director of Saga Metals Corp. ‘By investing in thorough trench mapping, advanced surveying, and robust camp infrastructure, we are positioning the Radar Project for a highly efficient 15,000 metre drill program. We believe this campaign has the potential to unlock significant value in titanium, vanadium, and iron—critical minerals essential to the global energy transition. Our priority is to advance Radar toward a mineral resource estimate and deliver value to our shareholders.’

The preparation phase is expected to conclude in the coming weeks, with the 15,000m drilling program scheduled to commence in early November 2025.

Summary of the Radar Ti-V-Fe Project in Labrador, Canada:

The Radar Property benefits from exceptional infrastructure, including all-season road access, a nearby deep-water port, hydroelectric power, and an airstrip with claims just 10 km from Cartwright, Labrador. Spanning 24,175 hectares, the Property covers all the Dykes River intrusive complex—an extensive (~160 km²) Mesoproterozoic layered mafic intrusion. Unique amongst Western exploration companies, SAGA controls its entire intrusive complex.

Grenville-age mafic layered intrusions of Québec and Labrador represent a significant but underdeveloped titanium–vanadium–iron resource province. These layered intrusions, emplaced during the Grenvillian orogeny, locally host thick oxide-rich cumulate zones dominated by titanomagnetite and hemo-ilmenite with accessory vanadium and phosphorus. Their scale and metallogenic affinity are directly comparable to major Fe–Ti–V deposits such as Lac Tio (Quebec), Panzhihua (China), Tellnes (Norway) and Bushveld (South Africa), which supply a major share of global TiO₂ feedstock and vanadium for steel alloys and emerging energy storage markets. The combination of large tonnage potential, favourable logistics, and critical mineral content positions the Grenville intrusions, such as Radar’s Dykes River complex, as strategic candidates for development in the context of growing North American demand for titanium, vanadium and high-quality iron.

Early geological mapping, government magnetic surveys and ground-based geophysics of the Radar property have identified oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, with mineralized zones remaining open for expansion. Vanadiferous titanomagnetite (‘VTM’) is the principal oxide and occurs as cumulate and intercumulus mineralization over large thicknesses of the Dykes River layered intrusion.

The Property is well serviced by road access and is conveniently located near the town of Cartwright, Labrador. A compilation of historical aeromagnetic anomalies is overlaid by ground-based geophysics as shown. SAGA has demonstrated the reliability of the regional airborne magnetic surveys after ground-truthing and drilling in the 2024 and 2025 field programs.

SAGA’s 2025 Winter Drill Program at Radar:

Saga completed its maiden drill program in early 2025, featuring a 2,209-metre, seven-hole diamond drill campaign across the Hawkeye Zone—a combination of 3D magnetic inversion modeling and surface VLF-EM results guided drill targeting. The program intersected broad zones of titanomagnetite-rich oxide layering, with cumulative intersections displaying consistent grades of titanium dioxide (TiO ₂ ), vanadium pentoxide (V ₂ O ₅ ) and iron (Fe).

Similarities in the ratios of TiO ₂ and V2O ₅ to Fe ₃ O ₄ across multiple drill holes serve to identify discrete igneous layers. Within the 600 m tested thickness of the layered gabbronorite, the chemistry delineates a very promising 300-400 m thickness, referred to as the Lower Cumulate Layer. The highest V ₂ O ₅ assays are in the lower 100-200 m, coinciding with the highest-grade intervals of VTMs. The layer is comprised of interlayered gabbronorite and bands of semi-massive to massive VTM.

Drill holes R25-HEZ-01, -07, -04, and -05 intersect this Lower Cumulate Layer. The chemistry indicates that the layer was deposited from a large-volume pulse of Ti-V-Fe-enriched magma. Saga will be targeting this same discrete intrusive horizon along the Trapper Zone’s 3+ km strike length.

Magnetic and VLF-EM Survey to Extend the ‘Trapper Zone’

As crews prepare for the 15,000 m drill program, a small geophysics team will continue a ground-based magnetic survey over the northern and southern extensions of the Trapper Zone. The survey utilizes a GSM-19 magnetometer to collect magnetic-field and VLF-EM data (using VLF Transmitter Cutler).

The survey is conducted using a grid of N-S lines, spaced 50 m apart, with observations made at stations spaced 20 m apart along the lines. The tightly gridded stations will be used to map the extent to which the oxide layering strike continues to the NE-E at the top of the zone and SE-E at the bottom of the zone, both trending back towards the Hawkeye Zone.

Figure 3: Radar Project’s prospective oxide layering zone extends for an inferred 20 km strike length, as shown on a compilation of historical airborne geophysics as well as ground-based geophysics in the Hawkeye and Trapper zones completed by SAGA in the 2024/2025 field programs. SAGA has demonstrated the reliability of the regional airborne magnetic surveys after ground-truthing and drilling in the 2024 and 2025 field programs .

Aventis Energy (‘ Aventis ‘ or the ‘ Company ‘) (CSE:AVE | FRA:C0O0 | OTC: VBAMF) is pleased to announce an update from its 2025 exploration program at the Corvo Uranium Project (‘ Corvo ‘, or the ‘ Project ‘), currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement with Standard Uranium Ltd. (‘ Standard ‘) (CSE: STND). From July 4 to July 16, 2025, the Company completed a detailed mapping and sampling program across historical uranium showings and zones of interest on the Project.

Highlights:

• Off-Scale** Radioactivity at Surface : Verification of strong radioactivity at the historical Manhattan showing with handheld scintillometer measurements >65,535 counts per second (‘ cps ‘) at surface, in addition to 112 further occurrences of highly anomalous*** radioactivity up to 13,500 cps across the Project.
• Discovery of New Radioactive Showings : Scintillometer prospecting uncovered previously undocumented radioactive occurrences across the Project in favorable rock types for uranium and Rare Earth Element (‘ REE ‘) mineralization.
• Favorable Uranium Host Rocks : Geological mapping along structural and electromagnetic (‘ EM ‘) trends across the Project confirmed the presence of deformed and hydrothermally altered basement lithologies including metasedimentary, calc-silicate, and granitic rocks.
• Ongoing Exploration : An extensive ground gravity survey is being planned for Q4 2025, designed to identify density anomalies potentially representing hydrothermal alteration systems coincident with newly refined EM conductor trends across the Project. A diamond drill program is being planned for Q1 2026 to begin testing targets developed and ranked through the detailed programs executed in 2025.

Michael Mulberry, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, ‘We are proud to announce preliminary results from our 2025 Exploration Program at the Corvo Project. With the identification of strong radioactivity at the Manhattan showing, and favourable results from geological mapping along key trends at the Project, we are well positioned to complete a near term ground gravity survey.’

2025 Prospecting Program – Preliminary Results

Beginning July 4 and concluding July 16, 2025, the technical team completed a detailed mapping, prospecting, and sampling program to ground-truth historical uranium showings at surface on the Project (the ‘ Program ‘):

• A total of 30 outcrop and boulder grab samples have been submitted to Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, SK for whole-rock, uranium, and REE geochemical analysis. Results will be released and incorporated into the first NI 43-101 technical report on the Project.
• More than 160 detailed geological observations, structural measurements, and scintillometer readings were taken from several outcrops across the Project within the T-Lake, Dorward, Unnamed, Finger, Snout, Hook, and Sheppard Lake areas.
• Prospecting confirmed several uraniferous outcrops and boulders across the Project, including the Manhattan showing (1.19 to 5.98% U3O8) and SMDI showing 2052 (0.137% U3O8 and 2,300 ppm Th). ¹ Off-scale radioactivity >65,535 cps was measured at the Manhattan showing (Please see Figures 2 and 3).
• A total of 112 handheld scintillometer readings of anomalous radioactivity >300 cps were recorded, including six measurements >10,000 cps at surface (Please see Figure 4). Prospecting for radioactive boulders and outcrop was completed using handheld RS-120 Super-Scintillometers and RS-125 Super-Spectrometers manufactured by Radiation Solutions Inc.

Figure 2. Close-up photos of fault-controlled mineralization (black vitreous minerals) and secondary iron oxide alteration at surface at the Manhattan showing (Dorward Lake area), reaching >65,535 cps on the RS-125 Super-Spectrometer.

At the Corvo Uranium Project, uranium mineralization is present along a strike length of 800 metres in historical drill holes TL-79-3 (0.057% U3O8 over 3.5 m) to TL-79-5 (0.065% U3O8 over 0.1 m). Recent expansion of the Project adds multiple new data points of uranium anomalism in the south, including surface sample JBWLR011, returning 1,420 ppm U.

Figure 4. Newly discovered hematized magnetite-rich pegmatitic orthogneiss reaching upwards of 13,500 cps, in the T-Lake area.

Future Exploration Plans

Supplementary geophysical surveys across the Project are being designed to further refine drill targets for an inaugural drill program. The Company plans to complete a high-resolution ground gravity survey across the main conductive trends on the Project, aiming to identify potential hydrothermal alteration halos which could be related to basement-hosted uranium mineralization.

Earlie r this year, Standard Uranium contracte d Axiom Exploration Group Ltd. in partnership wi t h New Resolution Geophysics to carry out a helico p ter-borne Xcite time domain electr o magnetic and total field ma g netic survey over the Project ² . The survey totalled approximately 1,380 line-kms w ith a traverse line spacing of 100 m and tie-line spacing of 1,000 m. The airborne TDEM survey outlines several kilometers of conductive anomalies and magnetic features in bedrock, effectively enhancing the resolution of more than 29 kilometres of conductive trends on the Project.

The magnetic survey component of the TDEM survey contributes to definition of potential fault systems and structural trends not previously identified across the Project related to historical uranium showings at surface and in historical drill holes.

Ongoing geophysical interpretation and modeling is being completed to integrate historical surveys with newly collected datasets, which will provide high-priority drill targets and significantly derisk the Project prior to modern drilling in 2026.
