Saga Metals Corp. (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H) a North American exploration company advancing critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to announce the completion of its first 3 holes (R-0008 to R-0010) of the 2025-2026 mineral resource estimate drill program focusing on the high-priority Trapper Zone at its 100%-owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron (‘Ti-V-Fe’) Project located near Cartwright, Labrador.

Highlights (see Cross-section N-11 in Figure 1 below)

• R-0008 delivered an impressive 156 m of continuous gabbronorite with semi-massive to massive oxide,
• R-0009 confirmed the same unit as well as extended it by another 165 m with increasing oxide content.
• Additionally, substantially all the remaining intersections were within layered gabbronorite with intercumulus oxide mineralization. Intercumulus oxides crystallize from late, residual melt that becomes trapped in the pore spaces between the cumulus silicate minerals during formation of the gabbronorite layers.

A Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) anomaly from the 2025 ground survey delineated an apparent fold structure in the Trapper North Zone. Two diamond drill holes along drill section N-11 were placed to test the crest of the fold trace. Substantially all of the diamond drill holes R-0008 (272 m length) and R-0009 (299 m length) are in heavy oxide mineralization, with about half the length in semi-massive to massive oxides.

The 2025 Trapper Zone drilling employs down-hole tools to provide oriented diamond drill core, enabling the reconstruction of the true 3D orientation of geological structures. It is essential for structural geology, geotechnical assessment, and accurate geological modelling — especially in complex magmatic systems like layered mafic intrusions. Preliminary structural logging of R-0008 and R-0009 indicates an open, north-plunging antiform with limbs of moderate to steep-dipping gabbronorite layers.

Drill Program Details

The complete cross section through the nose of the fold in Trapper North has shown impressive continuity as R-0008 (156 m of semi-massive to massive oxide) was extended by an additional 165 m following the same unit with drill hole R-0009.

• R-0008 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°): The first drill hole (R-0008) concentrated on drilling through what is believed to be a large fold of the oxide layering in Trapper North. Drill holes are collard (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°) to intercept the Northwest trending 77-to-85-degree dipping oxide layering at the best perpendicular angle. Placed along section to capture true width of oxide layering of the south limb, the hole will additionally yield data on the fold and structures associated with the northern Limb.
• R-0009 (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°) : The second drill hole (R-0009) concentrated on drilling through the remainder of the believed fold as started by R-0008. The drill hole was collard (Azimuth 38°, Dip -45°) to intercept the northern limb of the fold and to complete the cross-section started with R-0008.
• R-0010 (Azimuth 0°, Dip -45°) : The third drill hole (R-0010) was drilled off the same drill pad as R-0009 to verify the best and most appropriate angle for drilling the northern limb of the fold. Additionally, this hole acted as a control for understanding the axial planar fault which runs W-E through the fold, as well as understanding the true width of northern limb and the contact of the layering.

Next Steps

Drill has continued with R-0011 already sitting at a depth of 200 m down hole. Drill hole R-0011 lies 100 m east along section of R-0009 & R-0010 and is already adding extensive strike to the semi-massive to massive oxide layering observed in the area.

Following the completion of R-0011, the drill will move to Trapper South where a full cross section is planned to follow the same 38-degree section alignment as R-0008 & R-0009. With the same concept of the first 4 holes in the North, drilling in the south will concentrate on a section across the magnetic anomalies comprising of ~4 drill holes to allow Saga’s geological team to best understand and plan for the remainder of the mineral resource estimate drill program that will continue in Q1 of 2026.

‘We couldn’t have scripted a better start to our maiden drill program at the Trapper Zone,’ commented Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals. ‘ Hole R-0008 delivered an impressive 156 m of continuous semi-massive to massive oxide, and when we stepped out to R-0009 we not only confirmed the same unit but extended it another 165 m with ever-increasing magnetite content. To now have three completed holes highlighting an exceptional continuity of the oxide layering is an outstanding validation of our geological model. The team is genuinely thrilled with these early results and eager to keep the drill turning as we step east along strike in R-0011 and then move south to replicate this success across the full 3+ km Trapper oxide trend.’

Drill Program Objectives:

The Phase 1 Trapper Zone drill campaign will target:

• Grade continuity across a 3 km strike length.
• Oxide layering widths and continuity to true depths of about 200 meters below surface.
• Integration of structural insights from trenching and drilling into collar orientation and drill design.
• Initial drilling of 1,500-2,500 m in 6-10 holes, each about 250 m in depth will be completed before the December break.
• Test both the North and South sections of the Trapper zone prior to the seasonal break in order to fully define grades, widths and structures prior to initiating the detailed grid and drill sections in 2026, leading to a mineral resource estimate.
• Drilling will be complemented by metallurgical sampling through the winter, with core from both the Hawkeye and Trapper zones undergoing detailed metallurgical testing.

The Trapper Trail (in black) will be the target of the planned 15,000 m diamond drilling program aimed at establishing Saga’s maiden mineral resource estimation.

The Radar Property spans 24,175 hectares and hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex (about 160 km²), which is a unique position among Western explorers. Geological mapping, geophysics, and trenching have already confirmed oxide layering across more than 20 km of strike length, with mineralization open for expansion.

Vanadiferous titanomagnetite (‘VTM’) mineralization at Radar is comparable to global Fe–Ti–V systems such as Panzhihua (China), Bushveld (South Africa), and Tellnes (Norway), positioning the Project as a potential strategic future supplier of titanium, vanadium, and iron to North American markets.

Figure 4: 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 .

Toronto, Ontario November 25, 2025 TheNewswire – Noble Mineral Exploration Inc. ( ‘Noble’ or the ‘Company’ ) (TSX-V:NOB, FRANKFURT: NB7, OTCQB:NLPXF) is pleased to announce the acquisition through map staking of a rare earth element (‘REE’) enriched system on its Chapiteau Property located 100 kilometers south of the Strange Lake and B-Zone deposits and 38 kilometers northeast of the Crater Lake Scandium-Rare Earth resource.  The Labrador property consists of 25 map staked units for a total of approximately 647 hectares (Figure 1 and 2).

The property covers ground explored by Midland Exploration Inc (Midland) in 2010/2011.  During this time, Midland, completed a 3,143-line-kilometer airborne magnetic and radiometric survey that identified several new exploration targets for REEs.  With the results of the airborne survey, the Midland team prospected and sampled the exposed portions of these magnetic and radiometric anomalies. Regionally, the results from selected samples from 81 rock outcrops and locally derived and mineralized boulders returned very high values of up to 8.34% rare earth element oxides (TREOs), including yttrium. The proportion of heavy rare earth element oxides (HREOs) ranged from 2.29% to 12.85% HREO for samples containing more than 0.5% TREO. Analysis of individual REEs yielded significant results up to 8.22% cerium oxide (Ce2O3), 3.38% lanthanum oxide (La2O3), 3.39% neodymium oxide (Nd2O3), 0.66% yttrium oxide (Y2O3), 0.96% praseodymium oxide (Pr2O3), 0.19% dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3), and 0.35% gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3).

Regionally, the best concentrations of mineralization are associated with iron oxides nested in pegmatite-aplite dikes and plurimetric iron oxide clusters disseminated in an intrusion interpreted as an alkaline granite. Grab samples from twenty-six new mineralized areas returned values ranging from 1.02% to 8.34% TREO. The alkaline granite hosting this mineralization manifests itself as an airborne magnetic anomaly 9 kilometers in diameter.

On the property recently staked by Noble, six grab samples greater than 0.5% TREO were located by Midland.  They ranged from 1.40 to 3.02% TREO with:

• 0.29 to 0.79% lanthanum oxide (La2O3),

• 0.60 to 1.48% cerium oxide (Ce2O3

• 0.06 to 0.14% praseodymium oxide (Pr2O3)

• 0.23 to 0.45% neodymium oxide (Nd2O3),

• 0.02 to 0.10% yttrium oxide (Y2O3)

• 0.006 to 0.02% dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3)

• 0.02 to 0.03% gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3)

A series of channel samples and one diamond drill hole (Y3-11-04) were completed on the Chapiteau property in 2011. (see Fig 3, 4 and 5).

Drill hole Y3-11-04 was aimed at the CP North Showing. The hole intersected a grey-pink coarse grained alkaline granite with 2-3% disseminated iron oxides and amphiboles. A total of 29 samples varying in length from 1 to 1.5 meter were collected. All collected samples returned anomalous TREO + Y2O352 values averaging 0.14% TREO + Y2O3 ranging from 0.11 to 0.19% TREO + Y2O3. The best assay results returned 0.13% TREO + Y2O3 over 7.5m from 25.0 to 32.5 meters, 0.14% TREO + Y2O3 over 12.0 m from 38.0 to 50.0 meters and 0.16% TREO + Y2O3 over 7.5 m from 64.0 to 71.5m.

Regionally, the best concentrations of mineralization are associated with iron oxides nested in pegmatite-aplite dikes and plurimetric iron oxide clusters disseminated in an intrusion interpreted as an alkaline granite. Grab samples from twenty-six new mineralized areas returned values ranging from 1.02% to 8.34% TREO. The alkaline granite hosting this mineralization manifests itself as an airborne magnetic anomaly 9 kilometers in diameter.

On the property recently staked by Noble, six grab samples greater than 0.5% TREO were located by Midland.  They ranged from 1.40 to 3.02% TREO with:

• 0.29 to 0.79% lanthanum oxide (La2O3),

• 0.60 to 1.48% cerium oxide (Ce2O3

• 0.06 to 0.14% praseodymium oxide (Pr2O3)

• 0.23 to 0.45% neodymium oxide (Nd2O3),

• 0.02 to 0.10% yttrium oxide (Y2O3)

• 0.006 to 0.02% dysprosium oxide (Dy2O3)

• 0.02 to 0.03% gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3)

A series of channel samples and one diamond drill hole (Y3-11-04) were completed on the Chapiteau property in 2011. (see Fig 3, 4 and 5).

Drill hole Y3-11-04 was aimed at the CP North Showing. The hole intersected a grey-pink coarse grained alkaline granite with 2-3% disseminated iron oxides and amphiboles. A total of 29 samples varying in length from 1 to 1.5 meter were collected. All collected samples returned anomalous TREO + Y2O352 values averaging 0.14% TREO + Y2O3 ranging from 0.11 to 0.19% TREO + Y2O3. The best assay results returned 0.13% TREO + Y2O3 over 7.5m from 25.0 to 32.5 meters, 0.14% TREO + Y2O3 over 12.0 m from 38.0 to 50.0 meters and 0.16% TREO + Y2O3 over 7.5 m from 64.0 to 71.5m.

Toronto, Ontario November 25, 2025 TheNewswire – Laurion Mineral Exploration Inc. (TSX.V: LME | OTC: LMEFF) (‘LAURION’ or the ‘Corporation’) is pleased to announce encouraging results from its 7,700-metre Summer 2025 drill exploration program at the 100%-owned Ishkõday Project, located 220 km northeast of Thunder Bay in Greenstone, Ontario. The first five drill results were announced in the Corporation’s press releases dated August 19, 2025 and September 23, 2025, respectively, which targeted the high-grade gold-bearing vein systems of the Sturgeon River Mine area. Reference is also made to the Corporation’s press releases dated September 5, 2025, May 27, 2025 and May 8, 2025.

The reported drill holes below, LME25-063, LME25-064, LME25-065 and LME25-066, total 1,806 m. The holes were designed to evaluate the northeast extension of the mineralized system at the historic Brenbar Mine, with hole LME25-063, and then stepping out to the northeast of the Brenbar historic mine shaft targeting the untested M50 Quartz vein series with further drill holes.

Highlights of Drill Holes LME25-063, LME25-065 and LME25-066

• LME25-063        0.7 m @ 2.67 g/t Au from 139.50 m to 140.20 m;

• LME25-063        0.5 m @ 1.26 g/t Au from 393.40 m to 393.90 m;

• LME25-065        0.50 m @ 1.78 g/t Au from 91.10 m to 91.60 m;

• LME25-065        1.80 m @ 0.95 g/t Au from 149.60 m to 151.40 m, including: 0.80 m @ 1.90 g/t Au from 150.60 m to 151.40 m;

• LME25-065        0.50 m @ 1.32 g/t Au from 292,30 m to 292.80 m;

• LME25-066        1.50 m @ 1.02 g/t Au from 272,50 m to 274.00 m; and

• LME25-066        0.70 m @ 2.42 g/t Au and 1.90 Au/t from 389.0 m to 389.70 m.

‘ While these results represent the early stages of testing in a geologically complex corridor, their significance lies in extending our knowledge of mineralization continuity between the historic Brenbar and Sturgeon River Mine areas, ‘ stated Cynthia Le Sueur-Aquin, President and CEO of LAURION. ‘This is the first time drilling has been completed across this untested structural corridor, and it is yielding valuable geological insight with oriented core, that will guide the next phase of our exploration program. Our focus remains on defining the broader mineralized system that links multiple historic mine zones, ultimately positioning Ishkōday as a district-scale gold and base metal opportunity.’

Table of Assays for Drill Holes for LME25-063 to LME25-066

Note: (Intervals represent core length. The interval widths reported are down-hole widths. The true widths of the mineralized zones are not known at this time as there is insufficient information to determine the orientation of the mineralization. True widths are estimated at ~70–90% of reported intervals.)

Sampling and QA/QC Protocols

All drill core is transported and stored inside the core facility located at the Ishkõday Project in Greenstone, Ontario. LAURION employs an industry standard system of external standards, blanks and duplicates for all of its sampling, in addition to the QA/QC protocol employed by the laboratory. After logging, core samples were identified and then cut in half along core axis in the same building and then zip tied individually in plastic sample bags with a bar code. Approximately five or six of these individual bags were then stacked into a ‘rice’ white material bag and stored on a skid for final shipment to the laboratory.

All core samples were shipped to the ALS facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which were then prepared by ALS Global Geochemistry in Thunder Bay and analyzed by ALS Global Analytical Lab in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples are processed by 4-acid digestion and analyzed by fire assay on 50 g pulps and ICP-AES (InductivelyCoupledPlasma – AtomicElement-Spectroscopy). Over limit analyses are reprocessed with gravimetric finish.

A total of 5% blanks and 5% standard are inserted randomly within all samples. 5% of the best assay result pulps were sent for re-assays. All QAQC were verified, and no contamination or bias have been observed. The remaining half of the core, as well as the unsampled core, is stored in temporary core racks at the core logging facility in Beardmore and moved to the core storage facility at the Ishkõday Project.
