Saga Metals Corp. (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: SAGA) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H) a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discovery, is pleased to announce the official commencement of the maiden drill program at the Company’s Radar Titanium-Vanadium (Ti-V) Project.

Drilling Commenced at Radar Titanium-Vanadium (Ti-V) Project in Labrador, Canada:

The Radar drill program is advancing at a strong pace as the team is currently drilling the 5 ^th of 7 planned drill holes in the Hawkeye zone. To date, the team has drilled over 1,000 meters of rock through the magnetic anomaly as identified the geophysical survey completed in Q4 2024 (see Figure 5 below).

Gladiator Drilling has been moving efficiently and effectively, not only through the rock with several 100+m of core drilled in a single shift, but also with well executed and clean drill moves.

‘The rock has been great to drill through. The shear amount of magnetite in the rock has made for soft yet highly competent rock, with very high core recovery,’ stated Josh Blundell, Owner & Operator of Gladiator Drilling.

Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals Corp. discusses drilling strategy: ‘ The magnetic inversions have been amazingly accurate. Our first hole was plotted to start right in the center of the magnetic anomaly, and I’ve been able to predict our intercepts with 10-20m accuracy based upon the inversion and surface structural measurements. The only surprise the team has had is with just how much magnetite is present in the system, both as groundmass and layering. I was expecting more silica rich/magnetite depleted zones between each geophysical high but what we have found is that the whole thing is full of magnetite. Its pretty remarkable. Additionally, our biggest intercept of magnetite layering was 150m long, with the most impressive being a 25m section containing at least 62 individual magnetite bands varying from 3 to 10 inches in width. It’s easy to get excited when you see something like that, especially when you have both the geochemical and petrographic evidence that both the titanium and vanadium are hosted in the magnetite.’

Key Maiden Drill Program Highlights:

• Maiden Drill Program: Drilling commenced on Radar Ti-V project, with a minimum 1,500m program in the Hawkeye zone.
• Radar Ti-V Project Drilling Location: The Hawkeye zone is the most advanced zone with both surface samples and detailed geophysics creating clear drill targets .
• Radar’s Hawkeye Zone Potential: Assays have returned consistent values between 2.5 – 11.1% TiO2 and 0.2 – 0.66% V2O5 , confirming the presence of high-grade titanium and vanadium across a potential 1km wide and 4km long trend.
• Mineralized System Defined: Advanced geophysics and magnetic inversion interpretation clearly outlines the phases of a layered mafic intrusion and mineralization potential over 600m at depth , creating drill-ready targets.

Radar Ti-V Project – Labrador, Canada

The Radar Ti-V Property is located 10km south of Cartwright in Labrador, Canada. The project spans 17,250 hectares and benefits from road access, supporting efficient exploration and development. Radar’s Hawkeye zone is the most prospective target on the property with detailed geophysics and surface samples completed to date. Results include 2.5 – 11.1% TiO2 and 0.2 – 0.66% V2O5 and are suggestive of a complex and multi-phased layered mafic intrusion that may be upwards of 1km wide, 4km long and potentially over 600m deep . Recent geophysics completed on the property show very detailed correlation to the rock samples and observed phase changes in the system.

Anteros Metals Inc. (CSE: ANT) (‘Anteros’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that it has submitted a formal application under the 2025 Junior Exploration Assistance (‘JEA’) program for its 100%-owned Havens Steady Critical Mineral VMS Property (‘Havens Steady or the ‘Property’) in south-central Newfoundland (Figure 1). The Company’s application seeks participation in both the Critical Mineral Assistance (‘CMA’) and Provincial Critical Mineral Assistance (‘PCMA’) funding streams, which provide enhanced rebates for critical mineral exploration activities in the province.

By leveraging these funding streams, Anteros aims to expand the known mineralization at Havens Steady and work toward defining a new critical mineral deposit for Newfoundland and Labrador.

JEA APPLICATION HIGHLIGHTS

• Havens Steady hosts a polymetallic Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (‘VMS’) system with significant occurrences of zinc, copper, silver, lead, and gold, qualifying the project for both CMA and PCMA components of the JEA Program.

• Anteros has proposed a diamond drilling campaign comprising four (4) holes of 500 metres each for a total of 2,000 metres. Drilling is designed to step out from existing mineralized zones defined by more than 8,000 metres of historical drilling and intercepts of polymetallic, Kuroko-style VMS mineralization.

• The Company has secured all necessary drilling and exploration approvals from the Mineral Lands Division of Newfoundland and Labrador. Located close to hydroelectric power and a skilled regional workforce, the Property benefits from excellent infrastructure and year-round road access in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.

• The 1,000-metre known strike length is hosted in an altered felsic volcanic sequence, analogous to other large VMS deposits in the Buchans-Victoria Lake area. Historical work has identified multiple untested geophysical anomalies and strong precious-metal (gold-silver) and base-metal (zinc-lead-copper) intercepts. The Company intends to further evaluate these high-priority targets to bolster the province’s growing inventory of critical minerals.

EXPLORATION STRATEGY

Since acquiring the Property in January 2024, Anteros has performed comprehensive digital compilation of historic data, confirming multiple conductive anomalies derived from past airborne electromagnetic surveys and highlighting several zones of high-grade sphalerite, galena, bornite, and chalcopyrite mineralization. Building on these findings and a newly established 3D modeling effort that refines the positions of various mineralized horizons, the Company is undertaking a Phase One exploration program with a CAD $300,000 budget. This initial phase, scheduled to begin in early summer of 2025, will focus on four diamond drill holes designed to extend mineralization along the Property’s known 1,000-metre strike. Drilling targets will be selected using historical drill data, a recently digitized geophysical survey, and detailed structural interpretations of the VMS system, with the aim of delineating higher-grade shoots enriched with copper and gold. Drilling results are expected to inform a future NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate.

PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS

• Road accessible and situated in a region renowned for rich, Kuroko-type VMS deposits

• Proximal to the past-producing Duck Pond Mine and other major VMS operations within the renowned Buchans Mining District

• 1,000-metre corridor of lead-zinc-silver ± copper-gold mineralization, extending to over 800 metres below surface

• Historic drilled intercepts include:

  • 25.38m of 0.10% Cu, 0.52%Pb, 1.78% Zn, 13.74g/t Ag, and 0.09g/t Au in HS09-21 from 133.77m

  • 59.70m of 0.11% Cu, 0.17% Pb, 0.66% Zn, 8.32g/t Ag, and 0.23g/t Au in HS-87-2 from 9.20m

REGIONAL SETTING

Havens Steady is located within the Central Mobile Belt of the Dunnage Zone in Newfoundland and Labrador, an area underlain by Cambrian to Silurian volcanic and sedimentary sequences, as well as associated intrusive rocks. Situated along the periphery of the Victoria Lake Supergroup, home to several important volcanic assemblages, the Property resides within a mining-friendly jurisdiction that has historically yielded large, polymetallic VMS deposits. Notably, the past-producing Duck Pond Mine, only 15 kilometres away, reported pre-production reserves of 4.078 million tonnes grading 3.29% Cu, 5.68% Zn, 59.3 g/t Ag, and 0.86 g/t Au, in addition to an inferred and measured resource of 1.073 million tonnes of 3.04% Cu, 7.05% Zn, 71.2g/t Ag and 0.8g/t Au (Canadian Mining Journal, Aug 1, 2006).

The district’s record of high-grade copper, zinc, and precious metal production underlines the geological potential of this emerging critical mineral hub.

GEOLOGICAL SETTING

Dominated by felsic volcanic rocks interbedded with graphitic argillites and siltstones, the Property exhibits strong sericitization and silicification, with chloritic alteration intimately associated with massive and stringer sulfide zones (Figure 2). The multiple known mineralized horizons host notable occurrences of sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and bornite. The broader Buchans-Victoria Lake area is known globally for rich polymetallic ore bodies akin to the prolific Kuroko deposits of Japan.
