Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 29, 2026) - SAGA Metals Corp. (TSXV: SAGA) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H) ("SAGA" or the "Company"), a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to report that a second diamond drill rig has arrived on site, effectively doubling the Company's drilling capacity to approximately 400 metres per day. The addition of the second rig represents a strategic move to accelerate the completion of the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") diamond drill program at the Trapper Zone while maintaining the schedule for the release of the MRE 43-101 technical report later this year. Drilling has now advanced to hole R-0064, with a total of 13,149 metres completed to date. With both diamond drill rigs now fully operational, one positioned at Trapper North and the other at Trapper South, the Company has significantly increased its daily advance rates and is executing a more aggressive and systematic drilling strategy. This enhanced operational momentum positions SAGA to efficiently complete the remaining holes required to support its maiden MRE while continuing to expand and define the mineralized footprint at the project. The Trapper Zone forms part of an oxide corridor that includes the Falcon and Hawkeye Zones spanning 29 square kilometres near the center of the 100%-owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project located10 km by all-weather asphalt and gravel road from Cartwright, Labrador, Canada.
