SAGA Metals Commences Drilling at Radar Ti-V Project
Vancouver, British Columbia — SAGA Metals Corp. (TSXV: SAGA) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), an exploration company dedicated to uncovering critical minerals, proudly announces the launch of its initial drilling program at the Radar Titanium-Vanadium (Ti-V) Project.
Details of the Drilling Program
The Radar drill program is proceeding with impressive momentum. The team has successfully drilled the fifth of seven planned holes in the Hawkeye zone, surpassing over 1,000 meters of drilling into rock, aligned with the magnetic anomaly identified in the previous geophysical survey.
Gladiator Drilling has efficiently navigated the drilling process, achieving remarkable core recovery with the ability to drill over 100 meters in a single shift. The team has executed seamless drill moves, ensuring operation efficiency throughout the drilling phase.
Insights from the Drilling Operations
Josh Blundell, Owner & Operator of Gladiator Drilling, expressed satisfaction with the rock's drilling characteristics, highlighting the abundance of magnetite as a significant factor contributing to both its softness and strength. This quality has led to exceptional core recovery rates.
Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of SAGA Metals Corp., shared fascinating insights related to the drilling strategy. He noted the accuracy of the magnetic inversions in predicting the drilling outcomes. The first hole was strategically placed within the center of the anomaly, allowing for precise expectations on intercepts, which have proven to be impressively accurate within 10 to 20 meters. The discovery of extensive magnetite throughout the system both as groundmass and layering has exceeded initial anticipations.
Maiden Drill Program Highlights
The maiden drill program at Radar Ti-V has significant milestones:
- Drilling Overview: Initiated on the Radar Ti-V project, targeting a minimum of 1,500 meters in the Hawkeye zone.
- Targeted Location: The Hawkeye zone, being the most advanced, benefits from precise surface samples and detailed geophysics, leading to clear identification of drill targets.
- Potential of the Zone: Assays have confirmed consistent values ranging from 2.5% to 11.1% TiO2 and 0.2% to 0.66% V2O5, indicating a rich presence of these valuable minerals.
- Mineralization Insights: Advanced geophysical technology and magnetic inversion analysis underscore the layered mafic intrusion's structure and mineral potential, extending over 600 meters in depth.
