September 11, 2026

SAGA Metals’ flagship is the Radar titanium-vanadium-iron project about 10 km south of Cartwright in southeastern Labrador, covering the Dykes River intrusive complex, a layered mafic intrusion hosting vanadiferous titanomagnetite and ilmenite. The second asset is Wolverine, a rare earth project roughly 50 km west of Hopedale and 12 km inland from the coast. In this interview, I asked about the resource drilling just completed at Radar, the metallurgical work with Temas Resources, treasury and spending, insider ownership and royalties, and permitting and port access.

It is an Archean turbidite-hosted quartz vein deposit where the A-Zone was mined intermittently through the 1990s, and the company’s whole plan is to restart it at 100 tonnes per day. In this interview, I got an introduction to the story, and was able to ask more questions about permitting, specifically the water management plan and baseline water sampling that is now holding up the restart, plus insider ownership, royalties, mining method, and how you would even value the thing without a technical study.
