–Seven diamond drill holes (1,244m) completed in less than two weeks with confirmed oxide mineralization in all logged holes–

Saga Metals Corp. (‘SAGA’ or the ‘Company’) (TSXV: SAGA,OTC:SAGMF) (OTCQB: SAGMF) (FSE: 20H), a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discoveries, is pleased to provide an operational update on its ongoing 2026 phase of the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (‘MRE’) diamond drill program at the Trapper Zone within the 100%-owned Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project near Cartwright, Labrador, Canada.

Drill Program Highlights

• Completed seven (7) holes (R-0016 to R-0022) with significant oxide intercepts ranging from 58 m to 111.67 m, predominantly semi-massive oxide with extensive rhythmic layering.
• Multiple holes intercepted broad zones of semi-massive oxide exceeding 65–87 m, confirming increased oxide concentration and thickness in the southeastern anomaly.
• Rhythmic banding and semi-massive to massive oxide mineralization observed consistently, aligning with prior high-grade results from Trapper North.
• Drilling progressing efficiently, with the eighth (8) hole (R-0023) nearing completion as the first test of the southwestern target area.
• Upon completion of R-0023, the drill rig will move north along the southwestern limb in Trapper South, continuing systematic expansion along the trend.

Since commencing drilling in late January 2026, the team has completed seven (7) diamond drill holes with depths ranging from 149 m to 206 m, totalling 1,244 m drilled, targeting the southeastern oxide anomaly in Trapper South. Notable intercepts include 111.67 m of oxide in R-0018 (including 65.04 m semi-massive), 90.08 m in R-0017 (including 87.08 m semi-massive), 87.2 m in R-0020 (with 58.7 m rhythmic layering), 66.45 m of oxide s in R-0019, and 58 m in R-0016. R-0017 twinned R-0016 at a steeper dip for structural confidence comparison. R-0021 and -0022 are currently being logged and are expected to be reported shortly. R-0022 marks the conclusion of targeting this specific southeastern portion of the anomaly. These holes continue to demonstrate extensive rhythmic oxide layering and semi-massive mineralization, hallmarks of the high-grade oxide sequences observed across the project. The drill rig is now located on the southwestern oxide anomaly in Trapper South and has commenced drilling on R-0023.

See Table 1 below which depicts the total length of the oxide intercepts.

Detailed Drill Hole Summary (R-0016 to R-0022)

Table 1: Summary of drill holes R-0016 to R-0022, highlighting the oxide intercepts. Logging of R-0021 & -0022 is in progress.

Figure 2: Trapper Zone map outlining location of the initial 2026 focus for the remainder of the MRE drill program to be completed in 2026, including cross-sections N11, S11, S8 S7, S6 and longitudinal section CC, showing the TMI of the 2025 Trapper Zone ground magnetic survey. Drilling will commence in Trapper South and move to Trapper North.

Drilling the southeastern limb of Trapper South focused on 100 m spacing to test the oxide zone, with drill holes R-0016 to R-0022. Two drill holes were twinned to better define the oxide intercepts and structures. These twinned holes are R-0016 and R-0017, drilled at 45° and 70° respectively at N038 azimuth, and R-0020 and R-0021 with the same azimuth and inclination respectively.

The oxide zone in R-0016 is intercepted at 44 m, a faulted contact with the Gabbronorite into semi-massive oxides. This zone includes rhythmic layering with a SE striking magmatic contact with the semi-massive oxide at 95m, dipping to the west (N145 30SW). The 68.5m oxide zone ends at 112.5 m with rhythmic layering at a steep NNW fault dipping NE (N354 78NE).

R-0017 is drilled at the same location with an inclination of 70° to test the intercepts of the oxide zone. The oxide zone in this drill hole is intersected at 50.56 m, correlating nicely to R-0016 and the believed 85-degree dipping oxide unit, at a fault contact of Gabbronorite and semi-massive oxides. The lower contact of the oxide zone with the gabbronorite is intersected at 140.6m, a fault contact represented by a 0.2 m felsic dyke, for a total cumulative oxide zone in R-0017 of 90.8 m.

Figure 3: Cross section of S8 showing R-0016 and R-0017 highlighting intercepts of semi massive oxides and layering sequence with the 3D Magnetic Inversion of the 2025 Trapper Zone ground magnetic survey.

Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of Saga Metals, commented: ‘Drilling is progressing at an exceptional pace with 7 drill holes completed in less than two weeks. These early 2026 observations from the southeastern anomaly at Trapper South are highly encouraging, with intercepts of semi-massive to massive oxide mineralization and/or prominent rhythmic banding observed in every hole. The consistency and thickness we’re seeing reinforce our confidence in the potential scale and continuity of this zone. Completing R-0022 has wrapped up our targeted section in the southeast, allowing us to shift to the western limb and build toward a more comprehensive understanding of the entire Trapper South anomaly as we advance our maiden MRE.’

With sampling of drill holes R-0016 and -0017 completed, a total of 209 samples have been sent to Impact Global Solutions (IGS) Laboratory in Montreal. Teams are actively logging and sampling the remaining completed holes, with shipment of additional samples from R-0018 and -0019 planned for early next week. Assay results from these holes are pending and will be released as they become available. The Company remains on track with its systematic MRE drill program across the Trapper Zone.

Key Project Highlights:

• Confirmed mineralization in 22 out of 22 drill holes completed and observed in two primary zones to date.
• Analytical results to date include numerous oxide-rich intercepts, including:

Table 2: Top 7 intercepts from the 2025 drilling programs at both Trapper and Hawkeye Zones

• Infrastructure including road access, deep-water port, nearby hydro-electric power and airstrip.
• Confirmed the 16+ km oxide layering trend that stretches from the Hawkeye Zone to the Trapper Zone.
• Exceptional grades and thicknesses with semi-massive to massive oxide reporting up to 64.55% Fe,13.3% TiO2, and 0.66% V2O5.
• Petrographic analysis confirms titanomagnetite mineralization is advantageous for simplified metallurgical processing.

About the Radar Critical Mineral Property in Labrador

The Radar Property spans 24,175 hectares and hosts the entire Dykes River intrusive complex (~160 km²), 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.

Figure 4: Radar Property map, depicting magnetic anomalies, oxide layering and the site of the 2025 drill programs. The Property is well serviced by road access and is conveniently located near the town of Cartwright, Labrador. A compilation of historical aeromagnetic anomalies is overlaid by ground-based geophysics, as shown.

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.

Tartisan Nickel Corp. (CSE: TN,OTC:TTSRF) (OTCQB: TTSRF) (FSE: 8TA) (‘Tartisan’, or the ‘Company’) is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s flagship Kenbridge Nickel-Coppet-Cobalt Project, Sioux Narrows, Ontario. The drill program is designed to test the on strike and down dip potential for additional nickel sulphide mineralization and to enhance the size and grade of the Kenbridge Deposit.

A total of 2,700m of drilling has been completed to date. The first 3 drill targets have been completed (drill holes KB26-207, KB26-208 and KB26-209 outlined on Figure 1). Samples have been delivered to AGAT Labs in Thunder Bay for analysis. Assays are pending for hole KB26-209. The drill rig is currently drilling the 4th drill hole KB26-210. This hole is designed to be drilled below the existing shaft bottom to test for the depth extension to the deposit.

Reported in this release are the results from the 2nd infill drill hole KB26-208. Results from the hole confirm both A and B zones were intersected as outlined in Table 1 below. Zone A was intersected from 571.5m to 574.5m drill depth and returned 0.68% Ni, 0.28% Cu over 3.0 metres. Zone B was intersected from 580.5m to 591.5m drill depth. Results were 1.05% Ni, 0.33% Cu over 11.0 metres including 2.0 metres of 4.79% Ni, 1.25% Cu. Drill core intersection widths are estimated to be between 65 and 80% true width.

The core samples are split with a diamond blade saw with continuous running water, half of the sample is sent for lab testing, and the remaining half core is left in the core box for record or further sampling. The core samples are bagged in heavy plastic bags with 6 samples being placed into a rice bag for transport to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, ON or Calgary, AB for assay. Samples are submitted in batches of 50. 100g blind certified reference materials (CRMs) from CDN Resources, as well as, duplicates and blank samples are systematically inserted by the Company into the sample stream with reference to the mineralization in the sampled rock and analyzed as part of the Company’s quality assurance/quality control protocol, as well, AGAT labs implements their own quality control testing by inserting their own CRMs and Blanks in the sample stream for accredited testing.

All drill core samples were prepped and analyzed at AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario or shipped to Calgary for testing. An ISO/IEC 17025 2017 certified independent laboratory from organizations like the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the Canadian Association for Laboratory Accreditation (CALA), ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) and the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). They maintain accreditations across their facilities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Quebec and internationally.

NQ-diameter sawed half-core samples from the drilling program were securely sent by Tartisan Nickel Corp’s geologists to AGAT Laboratories Ltd. (AGAT), with sample preparation in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and analysis in Thunder Bay, Ontario & Calgary, Alberta. Samples were processed for Au, Pt and Pd analysis by 50-gram fire assay with ICP-OES finish and for four acid digestion, multi-element analysis by inductively coupled plasma & mass spectrometry (ICP OES + MS). AGAT sample preparation and laboratory analysis procedures conform to requirements of ISO/IEC Standard 17025 guidelines and meet the requirements under NI 43-101 and CIM best practice guidelines. AGAT Laboratories is independent of Tartisan Nickel Corp.

Samples were dried and crushed to 2 mm, from which a 250 g sub-sample split was then pulverized to 85% passing a 75 micron sieve. Following preparation, assays were determined by the ICP OES method. A 0.25 g aliquot of the prepared pulp was digested in a 4-acid solution consisting of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids. 4-acid is a near total digest and only the most highly resistant minerals are not dissolved. The resulting solution was analyzed via ICP-MS and ICP-ES for 8 elements and was corrected for inter-element spectral interferences. Lower detection limits for this procedure are 0.01 ppm for nickel, 0.01 ppm for copper, 0.01 ppm for cobalt, 0.01 ppm for platinum, 0.01 ppm palladium, 0.01 ppm silver and 0.01 ppm for gold.

Samples with initial results beyond the upper detection limit of the ICP OES method were analyzed by (201-071) 4 acid digest – Metals Package, ICP-OES/ICP-MS finish (CGY). The thresholds are >1% for nickel, copper and cobalt. AGAT Laboratories employs internal quality control standards, duplicates and blank samples at set frequencies. Tartisan Nickel Corp. stores all its drilled core on-site and takes pride in its facilities and strives for excellence in its QA/QC procedures.

Standard Uranium Ltd. (TSXV: STND,OTC:STTDF) (OTCQB: STTDF) (FSE: 9SU0) (‘Standard Uranium’ or the ‘Company’)  is pleased to announce that drilling activities have commenced at the Company’s 12,364-hectare Corvo Uranium Project (‘Corvo’, or the ‘Project’) located near Wollaston Lake in northeastern Saskatchewan (Figure 1). Field crews arrived at the Project on February 6th and drilling commenced on schedule, February 9th.

The Project is currently under a three-year earn-in option agreement (the ‘Option Agreement‘) with Aventis Energy Inc. (CSE: AVE) (‘Aventis‘). Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Aventis has been granted an option (the ‘Option‘) to earn a 75% interest in the Project by funding CAD$6M in exploration expenditures over three years. The drill program will be funded by Aventis and operated by Standard Uranium.

Highlights:

• Drilling Underway: Drilling activities began on February 9, 2026. Approximately 2,500-3,000 metres are planned across eight (8) to ten (10) drill holes targeting shallow high-grade^* basement-hosted uranium mineralization, beginning with the Manhattan target area. The program is anticipated to span five (5) to six (6) weeks.

• Robust & Shallow Drill Targets: Drill plans comprise road accessible skid-supported diamond drilling focused on high-priority uranium targets refined by geophysical work completed by the Company in 2025, bolstered by recent prospecting and confirmation of strong radioactivity at surface (up to 8.10% U₃O₈ grab samples at Manhattan¹) within ideal uranium host rocks.

• Untapped Uranium Potential: One diamond drill will focus on high-priority target areas along prospective Xcite^TM electromagnetic (‘EM‘) corridors overlain by high-resolution ground gravity data with the proven exploration thesis of focusing on major conductor trends associated with cross-cutting faults and surficial radioactivity expressions.

• Fully Funded: Aventis Energy will fund 100% of the program to meet the year-one expenditure requirements under the Option.

‘The team and I are thrilled to announce that the drill is spinning on the Corvo project for the first time in more than 40 years, kicking off our winter exploration season,’ said Sean Hillacre, President & VP Exploration for the Company, ‘This program also marks the first drill holes ever at the Manhattan showing, which returned uranium grades up to 8.10% U₃O₈ in surface samples from our prospecting program in 2025.’

2026 Winter Drill Program

The Standard Uranium team arrived on site February 9, 2026, and diamond drilling on the first hole at Corvo in more than 40 years is currently underway. The winter program will comprise approximately 2,500 to 3,000 metres of drilling at high-priority target areas following completion of TDEM and ground gravity surveys, and geophysical modeling last year. Corvo covers an area of 12,364 hectares across 14 mineral claims, located along highway 905 on the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin.

Target Selection for 2026 Drill Campaign

Targets were selected and prioritized through an iterative approach working in collaboration with Convolutions Geoscience Corporation. Recent prospecting and mapping across the Project outlined multiple outcrops of favourable uranium host-rocks, including radioactive metasediments and orthogneiss. Structural measurements and radioactivity mapping has further refined drill targets in the 2026 target areas.

Targets are ranked and prioritized based on geophysical signature, geological/structural setting, proximity to surficial uranium occurrences of interest, and the Company’s recent prospecting and mapping campaign.

Qualified Person Statement

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed, verified, and approved by Sean Hillacre, P.Geo., President and VP Exploration of the Company and a ‘qualified person’ as defined in NI 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Samples collected for analysis were sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for preparation, processing, and ICP-MS or ICP-OES multi-element analysis using total and partial digestion and boron by fusion. Radioactive samples were tested using the ICP1 uranium multi-element exploration package plus boron. All samples marked as radioactive upon arrival to the lab were also analyzed using the U₃O₈ assay (reported in wt.%). SRC is an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and Standards Council of Canada certified analytical laboratory. Blanks, standard reference materials, and repeats were inserted into the sample stream at regular intervals in accordance with Standard Uranium’s quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocols. All samples passed internal QA/QC protocols and the results presented in this release are deemed complete, reliable, and repeatable.

Historical data disclosed in this news release relating to sampling results from previous operators are historical in nature. Neither the Company nor a qualified person has yet verified this data and therefore investors should not place undue reliance on such data. The Company’s future exploration work may include verification of the data. The Company considers historical results to be relevant as an exploration guide and to assess the mineralization as well as economic potential of exploration projects. Any historical grab samples disclosed are selected samples and may not represent true underlying mineralization.

Natural gamma radiation from rocks reported in this news release was measured in counts per second (‘cps‘) using a handheld RS-125 super-spectrometer and RS-120 super-scintillometer. Readers are cautioned that scintillometer readings are not uniformly or directly related to uranium grades of the rock sample measured and should be treated only as a preliminary indication of the presence of radioactive minerals. The RS-125 and RS-120 units supplied by Radiation Solutions Inc. (‘RSI‘) have been calibrated on specially designed Test Pads by RSI. Standard Uranium maintains an internal QA/QC procedure for calibration and calculation of drift in radioactivity readings through three test pads containing known concentrations of radioactive minerals. Internal test pad radioactivity readings are known and regularly compared to readings measured by the handheld scintillometers for QA/QC purposes.

About Standard Uranium (TSXV: STND,OTC:STTDF)

We find the fuel to power a clean energy future

Standard Uranium is a uranium exploration company and emerging project generator poised for discovery in one of the world’s premier uranium districts. The Company holds interest in over 241,652 acres (97,793 hectares) in the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan, Canada. Since its establishment, Standard Uranium has focused on the identification, acquisition, and exploration of Athabasca-style uranium targets with a view to discovery and future development.

Standard Uranium’s Davidson River Project, in the southwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, comprises ten mineral claims over 30,737 hectares. Davidson River is highly prospective for basement-hosted uranium deposits due to its location along trend from recent high-grade uranium discoveries. However, owing to the large project size with multiple targets, it remains broadly under-tested by drilling. Recent intersections of wide, structurally deformed and strongly altered shear zones provide significant confidence in the exploration model and future success is expected.

Standard Uranium’s eastern Athabasca projects comprise over 53,166 hectares of prospective land holdings. The eastern basin projects are highly prospective for unconformity related and/or basement hosted uranium deposits based on historical uranium occurrences, recently identified geophysical anomalies, and location along trend from several high-grade uranium discoveries.

Standard Uranium’s Sun Dog project, in the northwest part of the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan, is comprised of nine mineral claims over 19,603 hectares. The Sun Dog project is highly prospective for basement and unconformity hosted uranium deposits yet remains largely untested by sufficient drilling despite its location proximal to uranium discoveries in the area.
