Saga Metals Corp. ( (TSE:SAGA) ) has issued an announcement.
Saga Metals has acquired a 100% interest in the Garneau titanium project from Rio Tinto Exploration Canada, securing 120 claims over 6,450 hectares in Quebec’s premier ilmenite district north of Havre-Saint-Pierre. The project lies within the same anorthosite complex as Rio Tinto’s Lac Tio mine, one of the world’s highest-grade hard rock titanium operations, and benefits from a recently completed Hydro-Québec access road located 4.5 km away.
Work by Rio Tinto has advanced Garneau to a near drill-ready stage, defining a large ovoid magnetic anomaly measuring roughly 4.5 km by 7.5 km that is considered highly prospective for ilmenite mineralization. A high-grade ilmenite-rich boulder grab sample returning 32.4% TiO₂ and associated iron and vanadium supports the geological analogy to Lac Tio, positioning Saga Metals with a potentially significant titanium asset that could enhance its critical minerals portfolio and regional footprint if further exploration confirms an economic deposit.
