“Qualifying to upgrade to the OTCQX Best Market, OTC Markets’ highest-level market, is an important milestone for SAGA. It reflects the progress we have made in advancing our critical minerals portfolio and our commitment to the high standards of financial reporting, corporate governance, and transparency that U.S. investors expect.

Trading on OTCQX will significantly enhance our visibility and accessibility to a broader base of institutional and retail investors in the United States, while complementing our existing listings. As a North American critical minerals company, SAGA is focused on discovering and advancing assets that support secure, allied supply chains for materials essential to defense, aerospace, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing. Our flagship Radar Titanium-Vanadium-Iron Project in Labrador, along with our growing portfolio of rare earth, uranium, and other critical mineral projects, positions us to potentially contribute meaningfully to North American supply-chain security. We believe this upgrade strengthens our platform as we continue to deliver exploration results and create long-term value for shareholders.”
