\n \u2b50 #1 Favorite Overall Stock for 2026<\/span>
\n Saga Metals (TSXV: SAGA)<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n

NIA's new #1 favorite overall stock suggestion<\/strong><\/span> for 2026, Saga Metals (TSXV: SAGA)<\/strong>, has relaunched drilling<\/strong><\/span> at Trapper North<\/strong> by adding<\/strong><\/span> a second<\/span> drill rig<\/strong> to its Radar Titanium Project<\/strong> in Labrador. Trapper North<\/strong> is where SAGA<\/strong> drilled its two highest-grade<\/span> titanium intercepts<\/strong> last year.<\/p>\n\n \n

\n

Drill hole R-0009:<\/strong> 87.2 m grading 10.15% TiO\u2082<\/strong> and 0.339% V\u2082O\u2085<\/p>\n

Drill hole R-0008:<\/strong> 68.3 m grading 9.21% TiO\u2082<\/strong> and 0.311% V\u2082O\u2085<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

After the results from those two holes were released on January 2, 2026, SAGA surged<\/span><\/strong> to a new all-time high<\/strong><\/span> of $0.98 per share<\/strong> on January 12, 2026.<\/p>\n\n

SAGA<\/strong> is now drilling<\/strong><\/span> holes #63<\/strong> and #64<\/strong> at the Radar Titanium Project (one at Trapper North and one at Trapper South) while logging<\/strong><\/span> hole #62<\/strong>. The company also confirmed<\/strong><\/span> on Monday that it has intercepted<\/span> oxide mineralization<\/strong> in all 61 of the 61 logged drill holes<\/strong> completed to date.<\/p>\n\n

SAGA's latest<\/span> completed drill hole<\/strong>, #61<\/strong>, intercepted 224.1 meters<\/strong> of total oxide mineralization: the longest<\/span> oxide intercept<\/strong> reported by the company in 2026. This includes 93.5 meters of semi-massive oxide and 130.6 meters of rhythmic layering.<\/p>\n\n

SAGA<\/strong> already has samples from holes R-0047 through R-0049<\/strong> at the laboratory, with assay results<\/strong><\/span> expected shortly.<\/p>\n\n

\n \"Saga\n <\/p>\n\n

SAGA<\/strong> has also discovered a new<\/strong><\/span> "Trapper Transition"<\/strong> zone connecting<\/strong><\/span> the Trapper North<\/strong> and Trapper South<\/strong> mineralized zones. Drill holes #58, #59, and #60 were completed within this transition area. Impressively, hole #59<\/strong> intersected<\/strong><\/span> 185.7 meters<\/strong> of total oxide mineralization<\/strong>, while hole #60<\/strong> intersected<\/strong><\/span> 160.9 meters<\/strong> of total oxide mineralization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

\n \ud83e\udd48 New #2 Favorite Overall Stock for 2026<\/span>
\n Temas Resources (CSE: TMAS)<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n

NIA announced on Monday that it is making Temas Resources (CSE: TMAS)<\/strong> its new #2 favorite overall stock suggestion<\/strong><\/span> for 2026.<\/p>\n\n

Temas<\/strong> owns a 100% interest<\/strong><\/span> in the La Blache Project<\/strong> in Québec, which hosts an NI 43-101 compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 208.5 million tonnes<\/strong> grading 16.7% TiO\u2082 equivalent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Temas<\/strong> has been consistently<\/span> intercepting<\/span> gallium<\/strong>, scandium<\/strong>, and chromium<\/strong> within the massive oxide zones<\/strong> at La Blache<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

\n \"Temas\n <\/p>\n\n

In 2025, TMAS acquired 100%<\/span><\/strong> of ORF Technologies Inc.<\/strong>, which owns<\/strong><\/span> a portfolio of patents<\/strong> covering<\/strong><\/span> its proprietary Regenerative Chloride Leach (RCL)<\/strong> technology.<\/p>\n\n

Examples of the company's U.S. patents include:<\/p>\n\n \n

\n US8916116B2<\/strong> – Separation of Iron from Value Metals in Leaching of Laterite Ores
\n US9732398B2<\/strong> – Chloride Process for the Leaching of Gold
\n US10041141B2<\/strong> – Process for the Separation of Iron in Extraction of Titanium in Mixed Chloride Media
\n US10053750B2<\/strong> – Recovery of Nickel in Leaching of Laterite Ores
\n US10150686B2<\/strong> – Removal of Arsenic from Contaminated Aqueous Solutions\n <\/div>\n\n

The RCL technology<\/strong> originated from research conducted by Process Research ORTECH (PRO)<\/strong>, an Ontario-based metallurgical research company with roots in the former Ontario Research Foundation<\/strong>. The technology was developed over more than 30 years, with over<\/strong> C$10 million<\/strong> invested<\/strong><\/span> in research and development<\/strong>, including support<\/strong><\/span> from government-funded programs<\/strong>, before the intellectual property<\/strong> was commercialized<\/strong><\/span> through ORF Technologies Inc.<\/strong>, which Temas acquired<\/span><\/strong> in 2025.<\/p>\n\n
