Sage Potash completes Peterson 1 drill program
Vancouver, British Columbia and Salt Lake City, Utah--(Newsfile Corp. - August 5, 2026) - Sage Potash Corp. (TSXV: SAGE) (OTCQB: SGPTF) ("Sage Potash" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of drilling operations at the Peterson 1 well, located at the Company's Sage Plain Potash Project in southeast Utah.
The Peterson 1 well reached a total depth 2,248 metres, successfully intersecting the targeted Cycle 18 Upper and Lower potash-bearing beds. Continuous core has been recovered from both mineralized intervals and is being prepared for shipment to the Saskatchewan Research Council ("SRC") in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where it will undergo detailed geological logging and assays.
In addition to the recovered core, the Company is currently completing a comprehensive suite of downhole geophysical surveys, including a gamma ray survey which identifies the presence of potash and provides valuable geological data to complement the laboratory results.
Patricio Varas, Chief Executive Officer of Sage Potash, commented:
"Our team is pleased to witness the successful recovery and logging of core from the potash beds and the completion of the drill program" commented Pat Varas, Chief Executive Officer of Sage Potash. "We look forward to the assay results in order to expand and upgrade the resource and confirm the quality of this outstanding Potash asset."
The Peterson 1 drill program was designed to validate the continuity, thickness and grade of the Company's potash mineralization while collecting critical geological information to support future resource updates, engineering studies and project development.
The Company will continue to provide updates as results become available.
