Answered my own question... re: "Question Slide 10... Has Sage staked the green as well?... As maps on 9 and 10 do not match re: SGX claims."...
Using Ontarios fabulous online Claimaps system (would recommend anyone interested in mining in ON to check it out... panning is a little annoying if you have slow connection but all in all a great system):

We are able to confirm that areas depicted in green on slide 10 of latest April corporate presentation have indeed been staked by SGX. For example, search claim number 4223459... this is the 'green' claim block just north of the most northerly 'yellow' claim (i.e. existing/previous Onaman claims). You can get you bearings from this claim block and navigate around from there.
Claim system does not appear to be completely updated as some claim blocks on SGX map do not even appear on Claimaps... this could be because SGX has physically staked the claim but officially not recorded.. yet. There is a lag between staking date and record date... with the former being first.
I looked up a bunch of SGX 'green' claim numbers and it seems most staked in December 2007 thru February 2008. Great news IMO. Companies do not tend to waste money (as it does require $ work commitment) staking such a LARGE land position unless they really think or have knowledge (i.e. airborne geophysics survey competed just prior to this staking Dec 2007!??!) of the area and its potential. SGX seems to really want all remaining land around Onaman Lake.
IMO don't underestimate the magnitude of this staking... this is a huge land position to stake in such a short period of time. Also great to see such diligent work being done throughout the winter.
Slide 10 has become my favorite of the entire presentation... Jacobus quartz vein pic is a close 2nd though. :D
