• Viridian Metals intersected 15.05 meters grading 1.09% copper equivalent at its Kraken copper-nickel-cobalt project in Labrador.
• The intercept lies within 40.8 meters grading 0.63% copper equivalent in hole VKS26-062, a 1.2-kilometer step-out.
• Hole VKS26-060, a 1.5-kilometer step-out, returned 23 meters grading 0.44% copper equivalent, including 10.85 meters at 0.72%.
• Both holes remained mineralized to the end of drilling, leaving the mineralized horizon's full thickness unconstrained.
• Assays remain pending from holes extending another 2.5 kilometers south, including visually identified sulfide intervals of 41.8 meters and 47.3 meters.
