Viridian Metals reports thicker, higher-grade copper-nickel-cobalt mineralization at Kraken Main in Labrador

Viridian Metals announced new drilling results from its Kraken Main project in Labrador, revealing mineralized intervals up to 40.8 meters thick with copper equivalent grades reaching 1.09%. These findings significantly exceed the initial exploration target thickness of 8.6 meters, suggesting a much larger and richer mineralized system than previously estimated. The drilling program continues with assays pending from additional holes, and the company plans to update its exploration target in January 2027. This progress supports the potential for substantial open-pit development and expansion of the Kraken Main deposit.
