Viridian Metals Commences Drilling at Kraken Main Zone viridianmetals.com Vancouver, B.C., Canada – August 25, 2025. Drilling has commenced at the Main Zone of Viridian Metals Inc.’s (CSE: VRDN) (“Viridian” or the “Company”) 100%-owned Kraken Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Labrador. Viridian’s 2025 program consists of 30–50 diamond drill holes targeting mineralization within 30 metres of surface. This work builds on the 2024 campaign, which returned intercepts grading over 4% copper and multiple intervals exceeding 20 metres from surface (see news release dated February 26, 2025, available on SEDAR+ and the Company’s website). This year’s drilling will focus on two objectives: advancing toward potential resource definition within the Main Zone and testing modeled conductors in its vicinity that may represent higher-grade domains of mineralization. Figure 1: Low impact mini drill rig used for targeting mineralization from surface to 30m depth “This program builds directly on the momentum from last year’s success,” said Tyrell Sutherland, President & CEO. “Our aim is twofold: to advance toward potential resource definition at the Main Zone and to test modeled conductors in its vicinity that could define higher-grade domains. By combining disciplined targeting with technology suited to near-surface targets, we are advancing Kraken responsibly and with purpose.” Drilling is being completed by Compass Exploration Group Ltd. using their low-impact mini-drill diamond drill rig. In addition to minimizing surface disturbance, this approach is more cost-effective on a per-hole basis than conventional drilling, allowing Viridian to test a greater number of shallow targets ideal for the near-surface nature of mineralization at the Main Zone.
