# Viridian Intersects Sulphides Throughout 3 km of Step-Out Drilling at Kraken Main, Agreement with Oak Hill Financial and DTC Eligibility Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/viridian-intersects-sulphides-throughout-3-km-of-step-out-drilling-at-kraken-mai--5a5806ad-0e0d-4ef0-90dc-8885bc535d3e Original source: https://webfiles-primary.thecse.com/news_releases/en/5217/0af29a10-a8cc-49e0-9b34-0b0abb7921c5 Publisher: cse Original announcement: 2026-10-02T17:48:58.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-02T18:35:20.061Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-02T18:35:20.061Z - Company: Viridian Metals Inc. - Ticker: VRDN - Exchange: CSE - Region: Labrador - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Nickel, Cobalt - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-10-02 18:35:20 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Viridian Metals reported visual sulphide intersections over a 3 km step-out at its Kraken Main Zone in Labrador, with broad and semi-massive sulphides observed in multiple holes, indicating significant exploration potential. The company also released additional assay results for previously drilled holes, including a high-grade 2.18% CuEq over 1.3 meters in VKS26-054 and a 23.05-meter interval at 0.24% CuEq from an extended hole. Separately, Viridian announced an agreement with Oak Hill Financial for investor relations and achieved DTC eligibility to enhance share liquidity in the US. Reasoning: Viridian Metals reported significant visual sulphide intersections over a 3 km step-out at Kraken Main, indicating a large mineralized system, alongside new assay results for several holes, some of which show high-grade CuEq. The corporate updates on DTC eligibility and investor relations are also positive for market access. - Positive factor: significant\_step\_out\_drilling - Positive factor: visual\_sulphide\_intersections - Positive factor: broad\_sulphide\_intervals - Positive factor: semi\_massive\_sulphides\_observed - Positive factor: sulphides\_from\_bedrock\_remaining\_open - Positive factor: qa\_qc\_disclosed - Positive factor: qp\_signed - Positive factor: dtc\_eligibility\_announced - Positive factor: investor\_relations\_agreement - Negative factor: no\_assay\_results\_for\_step\_out\_drilling - Negative factor: apparent\_width\_only - Negative factor: main\_target\_not\_reached\_in\_extended\_hole - Negative factor: hole\_did\_not\_reach\_target\_depth Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source. Facts used in scoring: 56 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The document reports 3 km of step-out drilling along the southern part of Kraken Main, extending the known mineralization footprint. Evidence · text > 3 km of Step-Out Drilling at Kraken Main **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: The release explicitly states that reported intervals represent downhole lengths and true thicknesses are not yet known. Evidence · text > Reported intervals represent downhole lengths; true thicknesses are not yet known. **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: The release details QA/QC procedures including insertion of standards and blanks, and mentions the use of an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. Evidence · text > Standard reference materials and blanks were inserted by Viridian personnel at regular intervals into the sample stream. Bagged samples were sealed with security tags to ensure integrity during transport. They were delivered by expeditor to Activation Labs’ facility in Ancaster, ON. Activation Labs is independent of Viridian and accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. **QP/CP Signed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Qualified Person \(QP\) or Competent Person \(CP\) named and signed off — a member of a recognized professional association \(e.g., AusIMM, SME, AIG, P.Geo\) with relevant experience. Why it applies: Tyrell Sutherland, P.Geo, President and CEO of Viridian Metals, is named as a Qualified Person who reviewed and approved the technical disclosure. Evidence · text > Tyrell Sutherland, P.Geo, President and CEO of Viridian Metals, who is a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release. **Cut-off Disclosed** Polarity: positive Story-specific tag Definition: Cut-off grade used for resource reporting is clearly stated, enabling like-for-like comparison. Why it applies: The cut-off grade used for calculating intercepts \(0.1% CuEq\) is clearly stated. Evidence · text > Intercepts are calculated using a 0.1% CuEq¹ cut-off grade corresponding to approximately $10USD NSR with no more than 1.5 m of internal dilution. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The drilling program includes infilling to a drill hole completed in 2023. Evidence · text > beginning approximately 500 metres south of Viridian’s 2025 drilling infilling to a drill hole completed in 2023. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 56.

Why it applies: no cutoff\_grade was stated ## How Atlas produces this analysis Minestarters Atlas uses automated extraction to summarize mining announcements, identify reported measurements, and classify supporting evidence. Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
