## Minestarters Atlas summary

Viridian Metals Inc. announced that step-out drilling along a 3-kilometre trend at its Kraken Main Zone intersected visually identified sulphides in all eight holes, with broad and semi-massive intervals, indicating significant exploration potential. While assays for these new step-out holes are pending, the company reported additional assay results from the extension of historical holes, including 23.05 metres at 0.24% CuEq in VKS25-025. The company also announced an agreement with Oak Hill Financial for investor engagement and DTC eligibility for its common shares.

Reasoning: The document reports significant visual sulphide mineralization over a 3 km step-out at Kraken Main, suggesting substantial exploration potential, which is a positive development. However, the lack of assay results for these new intercepts and the moderate grades from extended historical holes temper the immediate impact. The corporate updates are neutral to positive.

- Positive factor: Step-out drilling intersected visual sulphides over 3 km, indicating large-scale potential

- Positive factor: Broad sulphide-bearing intervals observed in multiple holes

- Positive factor: Semi-massive sulphides identified in step-out holes

- Positive factor: Sulphides begin at bedrock and remain open at depth

- Positive factor: QA/QC procedures are disclosed and lab is accredited

- Positive factor: Qualified Person has reviewed and approved technical disclosure

- Positive factor: Cut-off grade and internal dilution rules are clearly stated for reported intervals

- Negative factor: Visual sulphide intercepts lack assay results, reducing immediate impact

- Negative factor: True thicknesses of reported intervals are not yet known

- Negative factor: One hole \(VKS26-055\) did not reach its intended target depth

- Negative factor: New assay results for VKS25-025 extension show moderate CuEq grade, below prior best grades for the project

- Negative factor: Many new assay results are below the project's average grades for nickel, copper, and cobalt

Facts used in scoring: 89

## 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 the Main Zone.

Evidence · text

> 3 km of step-out drilling:All eight successfully drilled holes intersected visually identified patchy net textured sulphides along the southern 3 km of Kraken Main.

**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 includes a detailed QA/QC section mentioning certified lab, standards, blanks, and check assays.

Evidence · text

> QA/QC On receipt from the drill site BTW-sized drill core was systematically logged for geological attributes, photographed and sampled at Viridian’s Core Shack at Kraken Camp. Sample lengths as small as 0.30 m were used to isolate features of interest, but most samples within moderate to strong mineralization were 0.5-1.0 m in length. Core was cut in half lengthwise along a pre-determined line, with one half \(same half, consistently, dictated by cut line where present\) collected for analysis and one half stored as a record. 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. Samples were dried, crushed \(&lt; 7 kg\) up to 80% passing 2 mm using riffle split \(250 g\) and pulverized to 95% passing 105 µm \(code RX1\). A four-acid near-total digest with an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy \(ICP-OES\) finish was used for 35-element analysis on 25 g sample pulps \(code 1F2\). Samples that were over the analyses limit for Co, Cu and Ni were reanalyzed using sodium peroxide fusion ICP \(code 8-peroxide\).

**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 stated as a Qualified Person and has 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.

**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 document 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.

**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 of 0.1% CuEq with 1.5m internal dilution is explicitly stated for interval calculation.

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.

## 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.
