Viridian Metals reported first assays from its southern step-out program at Kraken, intersecting 15.05 metres at 1.09% CuEq within 40.8 metres at 0.63% CuEq about 1.5 km south of prior drilling. Both holes were mineralized from the top of bedrock to end of hole, with intercepts exceeding 30 metres — more than three times the 8.6-metre average thickness underpinning the initial Exploration Target.
