## New Assays Confirm Higher Grades
Viridian Metals intersected 15.05m at 1.09% CuEq in 1.5km step-out drilling at Kraken Main.

> 15.05 metres at 1.09% CuEq
## First Step-Out Results
Results are the first assays from Viridian's southern step-out drilling program.
## 1.5km Step-Out Hole VKS26-060
Intersected 23.0m at 0.44% CuEq, including 10.85m at 0.72% CuEq.

> 23.0 metres at 0.44% CuEq
## 1.2km Step-Out Hole VKS26-062
Intersected 40.8m at 0.63% CuEq, including 15.05m at 1.09% CuEq.

> 40.8 metres at 0.63% CuEq
## Greater Mineralized Thicknesses
Both holes intersected mineralization from top of bedrock to end of hole, exceeding 30m thickness.

> exceeding 30 metres thickness
## Higher-Grade Zones Emerging
Both holes intersected grades exceeding 1.5% CuEq at bedrock contact.

> exceeding 1.5% CuEq
## Assays Pending from Additional Holes
Results pending from 2.5km of additional southern step-out holes.

> 2.5 km of additional southern step-out holes
## Key takeaway

Viridian Metals intersected 15.05m at 1.09% CuEq in 1.5km step-out drilling at Kraken Main, supporting thicker mineralized system than initial targets.
