VANCOUVER, BC, /CNW/ - Viridian Metals Inc. (CSE: VRDN) ("Viridian" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Stacie Jones to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Ms. Jones brings extensive experience in mineral exploration and project development, further strengthening Viridian's leadership as it advances its critical metals portfolio in Labrador. Jones brings over a decade of technical and leadership experience in mineral exploration, across a wide variety of commodities including, base metals, gold and uranium, with significant experience in remote, district scale projects. Jones works closely with exploration-stage companies to shape technical strategy, support executive decision-making, and contribute to the delivery of technical services during key phases of corporate growth. Previously, she was Vice President of Exploration at Golden Planet Mining, where she led multi-phase drill programs and played a central role in building the company's discovery pipeline. Earlier in her career, Jones contributed significantly to the advancement of the Back River Gold Project during her time at Sabina Gold and Silver, helping to grow the global resource to over 5M oz and position the project for eventual acquisition by B2 Gold. Her broad experience across discovery, development, and corporate strategy brings valuable technical perspective to Viridian's Board as the Company advances its copper and nickel exploration efforts in Labrador. "Stacie brings an exceptional blend of technical expertise, operational leadership, and strategic thinking to our board. Her experience advancing early-stage exploration into meaningful discovery, and her ability to bridge science with commercial execution, aligns perfectly with Viridian's mission," said Tyrell Sutherland, President of Viridian Metals. "As we scale our copper exploration efforts and deepen our commitment to responsible development, Stacie's insight will be instrumental in helping us unlock value—both in the ground and for our stakeholders." Jones' appointment comes as Viridian advances fieldwork at its Sedna copper project and sharpens its exploration focus on copper—driven by rising global demand. The Company is also evaluating the potential to better define high-grade copper zones at its Kraken project, aiming to unlock additional value within its Labrador portfolio. Jones' appointment is subject to the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Viridian Metals expands land holdings in Labrador, Canada
Viridian Metals has expanded its land holdings in the Seal Basin, Labrador, by securing 2,600km² through staking. This acquisition makes Viridian the largest claim holder in Newfoundland and Labrador, enhancing its capacity to conduct large-scale exploration initiatives in one of the most promising regions in the country. The newly acquired area contains more than 70 documented copper occurrences, most of which remain unexplored. The staking has expanded Viridian's previous claim within the Seal Basin from approximately 10km² to the current 2,600km². Viridian Metals CEO Tyrell Sutherland said: 'This large project area is a testament to the exceptional geological potential we see in Labrador. 'The area we have secured offers a wealth of exploration opportunities. We are excited to accelerate our work in such a highly prospective region and believe it has the capacity to deliver significant value as we seek to discover the extent [of] its mineral wealth.' Viridian aims to define high-priority zones through preliminary data analysis. The region's geological formations are believed to be conducive to copper concentration, aligning with Viridian's primary focus on copper. The copper occurrences in the Seal Basin are documented in the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador's Mineral Occurrence Data System. These records were created during mapping programmes in the 1960s, 1970s and 2010s. The underexplored nature of the Seal Basin, combined with modern exploration techniques, offers an opportunity to discover copper deposits in a Tier-One jurisdiction. The region's proximity to key roads and power infrastructure, coupled with the growing demand for critical minerals, presents a significant opportunity to secure potentially high-grade copper. Viridian Metals also recently announced the receipt of analytical results from six drill-holes at the Kraken Ni-Cu-Co (nickel-copper-cobalt) Project 2024. Holes three and five successfully hit the Main Zone mineralisation, with results including 21.1m at 0.57% combined Ni+Cu+Co and 2.15m at 2.17% Ni+Cu+Co. The company is awaiting analytical results from the remaining 17 holes of the diamond drilling campaign. The results from these drill-holes are expected to further define the mineralisation within the Kraken Ni-Cu-Co Project.
