The Kraken is starting to show its size.

We catch up with Viridian Metals (CSE:VRDN) President and CEO Tyrell Sutherland as the company puts an initial exploration target around the Kraken Main zone in Labrador, Canada.

Tyrell unpacks:

  • Kraken Main: An initial exploration target of 41–61 million tonnes
  • Scale: Mineralisation has been traced along the wider conductor
  • Drilling: Current work is tightening the spacing across the zone
  • Upside: This year’s drilling is not included in the initial target
  • Next: Metallurgical work and more drilling are planned as Viridian works towards a maiden resource

The first box is drawn.

Viridian wants to see how much bigger the Kraken can get.

About the guest and company
Tyrell Sutherland is president, CEO, and co-founder of Viridian Metals, a Canadian critical metals explorer focused on Labrador. The company’s portfolio includes the Kraken Copper-Nickel-Cobalt and Sedna Copper projects, with exploration aimed at defining new mineral systems in underexplored parts of the region.
