Event Summary

Viridian Metals has been awarded $225,000 under the Junior Exploration Assistance (JEA) program by Canada — Newfoundland and Labrador, representing the maximum funding available for the 2025 cycle. This marks the third consecutive year Viridian Metals has received this funding, which supports its mineral exploration programs, specifically the 2025 field program at its Sedna Project and planned work at its Kraken Project. Additionally, Viridian Metals has elected to move to semi-annual financial reporting by relying on Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933, exempting it from filing interim financial reports for its first and third quarters. This change in reporting is expected to streamline its financial disclosure process.
