The Viridian Metals team is preparing for its site visit to the Sedna project in Labrador. The Sedna Project isn’t just another copper showing; it’s part of a larger story about copper, critical minerals, and Canada’s role in the energy transition. Here’s five key facts you should know about this project.
1. Sedna Sits at the Heart of Canada’s Copper Frontier
Located in central Labrador, the Sedna Project spans over 2,600km² in a region with a growing reputation for copper potential. The project is surrounded by infrastructure and sits in proximity to several known mineralized systems — yet remains underexplored.
2. It’s 100 % Owned (and Ready for the Next Phase)
Viridian Metals holds 100 percent ownership of the Sedna Project, giving the company full control over how it’s developed. That control has allowed Viridian to move with discipline and precision, including planning a regional scale 2025 work program designed to broaden our understanding of the geology, structures, and mineral systems at play in the basin.
3. The Geology Tells a Promising Story
Historic exploration identified numerous copper showings across the basin. The style of these copper minerals is highly variable and includes shale-hosted, sandstone-hosted and vein-hosted showings. The large number of copper showings is unusual and points to a large system at depth, but their context is poorly understood. Regional mapping and sampling aims to improve our understanding of the controls on copper distribution, such as structures and favourable sedimentary units, to help target high grade copper mineralisation.
4. Sedna is Part of the Solution for Copper Demand
The world is in a copper crunch. As demand accelerates for electrification, EVs, and renewable energy infrastructure, projects like Sedna are critical to building resilient supply chains. This is more than a mining story — it’s a clean energy story, and copper is at the center.
5. The Team is Getting Ready to Get to Work
In June, the Viridian team will head to Sedna for a 21-day site visit, kicking off the 2025 exploration season. Expect field updates, behind-the-scenes content, and insights from geologists, operators, and leaders.
