Month: September 2026

TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Viridian Metals Inc. (“Viridian” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce an Exploration Target of 41 to 61 million tonnes grading 0.35% to 0.52% copper equivalent (“CuEq”) at Kraken Main, part of the Company’s 100%-owned Kraken copper-nickel-cobalt project in Labrador. The potential quantity and grade an Exploration Target are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the Exploration Target being delineated as a Mineral Resource.

Highlights

• Conceptual Exploration Target of 41–61 Mt grading 0.35–0.52% CuEq
   
• Target is based on a modelled average mineralized thickness of 8.6 metres
   
• Ongoing 2026 drilling – including the recently reported 50.15-metre mineralized interval – is not included in the Conceptual Exploration Target

The Initial Exploration Target is based entirely on drilling completed prior to the current 2026 program and uses an average mineralized thickness of 8.6 metres. None of Viridian’s 2026 drilling is included, including the recently reported 50.15-metre mineralized interval in VKS25-024 (as reported in Viridian’s news release dated September 8, 2026).

“The important thing about this initial target is what is not in it,” said Tyrell Sutherland, President and CEO of Viridian Metals. “It is based on an average mineralized thickness of just 8.6 metres, includes none of our 2026 drilling and covers only Kraken Main within a broader system containing over 60 conductors. With relatively sparse drilling informing the target, there remains a great deal to learn about the thickness and continuity of this zone. We have already reported mineralized intervals exceeding 50 metres from this year’s program and continue to infill it to better define its scale. This gives us a solid starting point for understanding the potential of the broader Kraken system.”

Upper Range	61.1	0.52	0.13	0.16	0.03

Notes:

1. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. There is no guarantee that any exploration program will successfully convert an exploration target into an inferred or other category of mineral resource.
2. CuEq = Cu (%) + 1.88 × Ni (%) + 3.75 × Co (%), based on assumed metal prices of US$4.00/lb for copper, US$7.50/lb for nickel and US$15.00/lb for cobalt, and recoveries of 80% for all three metals.
3. The lower and upper ranges reflect ±20% of the thickness and grade.
4. Values are rounded to the nearest million tonnes (Mt) and thousand tonnes (kt).
5. The Exploration Target has not been evaluated for reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction.

Exploration Target Covers One of Over 60 Kraken Conductors

Figure 1: Approximate 2 km² Kraken Main Exploration Target footprint outlined in red and surrounding geophysical conductors identified across the broader Kraken system.

The Kraken Main Exploration Target covers a footprint of approximately 2 km² and represents only a portion of the broader conductive system identified at Kraken. More than 60 conductors have been identified across the project. Only four have been drill tested to date, with all four intersecting magmatic sulphide mineralization. These additional conductors provide numerous targets for future exploration beyond the current Kraken Main footprint.

What is an Exploration Target?

An Exploration Target provides an estimate of the potential scale and grade of a mineralized system at a stage when there is not yet sufficient information to define a Mineral Resource. Viridian has chosen to publish an Exploration Target for Kraken Main to provide investors with a quantitative framework for understanding the scale indicated by the drilling completed to date, while exploration of the system continues.

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the Exploration Target being delineated as a Mineral Resource. Exploration Targets should not be misunderstood as, or equated with, Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves.

Exploration Target Methodology

The Exploration Target was prepared by APEX Geoscience Ltd. using drilling and geophysical data available prior to the 2026 drill program. The estimate combines the interpreted mineralized footprint at Kraken Main with drilling-derived mineralized thicknesses and grades and an average bulk density of 3.0 t/m³. The density is based on 42 measurements collected during the 2024 and 2025 drill programs.

Mineralized intervals were defined using a 0.15% CuEq cut-off. Intervals above the cut-off were grouped into contiguous mineralized composites, allowing limited internal dilution, and composited to two-metre lengths. Historical unsampled intervals were not treated as waste where modern drilling indicated that mineralization generally continued through these intervals.

Spatial declustering was applied to reduce the influence of more closely spaced drilling so that densely drilled areas did not disproportionately affect the estimate. The declustered drillhole intervals produced a spatially representative modelled average mineralized thickness of 8.6 metres at Kraken Main.

The same two-metre composites were used to determine representative grades, with spatial declustering applied to manage the influence of uneven drill spacing. The lower and upper bounds of the Exploration Target were generated by applying ±20% to the thickness and grade.

Copper equivalent grades were calculated using the following formula:

CuEq = Cu (%) + 1.88 × Ni (%) + 3.75 × Co (%)

The calculation assumes metal prices of US$4.00/lb copper, US$7.50/lb nickel and US$15.00/lb cobalt and metallurgical recoveries of 80% for copper, nickel and cobalt. Project-specific metallurgical testing has not yet been completed at Kraken.

Current Exploration and Next Steps

The Exploration Target provides a conceptual estimate of the potential scale of Kraken Main based on drilling completed prior to the 2026 program. Viridian’s ongoing 2026 drill program is focused on expanding and better defining the mineralized system at Kraken Main. Results from the current program are not incorporated into the Exploration Target announced today.

The Company plans to initiate metallurgical test work in late Q4 2026 to establish project-specific recoveries for copper, nickel and cobalt. The current Exploration Target assumes an 80% recovery for each metal. The metallurgical program will provide the first project-specific recovery data for Kraken and will be incorporated into subsequent modelling and copper-equivalent calculations.

Future geological modeling will also evaluate Kraken Main across a range of CuEq cut-off grades. The current Exploration Target uses a 0.15% CuEq cut-off to define mineralized intervals. Evaluating multiple cut-off scenarios will allow the Company to better understand the relationship between tonnage and grade as geological understanding of Kraken Main continues to improve.

The ongoing drill program will continue to test the extent and continuity of mineralization at Kraken Main, with additional assay results expected as drilling progresses.

2026 Drilling Update

Viridian has also received final overlimit assay results for three samples from the ongoing 2026 drill program at Kraken Main. The three samples update the initial results for hole VKS26-054 previously reported on September 8 (see Viridian news release dated September 8, 2026 which is available on the Company SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and the Company’s website at www.viridianmetals.com). These samples represent an aggregate core length of approximately 2.5 metres in the previously reported interval from 20.7-26.9m in hole VKS26-054. Samples were submitted for overlimit analysis after exceeding the upper detection limit of the original analytical method.

Drillhole ID	From	To	Length*	Cu	Ni	Co	CuEq¹
	(m)	(m)	(m)	(%)	(%)	(%)	(%)
VKS26-054	0.7	4.0	3.3	0.36	0.67	0.11	1.68
and	11.7	13.0	1.3	0.65	0.81	0.11	2.18
and	17.45	18.75	1.3	0.44	0.83	0.11	2.01
and	20.7	26.9	6.2	0.38	0.62	0.08	1.57

*True thickness of the reported mineralized intervals is not yet known. Reported interval lengths represent downhole core lengths and should not be interpreted as true thickness.

The overlimit results form part of the ongoing 2026 drill program and were not considered when outlining the Exploration Target announced today. Additional assays from the 2026 program remain pending and will be reported as they are received and reviewed.

QA/QC

On receipt from the drill site BTW-sized drill core was systematically logged for geological attributes, photographed and sampled at Viridian’s Core Shack at Kraken Camp. Sample lengths as small as 0.30 m were used to isolate features of interest, but most samples within moderate to strong mineralization were 0.5-1.0 m in length. Core was cut in half lengthwise along a pre-determined line, with one half (same half, consistently, dictated by cut line where present) collected for analysis and one half stored as a record. Standard reference materials and blanks were inserted by Viridian personnel at regular intervals into the sample stream. Bagged samples were sealed with security tags to ensure integrity during transport. They were delivered by expeditor to Activation Labs’ facility in Ancaster, ON.

Activation Labs is independent of Viridian and accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Samples were dried, crushed (< 7 kg) up to 80% passing 2 mm using riffle split (250 g) and pulverized to 95% passing 105 µm (code RX1). A four-acid near-total digest with an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) finish was used for 35-element analysis on 25 g sample pulps (code 1F2). Samples that were over the analyses limit for Co, Cu and Ni were reanalyzed using sodium peroxide fusion ICP (code 8-peroxide).

Completed Installation of the First Phase of a Planned Rollout Across Cemex Germany’s Truck Fleet
Further Expands SaverOne’s European Footprint

Petah Tikvah, Israel, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SaverOne 2014 Ltd. (Nasdaq: SVRE, TASE: SVRE), a technology company specializing in radio frequency (RF)-based solutions for the advanced transportation safety, defense and homeland security markets, today announced the successful completion of installations in Cemex’s trucks in Germany, equipping part of their truck fleet with SaverOne’s Driver Distraction Prevention System (DDPS). The installation represents the first phase of a planned rollout across Cemex Germany’s full truck fleet and follows the successful deployment of SaverOne’s system in Cemex Germany’s passenger cars, as previously announced in 2025. The successful completion of this phase is a step in both Cemex’s and SaverOne’s mutual intention to expand the installation of these systems throughout Cemex’s fleets globally. For SaverOne, it represents another key expansion of its European footprint.

Trucks operate for extended hours on both highways and dense urban routes, where the consequences of driver distraction are particularly severe, and the extension of the DDPS to Cemex Germany’s trucks follows the positive results achieved to date across Cemex’s fleets in Europe. SaverOne and Cemex intend to advance to the enrollment of the system across the remainder of Cemex’s German truck fleet, and aim to advance new deployments across additional Cemex regions and other global work-truck fleets.

Mr. Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, stated, “Completing this first phase of installations in Cemex Germany’s trucks is an important vote of confidence in our technology and in the results we have delivered to date. Heavy commercial fleets are a core target market for us and already account for the majority of our installations with Cemex, and this phase opens the door to further similar opportunities across their global operations. This is another step in the continued expansion of our footprint in Europe, and it aligns with our strategy of deepening relationships with large multinational customers operating global fleets.”

Michal Padusinsky, Director Supply Chain Czechia, Germany & Poland at Cemex, said, “Driver safety is a critical component of our operational excellence. Having seen the value of SaverOne’s solution in our truck fleets elsewhere in Europe and across our cars in Germany, extending it to our German trucks is a natural next step in reducing distraction-related risks and strengthening safety standards throughout our operations.”

Featuring Low 0.88 mm Profile and Wettable Flanks, 200 V, 400 V, and 600 V Devices Provide Improved Thermal Performance and Forward Surge Capability

MALVERN, Pa., Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced four new series of surface-mount standard rectifiers that are the industry’s first such devices in the low profile DFN6546A package with wettable flanks. Providing space-saving solutions for power line polarity protection and rail to rail protection in commercial, industrial, and automotive applications, the 5 A SE50N6x, 8 A SE80N6x, 10 A SE100N6x, and 12 A SE120N6x are each available with reverse voltages of 200 V, 400 V, and 600 V, and are offered in AEC-Q101 qualified versions.

The latest package in Vishay’s new Power DFN family, the DFN6546A features a compact 6.5 mm by 4.6 mm footprint and an extremely low typical height of 0.88 mm, allowing the Vishay General Semiconductor rectifiers released today to make more efficient use of PCB space. At the same time, the devices’ advanced construction and die placement technology allow for a higher copper content and larger chip sizes, resulting in improved thermal performance, higher current ratings, and forward surge current capability. Compared to solutions in the SMPC (TO-277A) package with the same footprint, the SE50N6x, SE80N6x, SE100N6x, and SE120N6x deliver a 10 % lower profile, 20 % higher current ratings, and 82 % higher forward surge capability.

Featuring an oxide planar chip junction design, the rectifiers offer typical reverse leakage current less than 0.1 μA, while their low forward voltage drops down to 0.77 V reduces power losses to improve efficiency. The devices operate over a wide temperature range from -55 °C to +175 °C, and provide ESD capability in compliance with IEC 61000-4-2, air discharge mode. The wettable flanks of their DFN6546A package allow for automatic optical inspection (AOI), eliminating the need for an X-ray inspection. Ideal for automated placement, the rectifiers offer an MSL moisture sensitivity level of 1, per J-STD-020, LF maximum peak of 260 °C. The devices are RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.

Leading Collision Repairers, G&C Auto Body and VIVE Collision Extend Use of OEM Build Sheet Data from CCC

CHICAGO, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CCC Intelligent Solutions Inc. (CCC), a leading SaaS and AI platform provider powering the insurance economy, today announced strong momentum for its CCC^® Build Sheets solution, with growing adoption across its collision repair network and recent renewals from multi-store operators including G&C Auto Body and VIVE Collision.

Launched to help repairers make more informed decisions and work more efficiently, CCC^® Build Sheets integrates VIN-specific vehicle data, such as manufacturer-installed options, trim packages, paint codes, and parts information, directly into the CCC ONE^® platform. By automatically surfacing vehicle-specific information during estimating and repair planning, the solution helps reduce manual research, minimize errors, accelerate parts ordering decisions, and support more complete estimates from the start.

“In collision repair, access to vehicle-specific repair data at the start of the estimate drives everything that follows,” said Mark Fincher, vice president of product management for CCC. “With CCC Build Sheets, we’re helping repairers access the right information upfront so they can reduce rework, improve repair planning, and deliver more consistent outcomes for customers.”

As repairers face increasing vehicle complexity and pressure to improve efficiency, adoption of CCC Build Sheets continues to grow across CCC’s collision repair network. Recent renewals from multi-store operators including G&C Auto Body and VIVE Collision reflect continued demand for solutions that help repairers improve estimate accuracy, streamline workflows, and drive more consistent performance across locations.

At G&C Auto Body, a 64-location collision repair operator serving Northern California, implementation of CCC Build Sheets has contributed to measurable improvements in estimating and supplement performance.

“One of the biggest challenges in collision repair is getting the estimate right the first time,” said Josh Crozat, process improvement officer for G&C Auto Body. “With CCC Build Sheets, our teams have better visibility into the vehicle upfront, including what was installed and which parts are needed, helping us reduce supplements and keep repairs moving. That translates directly into better outcomes for our business and a smoother experience for our customers.”

VIVE Collision, an 80-location collision repair operator serving the Northeast, recently renewed its use of CCC Build Sheets as part of its ongoing effort to improve operational consistency and efficiency across its growing repair network.

“Having access to vehicle-specific information early in the repair process helps our teams make better decisions from the start,” said John Jerian, vice president of central operations at VIVE Collision. “CCC Build Sheets has helped us improve estimate accuracy, reduce the need for supplements, and move vehicles through the repair process on average three days faster than before we used the CCC solution. As we’ve continued to scale our operations, it’s become an important tool for driving consistency across our locations and delivering a better experience for both our teammates and customers.”

CCC Build Sheets leverages OEM and third-party data sources to give repairers a clearer view of the vehicle being repaired, helping standardize processes, reduce variability, and improve outcomes across locations.

“The industry doesn’t need more steps, it needs better information earlier,” added Fincher. “That’s what we’re focused on with CCC Build Sheets, helping repairers simplify the repair process while improving consistency and efficiency across their operations.”

CCC Build Sheets is available to CCC ONE users through cccis.com/marketplace.

ProVen VCT plc
ProVen Growth and Income VCT plc
Merger Discussions
15 September 2026

The boards of directors of ProVen VCT plc (“ProVen”) and ProVen Growth and Income plc (“PGI” and together with ProVen, the “VCTs“) announce that they have entered into discussions regarding a possible merger (the “Merger“), which discussions may or may not lead to an agreement to merge the VCTs. The purpose of the Merger would be to achieve simplicity, cost savings, administrative efficiency and scale.

If the Merger proceeds, it would be undertaken by way of a scheme of reconstruction under s.110 of the Insolvency Act 1986 and not under the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers. This would involve the assets and liabilities of PGI, the smaller of the VCTs, being transferred to ProVen in consideration for which shareholders in PGI would receive new shares in ProVen, such number of shares based on the relative net asset value of each VCT. If the Merger proceeds it would require the consent of shareholders in both VCTs.

As announced on 29 April 2026, the current offer for subscription for each of the VCTs will close on 30 September 2026 at 1pm BST (or such earlier date as the respective offer is fully subscribed or as otherwise approved by the Boards). If the Merger proceeds, ProVen intends to launch a new offer for subscription in respect of the 2026-27 and 2027-28 tax years later this year.  

A further announcement will be made in due course.

The information contained within this announcement is deemed by the VCTs to constitute inside information as stipulated under the UK version of the Market Abuse Regulations (EU number. 596/2014). Upon the publication of this announcement through a Regulatory Information Service, this inside information is now considered to be in the public domain.
