Viking Mines starts Linka tungsten tailings, stockpile evaluation in Nevada

• Viking Mines started fieldwork at Linka Tungsten Project in Nevada to quantify historical ore stockpiles and tailings for potential near-term, low-capex processing.
• Sampling program targets about 52 tailings-dam samples to estimate WO3 grade, thickness, volume, then assess economics of reprocessing as supplemental feed for a modular plant.
• Work also includes stockpile sampling to confirm grade consistency following prior 0.8% WO3 composite result, with tonnage estimate to support early processing options such as toll treatment.
• Metallurgical program expanded with comminution testwork to define energy use and operating costs for a processing concept study, following earlier testwork that produced 63.6% WO3 concentrate from primary mineralization.
• Phase 2 fieldwork scheduled for late April to finalize layouts for maiden drilling planned for June quarter, with APT tungsten price cited at US$3,185/mtu.
