Viking Mines' Gravity Separation Triumph in Nevada

0:00It's March 31st. Welcome in. This is Sydney News Today, where local news meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. Viking mines just hit a big win at their Lincoln-Tunston project in Nevada, pulling off a top shelf she-like concentrate with basic gravity, separation. Starting from a feed of 1.2% Tunston trioxide, they jumped it to 63.6% in one pass, with 42.4% recovery, no fancy chemicals or big plants needed, keeping costs super low. This simple method fits perfect for Tunston's heavy hitters, like cutting tools, defense gear, aerospace, and electronics. It's all about that high melting point, making a clutch. Blending in the middleing stream bumps recovery higher, while hitting 56.4% grade, still prime for buyers. Viking CEO Julian Woodcock says this gravity flow cuts capital costs big time, and speeds them toward building in cash flow, right in Nevada's hot. Tunston's own, the sights in a classic scarring system,

1:02seven kilometers south of Highway 50, part of their bigger Nevada holdings with the history of 100. 23,000 tons of ore at 0.54%. They also tested filtration on the gravity leftovers, grabbing extra Tunston, and combine results look strong. Cleaner tests are rolling now to make that sellable too, with more optimization coming. Market timing spot on as Tunston prices hit records amid supply crunches from global conflicts. The U.S. Defense Department eyes it as strategic, and with studies permitting and drilling ahead, Vikings lining up momentum in this critical minerals game.
