Viking Mines' Linka Project: Stunning Tungsten Results

0:00On March 3rd, here's the latest out of Sydney. Viking Mines has launched metallurgical testing at its Linka tungsten project in Nevada, and the early results are standout. They use basic gravity separation on a sample grading 1.4% tungsten trioxide, producing a concentrate at 22.9%. That's a 16-fold upgrade with 63.7% recovery at the course's grind size of 200 microns. This simple process relies on the density of she light, the main tungsten mineral there, to separate it from waste rock. The site's mineralogy helps, too, with mostly garnet as waste and little calcite to complicate things, making it ideal for low-cost processing without fancy chemicals. Viking's managing director Julian Woodcock called the outcome fantastic, especially since it's the cheapest method around. He noted it opens doors for modular plants that cut up front costs and speed up development. The team is now fast-tracking more tests, like flotation to recover fine ski light particles,

Meanwhile, Viking is pushing ahead with a three-dimensional geological model, drill targets for the June quarter, and federal permits. Linka sits in a proven Nevada tungsten district with historic output, and tungsten's hot right now as a critical mineral with prices near all time, highs around $1,850 per metric ton unit.
