Show Notes
Viking Mines achieves a significant milestone at their Linka tungsten project in Nevada, employing a straightforward gravity separation method to produce high-grade scheelite concentrate. This simple technique, which doesnt require expensive chemicals or plants, results in a 63.6% tungsten trioxide concentrate with a 42.4% recovery rate. The company plans to blend middlings to further boost recovery and grade. Vikings CEO, Julian Woodcock, highlights the methods potential to reduce capital costs and accelerate cash flow. The project is located in a classic skarn system, part of their larger Nevada holdings, with a history of 123,000 tonnes of ore at 0.54% tungsten. Viking also tested flotation on the gravity leftovers, showing promise for additional tungsten recovery. With market timing favorable due to soaring tungsten prices and strategic interest from the US Defense Department, Viking is poised to gain momentum in the critical minerals sector.
