Viking Mines found high-grade tungsten in Nevada, boosting plans for rapid development amid rising global prices and U.S. supply rules.

Viking Mines has advanced its Nevada Linka tungsten project by digitizing 70 historical drill holes, revealing high-grade mineralization at the Conquest area, including 12.2 meters at 1.3% tungsten trioxide and a 1.5-meter segment at 4.8%. The data confirm untested potential down-dip and along strike, particularly beneath the historic pit and near a key limestone contact. With global tungsten prices up nearly 500% and U.S. rules limiting foreign supply by 2026, Viking plans a June-quarter reverse circulation drill program and a 3D model to assess a 1.6-kilometer mineralized zone, aiming to fast-track the project toward production.
