Viking Mines Launches High-Resolution Geophysics at Nevada Tungsten Project

Viking Mines Limited ( (AU:VKA) ) has shared an announcement.

Viking Mines has launched a high-resolution ground gravity and magnetic geophysics program at its Linka Tungsten Project in Nevada, designed to map the subsurface extent of a high-grade tungsten skarn system and define new drill targets concealed beneath shallow volcanic cover. By targeting density and magnetic contrasts between skarn mineralisation and surrounding host rocks, the company aims to build a 3D geological model of the key contact between intrusive monzonite and sedimentary units, which controls tungsten mineralisation.

The initial 0.5km² gravity survey and 2.2km² magnetic survey will test whether high-grade mineralised tactite zones can be directly identified, potentially allowing precise targeting of untested areas along the mineralised corridor, including under the Bates Mountain Tuff. If successful, Viking plans to expand these methods across its broader claim package to de-risk regional exploration, with survey results expected by late February, interpretation by mid-March, and a tightly focused drilling campaign targeted for April that could accelerate the project’s path toward discovery and enhance stakeholder value.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VKA) stock is a Hold with a A$0.01 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Viking Mines Limited stock, see the AU:VKA Stock Forecast page.
