Summary
Viking Mines Limited has announced a successful ore sorting test at its Linka Tungsten Project in Nevada, USA. The test, conducted by TOMRA, utilized X-ray Transmission (XRT) technology to sort ore from the Conquest Pit and Linka Stockpile samples into product and waste streams. The results demonstrated a significant separation of mineralized material with 67.8% and 56.1% of the sample mass directed to product streams, respectively. The test utilized TOMRA's CONTAIN™ software in a three-stage sorting process, highlighting potential value in pre-concentrating run-of-mine feed and upgrading existing stockpiles. Assay results are pending and expected in July 2026, which will provide further insights into the grade and recovery performance. The company plans to integrate these findings into its processing model and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of implementing ore sorting at the Linka Project.
