Summary
Viking Mines Limited reported successful assay results from X-ray Transmission (XRT) ore sorting testwork at their Linka Tungsten Project in Nevada, USA. The testwork, conducted by TOMRA, verified the separation of mineralized feed into high-grade and low-grade product streams. The high-grade product streams from the Conquest Pit and Linka Stockpile samples showed significant tungsten trioxide (WO3) content, up to 4.2 times the feed grade. These results demonstrate the potential for ore sorting to enhance the economic viability of existing surface stockpiles by upgrading lower-grade material. Future steps include additional gravity and flotation testwork at Base Met Labs and incorporating ore sorting into the project's conceptual processing flowsheet.
Key Points
  • Viking Mines Limited reports assay results from ore sorting testwork.
  • XRT technology confirmed separation into high and low-grade streams.
  • High-grade products showed significant WO3 content improvements.
  • Results indicate potential for upgrading surface stockpiles.
  • Further testwork and process flow integration are planned.
