Viking Mines is preparing to drill its historic Linka tungsten project in the United States for the first time in about 40 years. Multiple outlets report that the company is mobilising a drill rig to the site as it seeks to expand knowledge of the deposit and assess potential for further mineralisation.
The reported drilling programme targets high-grade extensions at Linka, with the company aiming to define additional zones beyond historically known material. Viking Mines also plans to produce its first resource estimate for the project, described by the sources as a maiden resource.
While the outlets do not detail the full technical plan, they consistently describe the effort as a significant restart after a long period without drilling activity. The reporting frames the move as a key next step in advancing the US tungsten opportunity, following the project’s long dormancy and Viking’s stated focus on extending high-grade mineralisation and quantifying it through an initial resource. The sources agree on the timing, project name and location, and the stated objectives of the drilling.
