Viking Mines reports assay results showing high-grade tungsten trioxide in historical waste stockpiles at its Linka project in Nevada, United States. The company says sampling of the legacy dumps has returned tungsten trioxide grades of up to 1.8%, indicating potential for recovery from existing material rather than only new mining. All outlets describe the results as coming from historical waste stockpiles associated with the project, and note that the findings relate to tungsten, a metal that has been classified as critical. The articles state that tungsten is designated a critical metal, reflecting its strategic importance in industries and supply chains. The reporting is focused on the sampling outcomes and the project’s potential value based on those grades. None of the sources provide additional details such as the size of the stockpiles, the number of samples taken, or next steps for feasibility studies. The information is presented as an initial result from the company’s work on assessing what can be recovered from the existing waste material.
