Viking Mines says it has received federal approval in the United States to carry out an initial drilling program at its Linka tungsten project in Nevada. According to multiple Australian outlets, the approved program involves 63 holes, described as a “maiden” drilling blitz, aimed at advancing exploration at the historic project site. The reports characterise Linka as a longstanding tungsten prospect in Nevada and state that the US clearance enables the company to proceed with the planned drilling campaign.
The coverage is consistent that the approval is federal and relates specifically to the scope of the proposed drilling work, rather than a broader project development decision. None of the articles provide additional technical details such as expected drilling depth, timelines, or reported results from any prior drilling, beyond identifying the number of holes and the target as tungsten at Linka. Overall, the reports focus on the approval milestone that permits the next phase of exploration activity under the company’s planned initial drilling program.
