Viking Mines says it has advanced metallurgical work for its Nevada tungsten project after producing a “premium” tungsten concentrate in testing. The company reports that the concentrate contains 62.5% tungsten, based on metallurgical testwork carried out on material from the project. Viking also reports a 59.8% recovery rate, describing how much of the tungsten in the feed material is captured in the concentrate during processing.
The results are presented as a step in de-risking the project, focusing on the quality and performance of the concentrate produced under laboratory or pilot-scale conditions. Across the outlets, the figures cited are the same: 62.5% tungsten grade for the concentrate and 59.8% recovery. The reports do not provide additional details on processing steps, operating conditions, or the broader project timeline, but they consistently frame the metallurgy outcome as an improvement in technical understanding for the Nevada deposit.
