Viking Mines says it has demonstrated successful sensor-based ore sorting at its Linka tungsten project in Nevada. According to reporting across multiple outlets, the tests show the system can upgrade the quality of tungsten-bearing material by rejecting barren waste rock. The company describes the approach as using sensors to identify ore versus lower-grade material, improving the tungsten feed stream before it moves further along in processing. The coverage is consistent in stating that the work targets tungsten at Linka, where the goal is to better separate valuable ore from non-ore during handling. While outlets emphasize the success of the ore-sorting trial, they do not provide detailed performance metrics in the supplied summaries, such as percentage upgrades, recovery rates, or specific throughput figures. Overall, the reporting agrees that Viking Mines has achieved a positive result from ore sorting designed to increase the grade of material entering processing and reduce the amount of waste rock sent forward.
