Viking Mines (ASX:VKA) has completed due diligence across its range of tungsten projects in Nevada, as a part of its acquisition of six projects from US-based BLK Group.
CEO Julian Woodcock says the completion of due diligence work across the Nevada portfolio is a “major milestone” for the company.
“Our review has validated the historical data and identified clear pathways for resource definition across the project,” Woodcock says.
“We have now moved into the formal acquisition phase with a high degree of confidence.
“With geophysics and 3D modelling underway, with the acquisition of historic drill data at Linka, we are bypassing early exploration and moving straight into high-impact targeting.”
Under the due diligence period, Viking conducted a field visit and detailed technical review across the six assets, which the company began in late 2025.
Viking says the portfolio confirms ‘high-grade’ tungsten mineralisation, confirming the “strategic potential” of the assets.
Due diligence identified strike potential with historical sampling southwest of the Linka (Main) Pit returning 0.6% tungsten trioxide, as well as intercepts of 7.9m @ 0.9% tungsten trioxide below historical workings at the pit.
Viking is currently focused on integrating geophysical work to map intrusive contacts, building a 3D geological model, and finalising drillholes for 2026 exploration.
As reported by Mining.com.au, Viking entered a binding term sheet for the portfolio in December 2025, comprising the Linka, Alpine, Long, Terrell, Ragged, and Victory projects.
Viking Mines is an exploration and development company, currently focused on developing its tungsten acquisitions in Nevada, US.
