Viking Mines hits the spot with gold resource

In this interview with Julian Woodcock, Managing Director of Viking Mines (ASX:VKA), we discuss the company’s busy start to 2025 with an updated resource estimate for the First Hit gold mine in Western Australia. With gold grades of 7 grams per tonne and exciting exploration plans, Viking Mines is poised for growth.

Key highlights:

1️⃣ Resource update: Viking Mines reports a 7g/t gold grade and a remaining 19,000 ounces of gold at the First Hit mine.

2️⃣ Low-hanging fruit: Potential to extract nearby mineralisation with the dewatering of the mine and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure.

3️⃣ Greenfields exploration: Viking Mines targets 25km of untested geological ground with high gold potential, adjacent to major mining camps.
