Viking Mines (ASX:VKA) has expanded its landholding in Nevada, USA, increasing its total footprint to approximately 20km2 and securing highly prospective areas across its Linka, Ragged Top, Long, and Terrell projects.
At the Linka Project, additional claims target the contact zones of a prominent regional magnetic high, interpreted to be associated with the source of tungsten mineralisation.
The Ragged Top Project now includes claims covering historical workings located 1.9km northeast of the main mine, while the Long and Terrell projects have been extended along the interpreted strike of known mineralisation, enhancing regional exploration optionality.
Viking Mines is progressing toward a "notice of intent" submission to federal agencies to secure drilling permits across the expanded portfolio.
Managing Director and CEO Julian Woodcock said the acquisitions provide "the necessary room to grow" and position the company to systematically explore and develop Nevada’s high-grade tungsten systems.
At the time of reporting, Viking Mines' share price was $0.0090.
