Viking Mines (ASX:VKA) reports that combined gravity and cleaner flotation circuit testwork at the Linka Tungsten Project in Nevada has delivered 56.9% tungsten trioxide concentrate grade at 76% recovery.

The increased recovery rate shows an improvement from the 59.8% recovery rate previously reported, representing a 1.27x uplift. It also exceeds the company’s target of over 70% recovery for grades above 50%.

Ongoing testwork focused on optimising the flotation stage, using a 10kg sample from the Linka Pit built on previous gravity and flotation results.

New optimisation testwork improved rougher and cleaner flotation circuit performance, resulting in the improved recovery rate as well as maintaining a ‘premium’ concentrate grade.
