Our US tungsten Investment Viking Mines (ASX: VKA | OTC: VKALF) just received assay results from the tailings dam at its Tungsten Project in Nevada, USA.

VKA's project produced tungsten between 1941 and 1956.

The project ran a 360 tonne per day mill in 1955-56, and mining stopped when the US government suspended its tungsten buying program. (source)

Today, VKA reported assays for all 52 samples taken across the old tailings dam with a thickness weighted average of just 0.03% tungsten and a maximum of 0.15% tungsten.

VKA’s key takeaway - there is minimal tungsten left in the tailings which is a good indication previous mining runs and processing programs were able to effectively recover the tungsten from the project with minimal waste.
