Our US tungsten Investment Viking Mines (ASX: VKA | OTC: VKALF) just received its first batch of ore sorting results from the Linka Tungsten Project in Nevada, USA.

This one is super technical - but for tungsten projects it could be a pretty material outcome depending on the final assay results for the testwork (which is expected in the 2nd half of July).

At a very high level VKA applied modern processing to the material from its project, using X-rays to sort the material into three different categories and then eventually letting go of the “waste material”.

The purpose being to pre-concentrate its material and reject the waste rock BEFORE being put into its processing plant.

And ultimately, lower waste = more tungsten produced at lower cost.
