Proven Production Scale1
• Historical processing : Treated 65kt of ore through an
on-site 360tpd mill (operational until 1956)2
• Three historical mines: Linka, Conquest & Hillside
occurring over ~820m of strike length, remain open to the
NE and SW, with extensions untested below shallow
cover
Tier-1 Infrastructure Advantages
• Power: 230kV powerline runs 4.5km west of the pit,
offering potential grid connection
• Water: Accessible groundwater table (~60m depth) for
future processing needs
• Logistics: Located just 7km from Highway 50 with
excellent road access to service hubs

Exceptional Grade Profile1
• Historic mining targeted high-grade zones, with
stopes recorded up to 3.0% WO₃
• Underground intercepts include 6.1m @ 1.50%
WO₃ and 0.9m @ 2.40% WO₃
Ideal Mining Geometry
• Steeply dipping historical orebody up to 12m
wide, suited for low-cost Long Hole Open Stoping
methods
Immediate Depth Potential
• Main shaft already sunk to 90m, yet mining only
reached the 45m level before closure
• Historical orebody remains open at depth below
underground workings
• Mineralised trend goes undercover along strike to
the NE & SW

Building a District: Near-Mine Satellites
Alpine Project2
Unfinished Business: Historic mining focussed on
high-grade (>0.5%), leaving unmined mineralisation
behind
Growth Target: Historical exploration target of ~90kt
@ 0.4% WO₃, untested to granodiorite contact
Victory Project2
Proven Grade: Historic production1 of 93kt @ 1.0%
WO₃
Strategic Positioning: Directly adjoins the third-
party "Victory Mine," which is currently the subject
of a restart study - validating the local geology
Upside: 8 unpatented claims with no modern
exploration outside the main workings

Regional Pipeline: High-Grade Discovery Targets
Ragged Top Project
Exceptional Grade: Historic production1 grades of 1.0% WO₃
from surface skarns
Geology: Tungsten-bearing "roof pendants" up to 50ft wide;
extensive strike length never tested at depth
Long Project
Open Mineralisation: ~200m exposed contact zone with
reported grades up to 1.0% WO₃
Undrilled: Zero drilling identified to date; mineralisation remains
open at depth
Terrell Project
Coarse Potential: Noted for coarse-grained scheelite crystals
(up to 7cm), indicating potential for high-grades and low
beneficiation requirements

Photo of grab samples collected from the Linka Project (Linka Mine 514065E, 4353242N) shown in visible and UV light. Dominant
fluorescent mineral (white/blue colour) is interpreted to be scheelite. Visual estimate of abundance ~1.0 to 2.5% scheelite (0.8% to
1.8% WO3). Assay required to confirm WO3 content with results expected in Q1 2026.
Cautionary Statement: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory
analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no
information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.

and commence permitting to test depth
extensions at Linka and the granodiorite contact
at Alpine
Phase 2
Resource Definition
Maiden Drill Program: Testing
high-grade extensions at Linka,
confirming unmined zones at
Alpine and initial drilling at
Ragged Top
Met Results: Confirming
recovery rates to validate the
process flow sheet
Phase 3
Development & Expansion
JORC Resource: Delivery of maiden
Mineral Resource Estimate
DoW Engagement: Submission of
grant applications for US Defence
funding (Defence Production Act)

Additional Information
The information in this announcement was prepared by the former owners of the mineral claims, US Department of the Interior, US Geological Survey and other government and state agencies. The data were originally provided by the vendors
of the Projects and subsequently verified by Viking mines as part of the ongoing due diligence. Interested readers can access the information at the links set out in the Reference Notes below. The information has not been updated since to
comply with the JORC Code 2012 other than the information as reported in Table 1 below. As stated above, it is possible that following evaluation and/or further exploration work the confidence in the Exploration Results may be reduced
when reported under and in accordance with the JORC Code 2012.
JORC Table 1 which is contained in Appendix 3 sets out the available information relating to work programs for the Exploration Results as obtained from the historical reports, which includes the Company’s view on the reliability of the
previously reported Exploration Results.
Viking advises that the information pertaining to the Exploration Results is an accurate representation of publicly available information for the acquired projects at the time of acquisition however cautions that investors should note that the
Exploration Results cannot currently be reported under the JORC Code 2012.
Viking advises that there are no more recent results or data relevant to the Exploration Results available to the Company at this time. However, Viking continues to review the available data and is making efforts to establish in any additional
information is available. The legal requirements in the USA do not require holders of mineral claims to lodge information with any federal or state government. As such publicly available information is limited and private sources of information
need to be established (if available) i.e. from companies which have previously owned the mineral claims.
The proposed future work programs on the mineral claims and time frames for completion are set out in the announcement under the heading “Strategic Development Plan & Next Steps” and under Table 1 section 2 “Further Work”.
