Viking Mines Ltd (ASX: VKA) (“Viking” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed a strategic acquisition of a comprehensive historical technical dataset covering the Linka Project in Nevada, USA. The dataset was purchased for US$35,000 (~A$50,000) and contains extensive records that is estimated to cost in excess of A$1.0 million to replicate at current market rates. The acquired data includes high-quality scans of cross-sections and maps from the late 1970s. This information is critical for understanding the location of high-grade zones of the Linka tungsten system without the need to "re-discover" known mineralisation. Commenting on the historical data acquisition, Viking Mines MD & CEO Julian Woodcock said: “Sourcing this extensive dataset substantially shortcuts the time required to advance the Linka Project, reduces the capital outlay required and reduces the exploration risk. “We are extremely fortunate to have been able to source this information and have commenced with converting the information into digital format to bring into 3D geological modelling software. “Upon completion of the airborne survey at the Project we will have the necessary ground features to accurately georeference the historical maps and sections to allow us to extract the drillhole collar information and build a drillhole database. “I look forward to interrogating the data and releasing to market as we complete the digitisation process.” ASX:VKA | vikingmines.com 2 Figure 1; Example of historical data acquired - outcrop geology map showing locations of drillholes and cross sections.

Figure 2 ASX:VKA | vikingmines.com 3 STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES This dataset provides Viking with a high-resolution technical framework of the Linka Project area: • Target Precision: Identifies specific high-grade intersections to design "twin-hole" drilling programs, which are essential for data validation for potential future use in resource modelling. • Regional Upside: Trenching and surface sampling data reveals locations of tactite (skarn) mineralisation along strike, identifying drill targets outside the historical mine areas. • Infrastructure Insights: Detailed underground maps of the Conquest and Linka mines aid in building a precise 3D model of the mineralised system. • Stockpile Confirmation: Maps verify the locations of surface stockpiles identified during recent site visits, potentially offering early processing feed. ONGOING WORK & NEXT STEPS The Company is currently integrating this information into its digital exploration database with the following steps underway: • Georeferencing: Aligning historical maps with the coordinate systems in GIS using high resolution airborne survey data currently being collected. • Digitisation: Converting the scanned paper logs and sections into a 3D digital environment to commence construction of the geological model. • Permitting: Once 3D modelling is complete, the data will be used to finalize drill targets for a Notice of Intent (NOI) submission to Federal Agencies. Viking expects to release the digitised data in three tranches covering Linka, followed by Hillside and Conquest in the coming weeks.
