Viking Mines Limited (ASX: VKA, OTCID: VKALF) (“Viking” or “the Company”) is pleased to report the first assay results from its maiden reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling programme at the Linka Tungsten Project in Nevada, USA. LKRC0002, the first hole drilled into the historic Linka Mine area, has returned 14m at 0.56% WO3 (Figure 1) from 40m downhole (estimated 9m true width), confirming tungsten mineralisation directly beneath the historic workings. Figure 1; Chip tray from LKRC0002 showing 14m at 0.56% WO3 and individual 1m assays through the mineralised zone in both shortwave UV (bottom) and natural light (top). 2 ASX:VKA | OTC:VKALF | vikingmines.com Viking Mines Managing Director & CEO Julian Woodcock said: “This is exactly the result we were targeting at Linka. Our first hole into the mine area has returned an excellent 14m at 0.56% WO3 from just 40m downhole, including 5m at 0.81% WO3, yielding grades and widths consistent with those produced by mining through the 1950’s.” “Mineralisation continues below the workings, exactly where our 3D geological model predicted it. Just as importantly, the assays have landed within the range of our visual scheelite estimates, which gives us confidence in the shortwave UV logging calls being made at the rig as the programme advances.” “Additional samples are in the laboratory queue and the rig continues to turn. Every metre of confirmed mineralisation continues to advance Linka on our pathway towards tungsten production in the USA.” Shareholders are encouraged to view a short video interview (here), with Managing Director Julian Woodcock, in which he discusses the Linka drill results and what they mean for the next phase of work at Linka. ASSAY RESULTS Assay results have been received from ALS Laboratories in Reno, Nevada for LKRC0002, the first hole of the maiden drilling programme to test within the historic Linka Mine area. The hole was designed to validate historic drilling, verify historic grades and widths, and to test the continuity of mineralisation beneath the historic 150ft level workings.

The intercept confirms that mineralisation continues below the mined void and extends down dip. Assay results for LKRC0003 and subsequent holes in the programme are pending with results from the second batch of samples expected around mid-late September. DRILLING PROGRAMME UPDATE As of 9 September, 16 holes have been drilled at the Linka Project, with 13 holes completed around the Linka (Main) pit and workings, 2 regional exploratory holes and 1 hole at the southwest extension. Linka (Main) Pit Drilling around the Linka (main) Pit continues to intersect mineralisation with multiple zones of skarn and tactite encountered (Figure 3). Logging of the zones continues, and the Company will provide a detailed update of visual scheelite intercepts seen once logging and photographing is complete. Initial logging has identified multiple thick and prospective zones and are undergoing verification by Company geologists using shortwave UV light to identify scheelite bearing zones. An update will be provided once this work is complete. Southwest Extension Drilling initially commenced at the southwest extension and to date has not yet intersected the target limestone/monzonite contact. LKRC0001 had to be abandoned at ~36m prior to reaching the target depth (120m) due to unexpected cover sequence ground conditions limiting the ability to continue the hole. The Company prioritised moving to the Linka (Main) Pit and will return to the highly prospective southwest extensions later in the programme. Regional Exploration The regional exploratory holes have encountered some early success with hole LKRC0013 (Figure 4) located 0.35km west of the Linka Main shaft. Younger cover (Bates Mountain Tuff) was encountered from surface to 16.8m depth which then transitioned into limestone (to a depth of 21.3m) and then into the monzonite intrusive. 4 ASX:VKA | OTC:VKALF | vikingmines.com This is a significant result early in the programme as the drillhole demonstrates that limestone is preserved above the intrusion, providing significant opportunity for the discovery of additional scheelite mineralisation across the broader intrusive. Prior to drilling, the interpretation anticipated drilling directly into the monzonite intrusion below the younger tuff. This hole has now confirmed that there is a greater extent of limestone in the area than previously thought, raising the potential for new discovery.

Mineralisation occurs as scheelite-bearing skarn developed in limestone along the contact with granitic intrusive rocks. The mines produced approximately 65,000 tonnes at 0.5% WO₃ through a 360 tonne-per-day mill up to 1956, when operations ceased in response to the prevailing tungsten price rather than for geological reasons. Linka's historical mill grade of approximately 0.5% WO₃ ranks among the highest of comparable global tungsten projects. In December 2025 Viking signed a binding term sheet to acquire a 100% interest in the Project and is pursuing a brownfields restart strategy that builds on substantial existing infrastructure, including a 150ft (~46m) shaft, historic pits and underground workings, an on-site ROM pad and historical tailings dam, and approximately 8.5km² of consolidated mining claims, with sealed highway within 7km and grid power within 4km. Digitisation of 72 historical drillholes (2,908m) has extended the known mineralised trend to 1.6km within an interpreted ~7km regional intrusive contact that remains largely untested. Surface sampling has returned grades up to 14.7% WO₃, and recent metallurgical testwork has produced a 56.9% WO₃ concentrate at 76.0% recovery using conventional gravity and flotation. With tungsten designated a critical mineral and US defence procurement restrictions affecting tungsten sourced from covered countries taking effect from 1 January 2027, the Project is positioned to advance evaluation of a potential domestic restart. 8 ASX:VKA | OTC:VKALF | vikingmines.com APPENDIX 1 – DRILLHOLE INFORMATION & ASSAY RESULTS . 9 ASX:VKA | OTC:VKALF | vikingmines.com APPENDIX 2 – JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 JORC Table 1, Section 1 – Sampling Techniques and Data Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. RC chip samples are collected at the drill rig during the drilling process. The full drilling interval is collected from the sampling system on the drill rig into plastic bags. The sample is sieved to collect a portion of chips for geological logging. The chips are subsequently lamped using a shortwave UV light (254nm) to assess visually scheelite content. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. For each sample interval, RC sample recovery is monitored for excessive sample loss and recorded to ensure sample representivity. Sample condition (dry/moist/wet) is also recorded to ascertain sample quality. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information RC drilling is used to obtain either 1m, 2.5ft (0.76m) or 5ft (1.52m) sample intervals depending on the drilling rig being used and tooling available (metric vs imperial length drill rods). The full sample is retained from the drill rig sampling system into plastic bags.Dry samplesare processed through a 3-tier riffle splitter to representatively reduce the sample mass to obtain a sub-sample (12.5% of original sample mass) for laboratory analysis. For hole LKRC0002 a different sampling system was used with a rig mounted riffle splitter. The company determined the system was not suitable for the wet sample which was being produced and to mitigate any errors, both the split and the remaining sample were collected into plastic bags. The full split was collected and sent for analysis along with a duplicate sample from the reject bag. More details are provided below on the QAQC procedures adopted for this hole. The geologist at the rig determines the sample intervals to be selected for analysis using indicators such as geological logging and utilising a shortwave UV light to determine presence of scheelite. General procedure is to sample approximately 5m above and below the suspected mineralised intervals. Samples selected for analysis are delivered to ALS laboratory in Reno, Nevada and are prepared using lab method PREP-31BY which involves drying and subsequent crushing to 70% less than 2mm. Where samples are >1kg, a 1kg subsample is collected using a rotary splitter. The 1kg (or less) sample is then pulverised to better than 85% passing 75 microns. The pulverised samples are analysed using lab method ME-MS89L is used which is considered total using a lithium meta-borate fusion and ICP-MS finish. Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). Reverse circulation (RC) drilling using a face-sampling hammer is utilised. For hole LKRC0001 to LKRC0006 a 5.25-inch diameter bit was utilised. For holes LKRC0007 onwards, a 4.5-inch diameter bit has been utilised. Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. RC drilling recoveries are visually estimated and recorded as part of geological logging and sampling process and is estimated as either Good, Fair, Poor or No sample. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. RC drilling sample recovery is monitored to ensure representivity of the samples. High pressure air compressors with auxiliary boosters and compressors are used to maximise sample recovery from the drillhole. Drilling equipment and procedures are suitable to maximise sample recovery and the 10 ASX:VKA | OTC:VKALF | vikingmines.com Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary representative nature of the samples. Sample weights are recorded by the laboratory and reviewed to ensure consistent sample weights are produced. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. RC drilling uses industry standard drilling equipment and procedures that are suitable to maximise sample recovery and ensure the representative nature of the samples. Insufficient data has been collected to establish if any bias is present due to loss/gain of fine/coarse material. Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Geological logging of all RC drill cuttings is undertaken. No geotechnical logging has been undertaken. Logging of RC chips is sufficient to support future studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. Geological logging of RC chips is qualitative in nature. Quantitative estimates (visual percentage estimates) are undertaken for abundance of key minerals (including scheelite). Photographs are taken of all RC chip trays under natural and shortwave UV (254nm) light to identify fluorescent minerals. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. 100% of RC drilling is logged. Subsampling techniques and sample preparation If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. Not applicable. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. Splitting of dry samples produced by the drill rig is undertaken using a 3 tier riffle splitter to obtain a 12.5% split, with the full sample from the drilling interval (1m, 2.5ft or 5ft) put through the riffle splitter. For wet samples produced by the drill rig for hole LKRC0002, the whole sample is collected from the rig mounted riffle splitter and submitted to the laboratory for analysis. For duplicate wet samples, a scoop is collected from the reject sample bag. At the laboratory, samples are dried and those <1kg are not split prior to pulverising. If samples are >1kg they are crushed and rotary split at the laboratory to <1kg before being pulverised For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. For dry samples, the sample preparation and sub-sampling techniques are appropriate for this material’s mineralogical makeup. For wet samples, the sampling method is not industry best practice and the company mitigates the risk by increasing the volume of duplicate sampling to determine the effects. In all cases, the primary commodity being assessed is measured in % which reduces the risk and impacts of variability in the sampling method due to the relatively high concentrations of the commodity. Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Standard laboratory procedures adopted for analysis of samples including laboratory duplicate sample analysis and standards. Duplicate sampling has been applied to the RC drill programme (see details below) to measure repeatability of samples. Standards (1:40 samples) and blanks (1:40 samples) are inserted by Viking Mines into the sampling sequence to both check accuracy and precision of the analytical technique and for any contamination in the analytical process. Results are checked on receipt of assay batches and QAQC reports produced by Viking Mines database manager for checking by the geologist. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. For dry samples, the company collects scoop samples from the RC sample reject from the riffle splitter at a ratio of ~1:50 samples. Laboratory analysis involved the duplicate analysis of certain samples are part of the routine lab QAQC. For hole LKRC0002, the company collected field duplicates via scoop samples from each sample interval to review the impacts of the wet sampling. The mineralised interval was identified in the duplicate 11 ASX:VKA | OTC:VKALF | vikingmines.com Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary samples and an average grade was returned of 14m at 0.47% WO3 vs the original result of 14m at 0.56% WO3. The duplicate sample predominantly analysed at a lower level. The cause of this variance has not been determined and further data is required from the ongoing drill programme to determine if it is statistically relevant. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. The visual distribution of the grain size of the mineralisation seen under UV light indicates a range from coarse to fine. The Competent Person considers the current methods and processes described as appropriate for this style of mineralisation due to the grade of mineralisation being reported being measured in percents and the large diameter hole being used (4.25-inch to 5.25-inch). Quality of assay data and laboratory tests The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. The assaying techniques utilised lab method W-MS89L which utilises a lithium meta-borate fusion and ICP-MS finish. This technique is considered to be total and appropriate for the style of mineralisation being investigated, specifically to ensure full digest of the scheelite to obtain a representative tungsten assay. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Not applicable. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. The company inserts one certified reference material every 20 samples, one blank every 25 samples and selects one duplicate every 10 samples within suspected mineralised zones and the geologist discretion. The analytical laboratory inserted blanks and standards and undertook duplicate analysis on a selection of pulps. No issues were identified or reported by the laboratory and acceptable levels of accuracy and precision have been determined with the analytical technique. No umpire analysis has been conducted which would be required to check for any laboratory bias. Verification of sampling and assaying The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. Significant intersections have not been verified by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. No twinned holes have been drilled at this stage. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Primary data for drill cuttings, including sample number, depth, colour, grain size, weathering, lithology, alteration, rock fabric and the presence of minerals potentially related to mineralisation are collected in the field and entered into a spreadsheet which is then uploaded into relational (Maxwell Datashed) database. Data is managed using the company’s sharepoint system. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. The laboratory reports tungsten in its elemental for as W%. This is converted into Tungsten Oxide (WO3) using stochiometric conversion factor by multiplying W% by 1.2611. Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drillholes (collar and downhole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Drillhole collar positions are initially located using a handheld GPS with an accuracy of +/-5m (z). Upon completion of the drilling programme a differential GPS (accuracy +/- 0.5m) will be used to accurately obtain the collar coordinates. The downhole azimuth and dip are surveyed using a downhole north seeking gyro tool with an accuracy of +/- 1 degree for the azimuth and +/-0.1 degrees for the dip. No MRE is being reported, but the methods being used are deemed suitable for any future MRE estimation. Specification of the grid system used. The adopted grid system is NAD83/UTM Zone 11N and all data are reported in these coordinates. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Publicly available LiDAR data from the USGS is at 1m accuracy and considered of a high quality. 12 ASX:VKA | OTC:VKALF | vikingmines.com Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Data spacing and distribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Results are reported for individual drillholes from the company’s maiden drilling programme at Linka. See map in the body of the report for data spacing of drillholes. Drill spacing ranges from close (<10m) to far (>200m). Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Drilling needs to be completed before this can be determined. Currently no mineral resource estimate is being reported. However, the drill programme has been designed to establish an appropriate degree of geological and grade continuity to report a mineral resource in the future (subject to analysis of drilling results to verify the continuity). Whether sample compositing has been applied. No sample compositing has been applied beyond the length-weighted aggregation of 1m assays described in the body of the report. Orientation of data in relation to geological structure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. Due to the steep nature and azimuth of some of the drillholes being reported, the intervals may have incurred a length bias, however the historical geological information does demonstrate abrupt changes in strike and dip of the mineralisation. Based on the current geological interpretation, hole LKRC0002 which is being reported is not drilling perpendicular to mineralisation. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. The 14m downhole intercept in LKRC0002 is estimated from the Company’s 3D geological model to represent a true width of approximately 9m. Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were collected in the field by Viking geologists and will be shipped to ALS lab in Reno Nevada. samples are secured and bagged and security is not deemed to be an issue. Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. No audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data have been undertaken at this stage.
