[SMM Tungsten Express] Viking Mines completed technical due diligence on its Linka tungsten project in Nevada, confirming high-grade mineralization potential. Historical drilling returned 7.9m at 0.9% WO₃ from shallow depth, with new discovery extending strike to 1.6km. Surface stockpiles assayed 0.8% WO₃. As the U.S. moves to eliminate Chinese materials from defense supply chains ahead of a late-2026 policy deadline, the company plans 2026 drilling to fast-track domestic tungsten supply development.
