Wedoany.com Report on Mar 6th, Viking Mines (ASX:VKA) has identified coincident gravity anomalies with known mineralisation through completed geophysical surveys at its Rinka Tungsten Project in Nevada, USA.

The company conducted 2.2 square kilometres of ground magnetic surveying and 0.5 square kilometres of ground gravity surveying, aiming to refine the project's geological model. A second phase of surveys has commenced and is scheduled for completion in mid-March.

The gravity survey results indicate a density contrast between mineralised scheelite-bearing garnet rock and the surrounding host rock. Targets identified from gravity highs will be ground-truthed and prioritised for follow-up exploration work.

During the surveys, a significant northeast-trending structural feature was identified beneath volcanic cover. CEO Julian Woodcock noted that the geophysical data has helped the company locate potential target areas associated with mineralised geological contacts and gravity anomalies.

Woodcock stated: "The coincidence of known mineralisation at the Main Rinka and Conquest deposits with gravity highs demonstrates the technique's effectiveness in identifying areas of increased density." He emphasised: "We can apply this method to generate additional targets across the entire project area for further evaluation."

Viking Mines is an exploration and development company currently focused on advancing its tungsten resources in Nevada, USA.
