Dallas, Texas (December 14, 2011) – StockGuru Shines its Spotlight on Viking Minerals (OTCBB: VKML). The Company reported yesterday that its independent U.S. contract geologist, in conjunction with the company’s consulting Geophysicists has recommended additional 3D – IP surveying over the defined anomaly on the Dolly Varden Claims located in Elko County, Nevada. The Company closed on December 13, 2011, at $0.0065, trading in a fifty-two week range of $0.30 – 0.0002.
This surveying in conjunction with the outlined continued 3D – IP survey to the north and south of the initial claim group is designed to test the open peripherals of the currently known geophysical zone at depth in response to the success to date of the company’s drill program.
Quadra FNX has agreed to sell its operations for $3.5 billion to KGHM which amounts to a 41% premium above the company’s recent trading price. As Quadra’s Flagship Robinson Mine is so close in proximity to the Dolly Varden property it is vital that Viking continue to advance the Dolly Varden property.
Since drilling commenced on Dolly Varden every drill hole has intersected mineralization which appears to increase in intensity at depth.
The intersection of massive sulphide mineralization in the vertical hole which is 600 metres south of the initial drill area and 600 metres west of the second drill area requires this deep geophysics to explain the deeper roots of these zones.
The company’s consulting geologist has indicated that with the amount of pervasive alteration a deeper “buried” porphyry system could be responsible for this mineralizing event (or events).
Drilling will continue to delineate the mineralized structure associated with the mineralization.
