Records indicate the Viking occurrence was prospected with about 49 metres of drifting. Limited data indicates galena and/or chalcopyrite mineralization is hosted by quartz veins within Helikian Creston Formation (Purcell Supergroup) green siltstones and argillites. Mineralization was evident in areas of cross-fracturing.

The Viking occurrence at an elevation of 1661 metres, west of Little Sand Creek. The showing consists of an adit driven at north 62 degrees west for a distance of 10 metres after which it turns with the vein onto a bearing of north 22 degrees west. At the face, the zone comprises a strong 1-metre-wide quartz vein with much siderite and limonite (secondary iron minerals) with significant galena, malachite, and chalcopyrite. The vein outcrop, located on the boundary of Balsam No. 9 with Cedar No. 12, is hosted in Middle Proterozoic Precambrian Creston siltites/argillites. (PFD 676699, page 33).

Initial exploration restricted to surface geological mapping was carried out in 1989 and 1990, followed in 1992/93 with a Heli-borne Geophysical Program as a continuation to the earlier Steeples program.

A 1997 exploration report that, "notwithstanding the fact that the Viking and Great Western (082GSW040) zones are hosted by different lithologies, they are in fact different expressions of the same structure outcropping on either side of Little Sand Creek (Property File Document (PFD 676699)).

Refer to Great Western for possible related zone mineralization and to Bull River (082GNW002) for related information on the greater Bull River property which contained the Viking showing and 24 other MINFILE documented mineral occurrences.
