Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) announced on November 11, 2026, the results of a high-resolution drone magnetic survey at its 100%-owned Eagle Point Tungsten Project in Hidalgo County, New Mexico. The survey, covering approximately 4.9 square kilometres, has mapped the contact between intrusive granite and Horquilla Limestone, the prospective horizon for tungsten-bearing skarn mineralization, and provides confidence where this contact trends beneath talus and shallow cover. The announcement matters because it gives the company a three-dimensional framework for its planned 17-hole, approximately 1,850-metre drill program, moving a historically worked but underexplored tungsten asset toward modern testing in the United States, where critical mineral supply chains are a policy priority.
The magnetic data show a broad, arcuate magnetic high interpreted to reflect the granite, bounded to the north-west by a sharp gradient against a magnetically quiet domain corresponding to the limestone. The company interprets that gradient to approximate the granite-limestone contact, which it traces for approximately three kilometres, curving from the north-eastern part of the survey south-west across the western part of the property where it projects beneath shallow cover and cannot be mapped at surface. The historical Eagle Point workings and the principal skarn exposure sampled in August 2026 sit at the southern end of the interpreted contact, providing a direct link between the magnetic framework and known scheelite mineralization. The results were processed and interpreted by Warren Hughes, P.Geo., of East Coast Consulting, and integrated into the company’s Leapfrog Geo three-dimensional model. Blake Morgan, CEO and President, said the survey has done exactly what was needed: the skarn mapped in August sits on the granite-limestone contact, most of which is hidden under shallow cover, and the magnetics now show where it goes, running for kilometres north-west beneath cover.
The planned drill program has been positioned on the interpreted contact, with six holes stepping out up to approximately 400 metres north-west of the historical workings to test the contact beneath talus cover. Investors can view Figure 1 showing the reduced-to-pole total magnetic intensity, and Figure 2 with the interpreted contact and the location of sample LH705, a composite sample of scheelite-bearing skarn outcrop grading 27.6% WO3 and 0.98% Mo collected by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. Figure 3 shows the tilt derivative marking interpreted magnetic source edges, and Figure 4 shows the planned 2026 drill holes on the interpreted contact.
Assay results from 23 samples collected in August 2026 remain pending at ALS Geochemistry in Tucson, Arizona, and will be integrated with the magnetics and the three-dimensional model to finalize drill targets. The company said mapping and sampling will be extended north-west along the interpreted contact, including the historical trenches, while it advances drilling logistics and applicable permitting. The company also cautioned that magnetic surveys measure a physical rock property and do not detect tungsten, that scheelite is not magnetic, and that the interpretations require confirmation by drilling.
