Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) has released an updated investor presentation that consolidates its expanding U.S. tungsten platform, providing a comprehensive overview of its three past-producing projects in Nevada and New Mexico and outlining a clear path toward drilling and potential resource definition. The presentation, now available on the Company's website at www.westernstarresources.com, marks a significant transformation from historical asset acquisition to modern exploration targeting.
The updated presentation brings together, for the first time, the historical production records, modern exploration results, geophysical interpretations, surface sampling, and emerging drill targets across the Eagle Point, Rowland, and White Star tungsten projects in the United States, alongside the drill-permitted Western Star Project in British Columbia. This integrated approach underscores Western Star's strategy to build a significant U.S.-focused tungsten exploration platform, driven by the growing strategic importance of critical minerals for defense, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing.
At the Eagle Point project in New Mexico, the Company holds a 100% interest in a past-producing tungsten mine with eight historically mapped skarn bodies along a 1,500–2,000-foot prospective contact zone. Historical production during 1943–44 shipped approximately 1,800 tons of scheelite-bearing material to the U.S. government stockpile, with grades averaging 0.48% WO3. Surface sampling by the USGS and New Mexico Bureau of Geology returned exceptional results, including sample LH705 with 27.6% WO3 and 0.98% Mo. In 1955, the U.S. government recommended a Defense Minerals Exploration Administration contract that would have funded 75% of an exploration program, but it was never executed. Western Star now intends to systematically test this underexplored system using modern techniques, with a target of a maiden drill program in 2026, subject to permitting and financing. The objective is to generate sufficient geological data to determine whether Eagle Point can support a maiden NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate.
In Nevada, the Rowland and White Star projects form a consolidated Jarbidge–Charleston tungsten footprint covering more than six kilometres of prospective horizons. At Rowland, 2026 exploration returned selected rock samples up to 4.02% WO3, and soil geochemistry identified a coherent tungsten-copper-molybdenum-bismuth anomaly along a one-kilometre corridor. UAV magnetics and geological mapping have defined Central and Rowland Main as priority targets. At White Star, a selective rock sample returned 3.00% WO3 and 711 ppm Mo, and high-resolution UAV magnetic data have identified multiple interpreted target zones beyond historical workings. Drill permitting has commenced with a USFS Plan of Operations due shortly.
CEO Blake Morgan emphasized the strategic relevance: “We have assembled three past-producing tungsten projects in the United States and we are no longer simply talking about historical potential. At Rowland and White Star we have generated modern geophysics, geochemistry and certified laboratory results. At Eagle Point, we are working toward systematically testing a tungsten system that attracted significant U.S. Government attention historically, but where the principal government-backed drilling program was never completed.”
The presentation also highlights the Company's application to a U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium solicitation for strategic critical minerals, with no assurance of funding. The Company's broader portfolio includes the Western Star Property in British Columbia, which is permitted for drilling and hosts twelve documented MINFILE occurrences, providing additional exploration optionality in gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.
With a disciplined strategy focused on target definition, permitting, and drilling, Western Star aims to advance its projects toward compliant mineral resources, positioning itself at the forefront of the U.S. critical-minerals supply chain.
