Rediscovering North America's Forgotten Tungsten Powerhouse

    About Western Star Resources

    Western Star Resources is an emerging junior mining company focused on revitalizing North America’s tungsten supply. The company is advancing its entry into the U.S. market through the acquisition of a past-producing tungsten mine in Nevada, one of America’s most important historic tungsten districts. With this strategic move, Western Star is positioning itself to play a leading role in re-establishing a secure, domestic source of this critical mineral.


    Tungsten:The Backbone of Defense, Industry, and Innovation

    • Tungsten is one of the hardest, densest, and most heat-resistant metals known, indispensable to defense, aerospace, energy, and high-tech manufacturing
    • Its unique properties make it critical for armor-piercing munitions, turbine engines, electrical contacts, and semiconductor fabrication
    • Over 80% of global supply is controlled by China with no viable substitutes, tungsten is a strategically vital resource whose secure supply is essential to national security and advanced industry

    Western Star Drone Magnetics Trace the Skarn-Hosting Granite–Limestone Contact Beneath Cover at Eagle Point In Preparation For Drill Program

    Corporate

    11th November 2026 – Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) (the “Company” or “Western Star”) is pleased to announce the results of the high-resolution drone magnetic survey at its 100%-owned Eagle Point Tungsten Project (“Eagle Point” or the “Property”) in Hidalgo County, New Mexico. The survey has mapped the contact between intrusive granite and Horquilla limestone and provides confidence where this contact trends beneath the talus and shallow cover. This contact is the prospective horizon for the tungsten bearing skarn mineralisation. Importantly, the interpreted contact extends north-west from the historical workings across the western part of the Property, where it is concealed beneath cover. The magnetic interpretation has been integrated into the Company’s three-dimensional geological model and the planned 17-hole drill program.
