Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) has released an updated investor presentation that consolidates its expanding U.S. tungsten platform, highlighting three past-producing assets and a clear pathway toward drilling and potential NI 43-101 resource definition. The presentation, now available on the company's website at www.westernstarresources.com, brings together historical production records, modern exploration data, and strategic plans for the Eagle Point, Rowland, and White Star projects in the United States.
The company's U.S. tungsten strategy centers on these three past-producing projects in Nevada and New Mexico, each offering a different stage of exploration opportunity. At Eagle Point, New Mexico, Western Star holds a 100% interest in a project that historically shipped approximately 1,800 tons of scheelite-bearing material to the U.S. Government stockpile during 1943-44, with surface samples returning up to 27.6% WO3. The project hosts eight mapped skarn bodies along a prospective granite-limestone contact. Western Star is targeting a maiden drilling program in 2026 to test the geometry, grade, and continuity of the historical mineralization, with the objective of potentially defining a maiden mineral resource estimate under NI 43-101.
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 of up to 4.02% WO3, and soil geochemistry, UAV magnetics, and geological mapping have identified Central and Rowland Main as principal targets within a one-kilometre geochemical corridor. At White Star, a selective rock sample returned 3.00% WO3, and a recent high-resolution UAV magnetic survey has identified multiple interpreted target zones. The company has initiated drill-permitting activities with a USFS Plan of Operations to cover the consolidated district.
Western Star's CEO, Blake Morgan, emphasized the company's transformation from historical potential to modern exploration. "We are no longer simply talking about historical potential," he said. "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 company is also assessing potential government support for critical-mineral projects. It has submitted an application in response to a U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium solicitation for reliable supplies of strategic critical minerals, though there is no assurance of funding. Historically, the Eagle Point project was recommended for a Defense Minerals Exploration Administration contract in 1955 that would have funded 75% of a proposed exploration program, but the contract never became effective.
In addition to its U.S. portfolio, Western Star holds the 100%-owned Western Star Property in British Columbia, which is drill-permitted and hosts twelve documented MINFILE mineral occurrences. However, the company's principal focus remains advancing its U.S. tungsten assets.
The updated presentation underscores Western Star's disciplined approach: define targets, obtain permits, drill the best opportunities, and advance projects toward compliant mineral resources. As the United States emphasizes secure critical-mineral supply chains, Western Star's portfolio is positioned to play a relevant role in domestic tungsten supply.
