Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) has released an updated investor presentation that consolidates its expanding U.S. tungsten platform and details a clear path toward drilling in 2026. The presentation, now available on the company’s website at www.westernstarresources.com, brings together for the first time the historical production records, modern exploration results, geophysical interpretations, and emerging drill targets across its Eagle Point, Rowland, and White Star tungsten projects in the United States, alongside its drill-permitted polymetallic project in British Columbia.
The update comes as Western Star positions itself within the broader U.S. strategic focus on critical minerals. Tungsten is essential for defense, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing, and the company believes its portfolio is well-aligned with policy discussions on securing domestic supply chains. The presentation highlights a transformative year for the company, moving from acquiring historically productive assets to generating modern exploration data and prioritizing targets for drill testing.
At the Eagle Point project in New Mexico, Western Star holds a 100% interest in a past-producing tungsten mine with eight historically mapped skarn bodies along a prospective contact zone. Historical production during 1943-44 shipped approximately 1,800 tons of scheelite-bearing material to the U.S. Government stockpile, with surface samples returning up to 27.6% WO3. The company is targeting a maiden drilling program in 2026 to test the geometry and continuity of the mineralization, with the objective of potentially defining a National Instrument 43-101 compliant mineral resource. This effort builds on historical U.S. government interest, including a 1955 Defense Minerals Exploration Administration contract that was never executed.
In Nevada, the Rowland and White Star projects form a consolidated Jarbidge–Charleston tungsten footprint covering more than six kilometers of prospective horizons. Recent exploration at Rowland returned rock samples up to 4.02% WO3, and soil geochemistry, UAV magnetics, and geological mapping have identified Central and Rowland Main as principal target areas. At White Star, a selective rock sample returned 3.00% WO3, and the first high-resolution UAV magnetic survey has identified multiple interpreted target zones beyond historical workings. Drill permitting has commenced with a USFS Plan of Operations to be submitted shortly.
Blake Morgan, President and CEO, stated, ‘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 company has also submitted an application under a U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium solicitation for strategic critical minerals, though no assurance of funding exists. Western Star continues to assess federal programs that may support domestic critical-mineral exploration and development.
The updated presentation details the company’s disciplined strategy: define targets, obtain approvals, drill the best opportunities, and advance projects toward compliant mineral resources. With a growing emphasis on U.S. tungsten, Western Star aims to create long-term shareholder value while contributing to the security of critical mineral supplies. The company also maintains its Western Star Property in British Columbia, which is drill-permitted and hosts multiple MINFILE occurrences, providing additional optionality.
