Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) announced on September 11, 2026, the appointment of Garland Scott to its board of directors, effective immediately. The move brings significant financial and strategic expertise to the junior mineral exploration company as it seeks to revitalize North America's tungsten supply.
Scott's 26-year career in financial services includes senior roles at Bank of America and Goldman Sachs, where he worked with financial advisors and high-net-worth clients, delivering institutional investment solutions. He later served as Business Development and Consultant Director at SEM Wealth Management and as Chief Growth Officer of On3 Strategies. Scott holds the Certified Investment Management Analyst® (CIMA®) designation and degrees in Psychology and Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
CEO Blake Morgan commented, "We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Scott to the Board. His background at leading firms such as Goldman Sachs will be instrumental in helping Western Star take that next step forward." Morgan also noted that the company will soon provide updates on assay results from its Rowland, White Star, and Eagle Point properties.
In a separate but related development, Western Star has entered into an Investor Awareness Agreement with Market Equities Limited (MEL), dated September 11, 2026. Under the agreement, MEL will provide branding services, communications, advisory, and general consulting, including SEO, digital media campaigns, media consulting, business development, multimedia services, and project management. MEL will also produce and distribute weekly ticker tag articles highlighting the company in sector-based analysis, as well as news-based tags upon new events. The fee is $100,000 USD for a two-month term, subject to Canadian Securities Exchange acceptance, with an option to renew.
The appointment of a high-profile financial executive and the launch of a comprehensive investor awareness campaign underscore Western Star's intent to elevate its profile in the capital markets. As a junior explorer focused on tungsten—a critical mineral essential for defense, aerospace, and manufacturing—the company is positioning itself to benefit from growing demand for secure domestic supply chains. The investor awareness agreement, while costly, could help attract retail and institutional attention, potentially improving liquidity and shareholder value.
Western Star Resources is advancing its entry into the U.S. market through past-producing tungsten assets in historically important mining districts. For more information, visit www.westernstarresources.com. The original release can be viewed on www.newmediawire.com.
