Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) has released an updated investor presentation that consolidates its rapidly advancing North American critical-minerals portfolio, with a strategic focus on building a significant U.S.-based tungsten exploration platform. The presentation, available on the Company's website at www.westernstarresources.com, brings together for the first time the historical production record, modern exploration results, geophysical interpretation, surface sampling, emerging drill targets, and planned advancement strategy across its Eagle Point, Rowland, and White Star tungsten projects in the United States, alongside its drill-permitted polymetallic Western Star Project in British Columbia.
The updated presentation underscores the transformation Western Star has undergone over the past year, moving from acquiring historically productive mineral assets to actively generating modern exploration data and advancing priority targets toward drill testing. The Company's U.S. tungsten strategy is now centered on three past-producing projects in two established mining jurisdictions, each offering different stages of exploration opportunity and collectively providing a growing pipeline of potential drill targets.
At the Eagle Point project in New Mexico, a 100%-interest past-producing tungsten project hosts eight historically mapped skarn bodies along approximately 1,500–2,000 feet of prospective granite-limestone contact. Historical production totaled approximately 1,800 tons of scheelite-bearing material shipped to the U.S. Government stockpile at Deming during 1943–44, settled on a basis of 0.48% WO3. Surface sampling by the USGS and NMBGMR includes sample LH705, a scheelite-rich outcrop returning 27.6% WO3 and 0.98% Mo. In 1955, the U.S. Government prepared and recommended a Defense Minerals Exploration Administration exploration contract (Idm-E783, Docket DMEA-3701) that would have funded 75% of an exploration program involving shaft sinking and diamond drilling, but the contract never became effective. The Company plans to systematically test the tungsten system with modern exploration techniques, with an objective to determine whether Eagle Point can support a maiden NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate.
In Nevada, the Rowland project's 2026 exploration program returned selected rock, float, and channel results of up to 4.02% WO3 (sample RO-16-01, Rowland Main). Soil geochemistry, UAV magnetics, and geological mapping have identified Central and Rowland Main as principal exploration target areas within an approximately one-kilometre geochemical corridor. At the adjoining White Star project, a 2026 selective rock sample (WS-16-02) returned 3.00% WO3 and 711 ppm Mo. The Company's first modern high-resolution UAV magnetic dataset has identified multiple interpreted target zones beyond known historical workings. Together, Rowland and White Star form the consolidated Jarbidge–Charleston tungsten footprint, covering more than six kilometres of prospective tungsten-bearing horizons. Drill-permitting activities have been initiated with a USFS Plan of Operations due to be submitted shortly.
Western Star's CEO, Blake Morgan, commented: "The purpose of this new presentation is to show investors exactly what Western Star has built and, more importantly, where we intend to take it next. 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 Rowland, drill permitting has commenced. 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 also highlighted its application submitted in response to a U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium solicitation relating to reliable supplies of strategic critical minerals, and its intention to assess available U.S. federal programs that may support domestic critical-mineral exploration, development, and supply-chain security. The historical precedent at Eagle Point, where the U.S. Government once recommended 75% funding for exploration, underscores the strategic importance of tungsten to U.S. policy.
In addition to its U.S. focus, Western Star maintains its 100%-owned Western Star Property in British Columbia, a 4,740-hectare project permitted for a multi-pad drill program, hosting twelve documented MINFILE mineral occurrences. This provides additional exposure to gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc mineralization while the Company's principal corporate focus remains the advancement of its U.S. tungsten portfolio.
The updated investor presentation is now available on the Company's website, providing shareholders and prospective investors with a comprehensive overview of Western Star's strategy and progress. The Company's objective is to generate sufficient modern geological, analytical, and QA/QC information to determine whether Eagle Point may ultimately support the preparation of a maiden mineral resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101, while simultaneously advancing its Nevada district-scale target pipeline.
