Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) has released an updated investor presentation, providing a comprehensive overview of its North American critical-minerals portfolio, with a focus on building a significant U.S. tungsten exploration platform. The presentation consolidates, for the first time, historical production records, modern exploration results, geophysical interpretations, surface sampling, and emerging drill targets across its Eagle Point, Rowland, and White Star tungsten projects in the United States, along with its drill-permitted Western Star Project in British Columbia.
The update underscores the company's transformation over the past year from acquiring historically productive mineral assets to actively generating modern exploration data and advancing priority targets toward drill testing. Western Star's U.S. tungsten strategy now centers on three past-producing projects in two established mining jurisdictions, each offering different stages of exploration opportunity, creating 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 about 1,800 tons of scheelite-bearing material shipped to the U.S. Government stockpile during 1943–44, with surface sampling by the USGS and NMBGMR returning sample LH705 with 27.6% WO3 and 0.98% Mo. In 1955, the U.S. Government prepared a Defense Minerals Exploration Administration contract that would have funded 75% of an exploration program, but it was never executed. Western Star intends to use modern mapping, geochemistry, geophysics, and, subject to permitting and financing, drilling to test historically identified mineralization and extensions, aiming to determine if 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, with soil geochemistry, UAV magnetics, and geological mapping identifying Central and Rowland Main as principal target areas within an approximately one-kilometre geochemical corridor. The adjacent White Star project, 100%-owned, returned a selective rock sample of 3.00% WO3 and 711 ppm Mo. The consolidated Jarbidge–Charleston footprint covers more than six kilometres of prospective tungsten-bearing horizons, and drill-permitting activities have been initiated with a USFS Plan of Operations due shortly.
The presentation also highlights the Western Star Property in British Columbia, a 4,740-hectare project permitted for drilling, hosting twelve documented MINFILE occurrences. While the company's principal focus is on U.S. tungsten, this property provides additional exposure to gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.
Western Star is also assessing U.S. federal programs that may support domestic critical-mineral exploration and development. The company has submitted an application in response to a U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium solicitation relating to reliable supplies of strategic critical minerals, though there is no assurance of qualification or funding.
Blake Morgan, President and CEO, 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 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.”
