Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) has announced the release of its newly updated investor presentation, providing shareholders and prospective investors with a comprehensive overview of the Company's rapidly advancing North American critical-minerals portfolio and its strategy to build a significant U.S.-focused tungsten exploration platform.
The updated presentation brings together, for the first time in a single corporate document, the historical production record, modern exploration results, geophysical interpretation, surface sampling, emerging drill targets and planned advancement strategy across Western Star's Eagle Point, Rowland and White Star tungsten projects in the United States, together with the Company's drill-permitted polymetallic Western Star Project in British Columbia. The presentation is available through the Company's website at www.westernstarresources.com.
Western Star believes the updated presentation demonstrates the significant transformation undertaken by the Company over the past year - 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 centred around three past-producing projects in two established U.S. mining jurisdictions, each offering a different stage of exploration opportunity and together providing Western Star with a growing pipeline of potential drill targets.
At Eagle Point, New Mexico, the Company holds a 100% interest in a past-producing tungsten project hosting eight historically mapped skarn bodies along approximately 1,500–2,000 feet of prospective granite-limestone contact. Historical production totalled 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% WO(3). Surface sampling by the U.S. Geological Survey and the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources includes sample LH705, a scheelite-rich outcrop sample returning 27.6% WO(3) and 0.98% Mo. In 1955, the U.S. Government prepared and recommended a Defense Minerals Exploration Administration exploration contract under which it would have funded 75% of an exploration program involving shaft sinking and diamond drilling. Historical estimates associated with Eagle Point are historical in nature and are not NI 43-101 compliant.
At Rowland, Nevada, Western Star's 2026 exploration program returned selected rock, float and channel results of up to 4.02% WO(3) (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 White Star, Nevada, a 100%-owned project adjacent to Rowland, a 2026 selective rock sample (WS-16-02) returned 3.00% WO(3) and 711 ppm Mo. The Company's first modern high-resolution UAV magnetic dataset has identified multiple interpreted target zones beyond the known historical workings.
Together, Rowland and White Star form the Company's consolidated Jarbidge–Charleston tungsten footprint, an exploration concept covering more than six kilometres of prospective tungsten-bearing horizons. The Company has initiated drill-permitting activities with a USFS Plan of Operations due to be submitted shortly to cover the consolidated Jarbidge–Charleston district.
A central element of Western Star's forward strategy is the systematic advancement of the Eagle Point Tungsten Project. The Company intends to use modern mapping, geochemistry, geophysics and, subject to permitting, financing, final drill design, contractor availability and other customary considerations, drilling to test historically identified tungsten mineralization and selected extensions. Western Star'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 National Instrument 43-101. As previously disclosed, Western Star is targeting a maiden Eagle Point drilling program during 2026, subject to the foregoing conditions.
In Nevada, the updated presentation illustrates the progression of Western Star's exploration strategy from acquisition and land expansion through geophysics, geochemistry, sampling and now drill-target definition. At Rowland, 93 soil samples collected during the Company's 2026 program produced a coherent tungsten-copper-molybdenum-bismuth geochemical signature extending across an approximately one-kilometre structural corridor. The strongest soil anomalies coincide with UAV magnetic gradients and with interpreted intrusive-carbonate contacts, with Central and Rowland Main emerging as the principal current exploration target areas. At adjoining White Star, Western Star is integrating magnetic interpretation, surface geochemistry, mapping and its 3.00% WO(3) selective rock result as it works to rank additional targets across the broader Nevada exploration position.
Tungsten's importance to defence, aerospace, advanced manufacturing and technology has placed secure critical-mineral supply chains firmly within U.S. strategic policy discussions. Western Star intends to continue assessing available U.S. federal programs that may support domestic critical-mineral exploration, development and supply-chain security, including potential grant, cost-sharing and other non-dilutive funding opportunities. As previously disclosed, 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.
Blake Morgan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Western Star Resources, 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 updated investor presentation also highlights Western Star's 100%-owned Western Star Property in the Revelstoke Mining District of British Columbia. The 4,740-hectare project is permitted for a multi-pad drill program with the associated government bond paid, and hosts twelve documented MINFILE mineral occurrences on the Western Star Property together with three further occurrences on the adjoining Discovery Property. This mineral-occurrence information is drawn from third-party government records and has not been verified by the Qualified Person.
