Western Star Acquires High-Grade Nevada Tungsten Project

Western Star Resources acquires Nevada's Rowland tungsten project with 3.38% WO₃ grades. Strategic move addresses U.S. critical mineral supply chain vulnerabilities.

This development matters because tungsten is essential for national security, advanced manufacturing, and clean energy technologies, yet the United States currently imports nearly all of its supply, primarily from China. The acquisition of the Rowland Project represents a crucial step toward rebuilding domestic critical mineral supply chains, reducing geopolitical risks, and securing materials vital for defense systems, aerospace components, semiconductor manufacturing, and renewable energy infrastructure. As global competition for critical minerals intensifies and supply chain vulnerabilities become increasingly apparent, successful development of domestic tungsten resources could strengthen U.S. economic security, create high-value jobs in the mining sector, and ensure reliable access to materials that underpin modern technology and national defense capabilities.
