Western Star Mobilizes Crews to White Star Tungsten Project in Nevada

Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) has mobilized field crews to its 100% owned White Star Tungsten Project in Elko County, Nevada, marking the start of the first modern exploration program on the property. The project is located in the Charleston Mining District, adjacent to the company’s Rowland Tungsten Property, and surrounds the past-producing Mission Cross Mine. Key activities include a property-wide high-resolution UAV magnetic geophysical survey and a systematic soil geochemistry survey. Results from the UAV magnetic survey are expected in the coming weeks, while rock-chip and soil samples will be submitted for certified assay. Blake Morgan, CEO and President, emphasized that this program, alongside ongoing work at Rowland and the recently acquired Eagle Point in New Mexico, gives Western Star three active U.S. tungsten projects in 2026. He noted that White Star shares a similar skarn setting to Rowland and is largely under-explored, making the integrated drone magnetic survey and focused soil and rock-chip program the fastest path to defining drill targets.

The initial program mirrors the integrated workflow at Rowland, including a property-wide UAV magnetic survey to provide the first modern high-resolution geophysical dataset, systematic mapping and ground-truthing of historical mine workings (open-pit, underground, trenches, shafts, adits, and waste dumps), and reconnaissance soil sampling across the broader claim package, including ground between White Star and Rowland. Preliminary processed geophysical products are expected within weeks, and soil samples will be submitted for certified laboratory analysis. The combined datasets from White Star and Rowland are intended to support a district-scale geological model spanning the consolidated Jarbidge–Charleston tungsten footprint. The company aims to revitalize North America's tungsten supply through these strategic acquisitions and exploration efforts. For more details, view the original release on NEWMEDIAWIRE.
