Western Star Resources Announces Drill Program for Rowland Tungsten Property

Western Star Resources Inc., a Vancouver-based company, has outlined a planned six-hole, approximately 3,050-foot (930-metre) drill program for its 100% owned, past-producing Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County, Nevada, USA. The drill program is designed to test tungsten-in-soil anomalies beneath historical workings, with a focus on three distinct zones of confirmed workings.
The Rowland Main area will see four holes, each approximately 1,850 feet in length, from a single pad beside the historical open cut. These holes, including ROW26-01 and ROW26-02, are positioned to test a shallow modelled magnetic body beneath the soil anomaly, with ROW26-03 targeting the bedrock source of soil sample R079, which returned the highest tungsten-in-soil value of 4,240 ppm W and 0.53% WO₃. The fourth hole, ROW26-04, will be drilled from a pad approximately 250 meters to the south-west, testing the same soil anomaly beneath a historical cut.
In the Northern Zone B, two holes, each approximately 1,200 feet in length, will be drilled from a pad on the existing track. ROW26-05 and ROW26-06 will test beneath the historical shafts and ore chute, with ROW26-05 being the longest hole at 700 feet. These holes will target the modelled magnetic body's roof, approximately 165 to 210 meters below surface, and will test for the highest tungsten-in-soil value of 228 ppm W, as well as rock-chip samples that returned 0.35% to 1.22% WO₃.
The drill program is part of a comprehensive exploration strategy for the Rowland Tungsten Property, which has a rich history of tungsten production. The exploration is being guided by a modern, integrated dataset assembled across the property, including the 2026 Phase 1 and Phase 2 field programs, the UAV magnetic survey, and the rock-chip, channel, and soil assay results.

The planned drill holes are preliminary and subject to adjustment pending field verification and permitting. The Company is also engaging PanAm Marketing Inc. for digital investor awareness services, including programmatic digital advertising, content development, campaign landing pages, and coordination with third-party publishers and content creators. The promotional activity is expected to commence on or about October 15th, 2026, and to conclude on or about November 15, 2026.
