Western Star Resources Identifies Significant Tungsten Anomalies

Western Star Resources Inc has announced the results of its Phase 2 soil geochemical survey at the Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County, Nevada, USA. The survey has identified two discrete tungsten-in-soil anomalies, expanding the recognized footprint of the property and providing new targets for drilling.

The survey, which collected 315 soil samples spaced approximately 100 meters apart with a sample spacing of 25 to 50 meters, has defined two significant anomalies. The larger of the two, the Rowland Main anomaly, covers an area of approximately 190 meters by 630 meters, with a highly anomalous value of 4,240 ppm W (0.53% WO₃) at sample R079. This sample also carries 66.9 ppm Sn, the highest tin value in the survey. The Rowland Main anomaly is associated with an interpreted magnetic-high lineament and includes 18 samples with anomalous values, with the highest-grade samples including R082 (422 ppm W), R119 (373 ppm W), R116 (215 ppm W), R078 (176 ppm W), and R120 (110 ppm W).

The second anomaly, the Northern Zone B anomaly, covers an area of 200 meters by 200 meters, peaking at 228 ppm W at sample R188. This anomaly is centered on rock-chip samples RO-18-01, RO-18-02, and RO-18-03, which returned 0.35%, 1.22%, and 0.54% WO₃ respectively. The anomaly is developed over tactite and calc-silicate hornfels and Prospect Mountain quartzite. The Northern Zone B anomaly lies within the modelled intrusive body resolved by the Company’s three-dimensional magnetic inversion, and the anomaly center is close to an interpreted magnetic-low lineament.

Blake Morgan, the CEO and President of Western Star, stated, “These results show the methodical exploration approach is paying off. We have defined two significant soil anomalies over the historical workings and extended the recognized footprint well beyond them. The strongest result came from ground nobody has tested.”

The survey results will be integrated with the completed UAV magnetic survey, the three-dimensional magnetic inversion, and the rock-chip and channel assay results announced in July 2026 to advance drill target generation across the consolidated Jarbidge, Charleston tungsten footprint. Soil geochemistry from the nearby White Star Tungsten Project (253 samples) remains pending and will be reported when received.
