Western Star Resources Mobilises to the Past Producing White Star Tungsten Project and Commences Drone Geophysics

Western Star Advances Nevada Tungsten District Exploration as U.S. Critical Mineral Policy Tightens

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Jun 22, 2026 · 03:05 WSR · 0.44 Western Star Resources Inc.
Executive Summary
  • Western Star Resources has mobilized field crews to its 100% owned White Star Tungsten Project in Elko County, Nevada, to begin its 2026 exploration program.
  • Initial activities focus on a property-wide high-resolution UAV magnetic survey and systematic soil/rock-chip geochemistry sampling around the historic Mission Cross Mine workings.
  • The company plans to integrate these datasets with its adjacent Rowland Property to build a district-scale geological model and identify future drill targets.
  • CEO Blake Morgan highlighted that this mobilization, alongside the ongoing Rowland program and the newly acquired Eagle Point project in New Mexico, gives Western Star three active U.S. tungsten projects on the ground in 2026.
  • Preliminary geophysical products are expected in the coming weeks, with assay results to follow.
Material Impact
  • The release represents a standard, expected progression of the company's announced 2026 exploration calendar. It does not contain new assay results, resource definitions, or financing events.
  • The strategic narrative remains consistent: consolidating a district-scale tungsten footprint in Nevada and New Mexico to capitalize on U.S. critical mineral supply chain initiatives.
  • There is no immediate financial or operational inflection point. The work is purely exploratory and pre-drill.

Company Overview
  • Western Star Resources is an exploration-stage junior mining company focused on tungsten and critical metals.
  • The company operates a portfolio of past-producing and underexplored tungsten skarn projects in Nevada (Rowland, White Star) and New Mexico (Eagle Point), alongside a large carbonate replacement deposit in British Columbia (Western Star Project).
  • The core thesis revolves around U.S. domestic tungsten supply chain security, with ~85% of global supply controlled by China and a new U.S. federal procurement rule taking effect in 2027 prohibiting certain Chinese-origin tungsten in defense applications.
