Western Star Resources Launches New Investor Presentation Showcasing Expanding U.S. Tungsten Platform and 2026 Path Toward Drilling

Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) is pleased to announce the release of its newly updated investor presentation, providing shareholders and prospective investors with a comprehensive overview of the Company’s rapidly advancing North American critical-minerals portfolio and its strategy to build a significant U.S.-focused tungsten exploration platform. The updated presentation brings together, for the first time in a single corporate document, the historical production record, modern exploration results, geophysical interpretation, surface sampling, emerging drill targets and planned advancement strategy across Western Star’s Eagle Point, Rowland and White Star tungsten projects in the United States, together with the Company’s drill-permitted polymetallic Western Star Project in British Columbia. The presentation is available through the Company’s website at www.westernstarresources.com . Western Star believes the updated presentation demonstrates the significant transformation undertaken by the Company over the past year — from acquiring historically productive mineral assets to actively generating modern exploration data and advancing priority targets toward drill testing. The Company's U.S. tungsten strategy is now centred around three past-producing projects in two established U.S. mining jurisdictions , each offering a different stage of exploration opportunity and together providing Western Star with a growing pipeline of potential drill targets. A U.S. TUNGSTEN PORTFOLIO MOVING FROM HISTORY TO MODERN EXPLORATION The updated presentation highlights: Eagle Point, New Mexico: a 100%-interest, past-producing tungsten project hosting eight historically mapped skarn bodies along approximately 1,500–2,000 feet of prospective granite-limestone contact [3]. Historical production totalled approximately 1,800 tons of scheelite-bearing material shipped to the U.S. Government stockpile at Deming during 1943–44, settled on a basis of 0.48% WO [1][2]. Surface sampling by the U.S. Geological Survey and the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (USGS/NMBGMR) includes sample LH705, a scheelite-rich outcrop sample, returning 27.6% WO₃ and 0.98% Mo [4]. In 1955 the U.S. Government prepared and recommended a Defense Minerals Exploration Administration exploration contract (Idm-E783, Docket DMEA-3701) under which it would have funded 75% of an exploration program involving shaft sinking and diamond drilling [3]. Historical estimates associated with Eagle Point are historical in nature, are not NI 43-101 compliant and are not being treated by the Company as current mineral resources or mineral reserves - see “Historical Estimates” below. Rowland, Nevada: a past-producing tungsten project where Western Star’s 2026 exploration program returned selected rock, float and channel results of up to 4.02% WO , (sample RO-16-01, Rowland Main), as disclosed in the Company’s news release dated July 28, 2026. Soil geochemistry (news release dated July 10, 2026), UAV magnetics (news release dated June 17, 2026) and geological mapping have identified Central and Rowland Main as principal exploration target areas within an approximately one-kilometre geochemical corridor. White Star, Nevada: a 100%-owned project adjacent to Rowland, where a 2026 selective rock sample (WS-16-02) retu...
