Western Star Resources Company (Private search engine: WSR) (Over-the-counter: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) (the “Company” or “Western Star”) is pleased to announce the mobilization of field crews for the Company’s 100%-owned White Star Tungsten Project in Elko County, Nevada, USA, to begin its planned 2026 exploration program.
The White Star project is located in the Charleston Mining District, adjacent to the company’s Rowland Tungsten property, and was recently acquired by Western Star.
Highlights:
- Field crews have been mobilized at the White Star Tungsten Project to begin the first modern exploration program on the property and surrounding areas of the past productive Mission Cross Mine workings.
- Initial activities include conducting a property-wide high-resolution magnetic geophysical survey and a systematic soil geochemical survey.
- The results of the drone magnetic survey are expected to be released in the coming weeks. Rock and soil samples will be sent to the laboratory for approved testing.

said Blake Morgan, CEO and President of Western Star “Mobilization to White Star, with the Rowland program already underway and Eagle Point just acquired in New Mexico, gives Western Star three active U.S. tungsten projects on land in 2026. White Star is located in the same skarn environment as Rowland and is similar to Rowland, which is largely unexplored. Conducting an integrated drone magnetic survey and focused soil and rock chip program across the White Star business is the quickest route to identifying drilling targets and matching what we have already done at Rowland.”
Program at White Star
The initial White Star program will reflect the integrated workflow implemented at Rowland and include the following core workflows;
- A property-wide UAV magnetic survey, providing the first modern high-resolution geophysical dataset across the project
- Systematic mapping and ground verification of historic mine workings, including open and underground workings, surface trenches, shafts, outlets and waste dumps.
- Reconnaissance soil sampling across the wider White Star claim package, including land between the White Star works and the adjacent Rowland Property.
Next steps
The company expects to receive the initial processed geophysical products from the contractor in the coming weeks. Soil samples will be submitted for approved laboratory analysis, with analysis results released once they are received and interpreted. The combined White Star and Rowland datasets are intended to support a single, area-scale geological model covering the uniform Jarbidge-Charleston tungsten footprint.
