Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) has reported certified laboratory assay results from its inaugural programs at the Rowland Tungsten Property and adjoining White Star Tungsten Project in Elko County, Nevada. The results include a peak rock-chip assay of 4.02% WO3 at the Rowland Main workings and 3.00% WO3 at the White Star Batholith Mine, exceeding twice the reported historical grades and demonstrating the high-grade nature of the system in the district.
Blake Morgan, CEO and President of Western Star, stated, 'Receiving results of this tenor, that exceed twice the reported historical grades mark an exciting development at the Rowland and White Star Properties, and demonstrate the high-grade nature of the system in the district. With the geophysics complete across both properties and the assays now in hand, we are building the integrated Jarbidge-Charleston dataset we need to move confidently into drill target generation.'
At the Rowland Tungsten Property, sampling across three zones of historical workings returned strong results. At Rowland Main, 18 rock-chip, float and channel samples included assays of 4.02%, 2.69%, 2.56%, 2.11% and 1.25% WO3, with coincident credits of molybdenum up to 110.5 ppm, silver up to 6.82 g/t, copper up to 0.4%, and manganese up to 2.57%. Northern Zone A returned 0.23% WO3, and Northern Zone B returned up to 1.22% WO3 with elevated silver and copper values. At the White Star Tungsten Project, two rock-chip samples were collected, with one sample grading 3.00% WO3 and 711 ppm Mo, consistent with historical production grades from the Batholith/Mission Cross Mine.
The results will be integrated with completed UAV magnetic geophysical surveys and pending soil geochemistry to support drill target generation across the consolidated Jarbidge-Charleston tungsten footprint. The company is focused on revitalizing North America's tungsten supply, a critical mineral for defense and technology sectors. Further updates are expected as additional assay results are received.
