WESTERN STAR RESOURCES INCREASES NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FOR AGGREGATE PROCEEDS OF CAD $3,000,000

Western Star Resources Inc. intends to increase the previously announced non-brokered private placement to up to 20 million units of the company at a price of 15 cents per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $3-million.

Each unit will consist of one common share of the company and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price of 30 cents for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

The company intends to use the net proceeds to define high-priority drill targets at its Western Star project, and to complete its critical metals move into Nevada, general working capital and market awareness. The private placement remains subject to receipt of all required approvals, including the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange, as well as execution of formal documentation.

Western Star president and chief executive officer Blake Morgan states: "We are extremely pleased with the strong interest in this financing, which reflects growing recognition of tungsten and critical minerals as strategic resources in North America. This capital positions Western Star to aggressively advance high-priority drill targets at our Western Star project while accelerating our expansion into Nevada. We believe we are building meaningful exposure to a commodity that is increasingly vital to defence, infrastructure and advanced technologies."

The company also announces that it has granted 150,000 stock options to a consultant of the company pursuant to its stock option plan. The options are exercisable at a price of 27 cents per share for a period of three years from the date of grant.
