WESTERN STAR RESOURCES MOBILISES TO THE PAST PRODUCING WHITE STAR TUNGSTEN PROJECT AND COMMENCES DRONE GEOPHYSICS

Field crews have mobilized to Western Star Resources Inc.'s company's 100-per-cent-owned White Star tungsten project in Elko county, Nevada, United States, to commence the 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.

Key highlights:

• Field crews have mobilized to the White Star tungsten project to commence the first modern exploration program on the property and surrounding the past-producing Mission Cross mine workings.
• Initial activities include a property-wide high-resolution UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) magnetic geophysical survey and a systematic soil geochemistry survey.
• UAV magnetic survey results are expected over the coming weeks; rock-chip and soil samples will be submitted to the laboratory for certified assay.

Blake Morgan, the chief executive officer and president of Western Star, stated: "Mobilizing to White Star, with the Rowland program already under way and Eagle Point just acquired in New Mexico, gives Western Star three active U.S. tungsten projects on the ground in 2026. White Star sits in the same skarn setting as Rowland and, similarly to Rowland, is largely underexplored. Running an integrated drone magnetic survey and a focused soil and rock-chip program across the White Star workings is the fastest path to defining drill targets and matching what we have already done at Rowland."

Program at White Star

The initial White Star program will mirror the integrated workflow being applied at Rowland and comprises the following core workstreams:

• A property-wide UAV magnetic survey, providing the first modern high-resolution geophysical data set across the project;
• Systematic mapping and ground truthing of the historical mine workings, including open-pit and underground workings, surface trenches, shafts, adits, and waste dumps;
• Reconnaissance soil sampling across the broader White Star claim package, including ground between the White Star workings and the adjoining Rowland property.

Next steps

The company expects to receive preliminary processed geophysical products from the contractor over the coming weeks. Soil samples will be submitted for certified laboratory analysis, with assay results to be released once received and interpreted. The combined White Star and Rowland data sets are intended to support a single, district-scale geological model spanning the consolidated Jarbidge-Charleston tungsten footprint.

About Western Star Resources Inc.

Western Star Resources is an emerging junior mineral exploration company focused on revitalizing North America's tungsten supply. The company is advancing its entry into the U.S. market through the acquisition of a past-producing tungsten mine in Nevada -- one of America's most important historic tungsten districts. With this strategic move, Western Star is positioning itself to play a leading role in re-establishing a secure, domestic source of this critical mineral. The company also owns nine non-surveyed contiguous mineral claims totalling 4,740 hectares, which are located within the Revelstoke mining division of British Columbia. The Western Star property group is located approximately 50 kilometres southeast of Revelstoke, B.C., and roughly 10 kilometres north of the abandoned community of Camborne.
