Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) provided a corporate update on June 24, 2026, summarizing recent advancements across its U.S.-focused tungsten platform. The company also announced the launch of an official Stocktwits account as a supplemental communication channel for shareholders.
Over the past several months, Western Star has advanced its strategy of building a U.S.-focused tungsten platform at a time when tungsten continues to receive increased attention as a critical mineral for defense, aerospace, energy, and advanced manufacturing applications. The company's recent progress includes closing an oversubscribed private placement and flow-through financing to support exploration, development, working capital, and market awareness initiatives.
At the Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County, Nevada, Western Star completed Phase 1 exploration, including a modern UAV magnetic geophysical survey, soil geochemistry, rock-chip sampling, and field checking of historical workings. The company also initiated drill-permitting work through the engagement of KC Harvey Environmental, LLC. The acquisition of the adjacent White Star Tungsten Project, which features historical tungsten-molybdenum skarn mineralization, allows the company to evaluate both properties as part of a broader district-scale exploration model. Western Star believes the proximity of the two projects may provide advantages related to logistics, exploration efficiency, and future drill targeting.
Further expanding its portfolio, Western Star acquired a 100% interest in the past-producing Eagle Point Tungsten Mine in New Mexico. This asset provides exposure to another historical tungsten district with documented past production, surface mineralization, and untested exploration targets. Additionally, the company submitted an application in response to a solicitation from the U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium related to the supply of strategic critical minerals.
Blake Morgan, President and CEO of Western Star, stated, "Western Star has had a very active period, and we believe the recent developments are connected by one clear strategy: building a meaningful U.S.-focused tungsten platform around past-producing assets, modern exploration, and the growing need for reliable domestic critical mineral supply." He added that the company will have news regarding its drill permits, maiden drill programs, and assays from current exploration programs over the next few weeks.
Western Star also announced the launch of its official Stocktwits account at @WesternStarResources. The company intends to use Stocktwits to share links to news releases, public updates, interviews, investor awareness content, and other publicly available information. The company emphasized that the Stocktwits account is intended to supplement, not replace, formal disclosure channels such as news releases, regulatory filings, and its website.
This update underscores the strategic importance of domestic tungsten supply as a critical mineral for national security and advanced manufacturing. By consolidating past-producing assets and applying modern exploration techniques, Western Star is positioning itself to contribute to the U.S. critical minerals supply chain.
