Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 42K) has released 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 confirm high-grade tungsten mineralisation across multiple zones, with peak rock-chip assays of 4.02% WO3 at the Rowland Main workings and 3.00% WO3 at the White Star Batholith Mine.
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 Property, sampling targeted three zones of historical workings: Northern Zone A, Northern Zone B, and Rowland Main. At Rowland Main, 18 rock-chip and channel samples returned values ranging from 0.01% to 4.02% WO3, with five samples exceeding 1.0% WO3, including 4.02%, 2.69%, 2.56%, and 2.11% WO3. Coincident molybdenum values up to 110.5 ppm Mo, silver up to 6.82 g/t, and copper up to 0.4% were also reported.
At Northern Zone B, three rock-chip samples returned 0.35% to 1.22% WO3, with elevated silver (up to 10.85 g/t) and copper (0.8%). Northern Zone A yielded a single sample of 0.23% WO3 with anomalous silver and molybdenum.
At the White Star Project, initial rock-chip sampling returned two samples: one grading 3.00% WO3 with 711 ppm Mo from the Batholith Mine area, and another at 0.13% WO3 near a rehabilitated open pit. These results are consistent with historical production grades from the district.
The company plans to integrate these results with completed UAV magnetic geophysical surveys and pending soil geochemistry to generate drill targets across the consolidated Jarbidge-Charleston tungsten footprint. Further soil sampling is ongoing, and updates will be provided as additional assays are received.
Quality assurance and quality control protocols were maintained, with samples analyzed by ALS Global in Reno, Nevada. The scientific information has been reviewed by Jasper Mowatt, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
