Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 42K) has announced certified laboratory assay results from its inaugural programs at the Rowland Tungsten Property and the adjoining White Star Tungsten Project in Elko County, Nevada. The results highlight high-grade tungsten mineralization, 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 across three zones of historical workings returned multiple high-grade results. At Rowland Main, 18 rock-chip, float, and channel samples included grades of 4.02%, 2.69%, 2.56%, 2.11%, and 1.25% WO3, with coincident elevated molybdenum (up to 110.5 ppm Mo), silver (6.82 g/t Ag), copper (0.4% Cu), and manganese (2.57% Mn). Northern Zone B yielded three samples ranging from 0.35% to 1.22% WO3, with silver up to 10.85 g/t Ag and copper up to 0.8% Cu. Northern Zone A returned 0.23% WO3 from a single sample.
At the White Star Project, two rock-chip samples were collected. Sample WS-16-02 returned 3.00% WO3 and 711 ppm Mo, while WS-16-01 returned 0.13% WO3. These results are consistent with historical production grades from the Batholith/Mission Cross Mine.
The company plans to integrate these results with completed UAV magnetic geophysical surveys and pending soil geochemistry to support drill target generation 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 and technical information has been reviewed by Jasper Mowatt, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
