(CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) is racing a defense-procurement clock that bars Chinese tungsten from key military uses on January 1, 2027.VANCOUVER, BC, June 23, 2026 /CNW/ -- AmericanNewsGroup.com News Commentary — The United States has not produced tungsten from a domestic mine since 2015, and the clock on fixing that is no longer abstract.

The initial work is geophysics-led: a property-wide, high-resolution UAV (drone) magnetic survey paired with a systematic soil-geochemistry program. It is the kind of unglamorous, foundational fieldwork that turns a historic mine site into a set of modern, drill-ready targets — and Western Star is doing it on a property that sits directly adjacent to its own Rowland Tungsten Property in the Charleston Mining District.A 900% Price Move Meets a Hard DeadlineTo understand why a small Nevada exploration program is drawing attention, start with the price cha...
