[{"type":"text","content":"August 24th, 2023 – TheNewswire - Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE:WSR) is pleased to announce the closing of the Toad River Copper-Cobalt Property located Peace River North area of British Colombia. The Toad River Copper Property is located 56km south of Muncho Lake (Alaska Highway) and 16 kms west of Historically producing Churchill Copper Mine. Blake Morgan, the CEO and President of Western Star, stated “With the Toad River Acquisition now complete, Western Star will continue to crunch the data. With 730 meters of known strike length and the identification of copper and cobalt minerals clearly indicates that a much larger mineralized system is proximal. With extremely high copper values on this asset, we look forward to getting crews on the ground to follow up these numbers. With the demand for copper set to outstrip supply, we are looking forward to beginning the exploration for cobalt and copper.” Assays of 15.60 % and 14.80% Copper Measured 730 meters of known strike length. Copper Mineralization Chalcopyrite Bornite Possible Erythrite (a Hydrous cobalt arsenate) The Property hosts approximately 730 meters in length of dissentious vein type copper mineralization, in the form of Chalcopyrite, Bornite, and Pyrite within the Proterozoic rocks of the Aida formation. In 1970 Canadian Superior Exploration Limited collected Fifteen (15) continuous chip samples were taken across various sections of the mineralized veins, and their copper assay values, along with the sample widths, are given below: Sample No Meters Cu % ME- 1 1.34 4.10 ME- 2 1.16 2.40 ME- 3 0.15 13.80 ME- 4 0.43 7.40 ME- 5 0.30 4.80 ME- 6 1.01 8.20 ME- 7 0.61 1.07 ME- 8 0.55 5.45 ME- 9 0.85 2.70 ME-10 0.18 1.98 ME-11 0.61 15.60 NE-12 1.13 14.80 ME-I3 0.30 2.40 ME-14 0.30 5.35 ME-15 0.67 1.55 The veins occur as discontinuous, lens-shaped pods of variable dimensions with widths between 15- to 90- cementers and lengths of less than 25 meters. Situated primarily along the northwest margin of a steeply dipping, northeast-striking dyke which transects a number of north trending dykes. The mineralization consists principally of chalcopyrite with minor amounts of pyrite, bornite, malachite and erythrite, and occurs within the veins in association with quartz, carbonate (ankerite?), and sedimentary rock inclusions. Chalcopyrite appears as blebs, cl...
