A Past-Producing Nevada Tungsten Mine Just Lit Up in Soil - and Western Star Is Already Expanding the Hunt

A Past-Producing Nevada Tungsten Mine Just Lit Up in Soil — and Western Star Is Already Expanding the Hunt Issued on behalf of Western Star Resources Inc. First-ever public-company soil survey at the Rowland Tungsten Property returns a peak of 1,425 ppm WO₃, confirms the skarn model, and lines up with the geophysics — sending Western Star (CSE: WSR) straight into an expanded program. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equity Insider News Commentary — There is a particular kind of exploration result that matters more than its raw numbers suggest: the one that proves a method works. Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) just delivered one at its past-producing Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County, Nevada. A first-pass soil survey — by the company's account, the first ever completed by a public company at Rowland — returned a peak of 1,425 parts per million (ppm) tungsten trioxide (WO₃) in soil and, crucially, lined those anomalies up with the geological contacts the company's drone-borne magnetics had already mapped. That combination is why the company isn't waiting: it is mobilising an expanded soil program to begin shortly. Key Takeaways Phase 1 soil geochemistry at Rowland returned a peak of 1,425 ppm WO₃, with a standout result of 0.14% WO₃ (1,130 ppm W) directly over a recently re-discovered zone of historical workings.Soils over the main historical workings (Rowland Main) returned up to 517 ppm and 504 ppm WO₃, independently confirming the known mineralised zone.The strongest soil anomalies sit on magnetic gradients — the lithological and structural contacts imaged by Western Star's UAV magnetic survey — tightening the targeting model.Tungsten travels with a coherent polymetallic skarn signature: copper up to 1,185 ppm, molybdenum up to 35 ppm, bismuth up to 5.2 ppm and beryllium up to 4.56 ppm.With the low-cost soil vector validated over both target areas, an expanded multi-stage soil campaign begins imminently to grow the zones toward drill-target definition. The Number That Matters, and the One Behind It The headline figure is a peak of 1,425 ppm WO₃ in soil, recorded at sample X-3 in the central zone. Put in context, that is a striking anomaly: Western Star determined the background tungsten level acro...
