Western Star Resources Reports Phase 1 Soil Sampling from the Past Producing Rowland Tungsten Property, Highlight of a 0.14% WO3-In-Soil Result

About this update from Western Star Resources, Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - 10th July 2026 – Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) (the “Company” or “Western Star”) is pleased to report results of the Phase 1 soil-geochemistry program at the past-producing Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County, Nevada, USA. The results confirmed a coherent, multi-element tungsten-skarn signature in soil over an approximately one-kilometre structural corridor, headlined by a peak of 1,425 parts per million (ppm) tungsten trioxide (WO₃) in soil in the area of the recently re-discovered historical workings. On the strength of these results the Company is mobilising an expanded soil program to commence shortly. Highlights from Phase 1 Soil Geochemistry Exceptional peak tungsten-in-soil: 0.14% WO(1,130 ppm W) returned directly over a recently re-discovered zone of historical workings.  Rowland Main confirmed by soil: soils over the main historical workings returned up to 517 ppm and 504 ppm WO  Soils coincide with interpreted skarn contacts: the strongest soil anomalies sit on magnetic gradients (lithological / structural contacts) imaged by the Company’s UAV magnetic survey   Enhanced understanding of skarn contacts: anomalous geochemistry coincident with magnetic gradients will be used to map the prospective skarn horizon to establish a new search space for the expanded soil program.  Multiple critical metals: tungsten is accompanied by coincident diagnostic W-Cu-Mo-Bi(-Be) skarn metals -copper (up to 1,185 ppm), molybdenum (up to 35 ppm), bismuth (up to 5.2 ppm) and beryllium(up to 4.56 ppm).  Targeting model validated; program expanding immediately: anomalous soil over both the historical workings and Rowland Main confirms soil geochemistry as an effective, low-cost vector to prospective skarn-contact zones, and an expanded multi-stage soil campaign will begin shortly to grow these zones toward drill-target definition.  Blake Morgan, President and CEO of Western Star, commented: “As far as we are aware, this is the first ever soil geochemistry survey completed by a public company at Rowland, and returning a high value result of 0.14% WO3 is an excellent start. The anomalous soil results provide a baseline to interpret the expanded soil results once they arrive. Crucially, the soils line up with the contacts our UAV magnetics are mapping, which is ...
