Western Star Resources Reports UAV Geophysics Results at the Rowland Tungsten Property

Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) has announced results from a high-resolution UAV magnetic geophysical survey at its Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County, Nevada. This survey represents the first modern geophysical dataset acquired at the property, providing critical insights into the structural controls on mineralization and refining geological interpretations to prioritize follow-up exploration targets.

The survey processed Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI), First Vertical Derivative (1VD), Second Vertical Derivative (2VD), and Analytical Signal (AS) products. Several existing target zones align with northeast-southwest trending magnetic lineaments, interpreted as potential fault structures and fluid pathways. Historical workings and Phase 1 target areas are spatially associated with refined intrusive-carbonate contacts and prospective skarn horizons. Notably, a magnetic-high domain and adjacent magnetic-low domain immediately south of the historical Rowland zone represent untested features that may indicate extensions of the prospective skarn horizon.

Blake Morgan, CEO and President of Western Star, stated, “The results of the high-resolution magnetic survey represent an important step in building the first modern exploration dataset at Rowland. The survey has highlighted multiple structural features and magnetic domains that appear to be associated with historical workings and interpreted skarn horizons. We look forward to integrating these results with the Phase 1 soil geochemistry, which is expected imminently, as we advance toward Phase 2 exploration and the definition of priority targets for a maiden drilling campaign.”

The Rowland area has limited high-resolution public geophysical coverage, and to the company’s knowledge, no previous operator has completed a modern UAV magnetic survey across the property. Existing geological maps are relatively broad in scale and provide limited detail on the structural architecture of the mineralized system. By completing a high-resolution drone magnetic survey, Western Star has acquired a cost-effective dataset that significantly improves its ability to interpret the structural and geological setting.

Preliminary interpretation identified multiple northeast-southwest trending linear features across the property, interpreted as possible fault or fracture zones that may have acted as pathways for hydrothermal fluids associated with tungsten-bearing skarn mineralization. Several areas of historical activity coincide with interpreted intrusive-carbonate contacts and magnetic lineaments, considered encouraging as tungsten skarn systems commonly develop where mineralizing fluids interact with reactive carbonate host rocks adjacent to intrusive bodies. The survey also suggests the mapped intrusive system may be more extensive than previously recognized, indicating the prospective intrusive-carbonate contact zone could extend beyond historically worked areas.

The magnetic-high and adjacent magnetic-low domains south of the historical Rowland zone represent untested geophysical features that will be evaluated as part of Phase 2 exploration. These areas may represent potential extensions of the Rowland Main zone or additional prospective skarn horizons.

Geophysics will be integrated with Phase 1 assay results, due in the coming weeks, to define the priority drill target inventory and inform Phase 2 exploration.
