Western Star Resources Reports UAV Geophysics Results at the White Star Tungsten Project

Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) has announced the results of a high-resolution UAV magnetic geophysical survey completed across the White Star Tungsten Project in Elko County, Nevada. The survey, the first modern geophysical dataset acquired over the property, was designed to refine the geological model and identify new exploration targets for tungsten-bearing skarn mineralization.

The survey processed Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI), First Vertical Derivative (1VD), Second Vertical Derivative (2VD), and Analytical Signal (AS) products. Results indicate that the historical Batholith mine and adit lie along a northwest-southeast-trending magnetic lineament within a subtle magnetic low. Several similar geophysical features were identified elsewhere on the property, suggesting additional mineralized zones.

A broad magnetic high in the western portion of the property is interpreted as a previously unmapped extension of intrusive granite (quartz monzonite) associated with tungsten-bearing skarn mineralization in the district. This interpreted intrusive body is adjacent to mapped carbonate units, defining a newly recognized area prospective for contact skarn-hosted tungsten. Multiple magnetic lineaments interpreted as fault and fracture zones may have acted as pathways for hydrothermal fluids.

Blake Morgan, CEO and President of Western Star, stated, “The White Star geophysical results provide the second component of the consolidated Jarbidge-Charleston dataset and complete the district-scale magnetic coverage that the property consolidation was intended to unlock. The interpreted intrusive body identified in the high-resolution magnetic data has generated a significant new area of interest.”

Prior to this survey, the only publicly available magnetic data for the White Star area was collected in 1967 at one-mile line spacing. The new dataset is being integrated with rock-chip and soil geochemical data currently being collected across the property. Four target zones have been defined for follow-up: the Central Kqm–Pzt contact north of the Batholith Mine, a Northern Pzt body within the northern Kqm, a southern limestone corridor hosting discrete magnetic features, and the Historical Open Pit area where contact geology may continue beneath Quaternary cover.

The White Star survey was flown to the same specifications as the recently completed Rowland UAV magnetic survey, enabling the two datasets to be processed as a single contiguous district-scale magnetic product. The combined dataset is undergoing geophysical inversion and will provide the first modern geophysical framework across the Jarbidge–Charleston tungsten footprint. This integration will support district-scale targeting between the White Star workings and the adjoining Rowland Tungsten Property.

According to the company, the geophysical results will be combined with pending geochemistry to define priority targets and inform the design of subsequent exploration. The scientific and technical information in this release was reviewed by Jasper Mowatt, a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
