Western Star Resources to Acquire Rowland Tungsten Project in Nevada
Vancouver, BC — November 5, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR)(OTC: WSRIF) has agreed to acquire the past-producing Rowland Project in Nevada’s Jarbidge mining district.
Key highlights of the Rowland Property include high-grade tungsten with values of 3.38% WO₃ reported. The mine is road accessible and located in the historical Jarbidge mining district, about 6 miles southwest of Jarbidge. The area has limestone, shale, and quartzite intruded by a quartz monzonite stock. The mine has two shallow shafts and several hundred feet of open cuts. Scheelite occurs as coarse crystals and is finely disseminated with molybdenite, powellite, pyrite, chalco- pyrite, and limonite in a garnet, epidote, quartz, and calcite skarn.
In 1943, W. J. Rowland shipped 4.5 tons of ore containing 3.38 percent WO to Metals Reserve Co. During 1954-56, about 1,000 tons of ore containing 0.5 to 1.0 percent WO was produced.
The Rowland Property is a strategic asset because tungsten is indispensable for defense, aerospace, energy, and semiconductor industries. The U.S. currently has no domestic commercial production, making it highly dependent on imports, with about 85% of the global supply controlled by China. Identified in the 1940s, this project has identifiable mineralization but remains underexplored using modern exploration techniques, aligning with U.S. policy.
Recent Executive Orders prioritize fast-tracking domestic tungsten projects, with federal grants and defense-sector support available for qualifying assets.
Under the Agreement, Western Star will acquire all rights, title, and interest in and to the underlying Option Agreement. Total consideration is CAD $60,000 and 1,000,000 common shares of Western Star Resources Inc. Milestones include increasing the total claim area by 30% or more and identifying at least three rock chip samples grading above 2.0% WO, completing drilling or trenching intersecting mineralization of at least 10 meters averaging 0.7% WO, and completing and filing a NI 43-101 or JORC-compliant resource estimate defining at least 5 million tonnes at ≥0.7% WO.
The Vendors retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Return Royalty on the Property, with Western Star having the right to buy back 1.0% for CAD $1,000,000 at any time.
The Consideration Shares issued upon closing will be subject to a four-month resale restriction expiring four months from the date of issuance.
Derrick Strickland, a qualified person, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information.
