Western Star Resources lines up drilling across US tungsten projects

Join us as we speak with Blake Morgan, CEO and director of Western Star Resources (CSE:WSR), about the latest developments across the company’s tungsten and critical minerals projects in Nevada and New Mexico, US, including upcoming drilling programs and the pathway towards production.

Key topics discussed:

  • White Star and Rowland drill targets: Western Star has identified targets across two past-producing Nevada properties, with approximately 5,000 feet of drilling planned between them
  • 6km of surface skarn: Soil sampling and modern exploration have helped establish the scale of the mineralised system, with drilling planned to test targets for potential ‘high-grade’ results
  • Eagle Point pathway to production: A 17-hole drilling program is planned in New Mexico, targeting resource definition, metallurgical testing, and progress towards potential government grant funding

About the guest and company:
Blake Morgan leads Western Star Resources, a critical minerals exploration company focused on advancing past-producing tungsten assets in the US and Canada. The company aims to strengthen domestic supply chains and support growing demand from defence, aerospace, and advanced technologies. 

Disclosure: Mining.com.au may hold shares in Western Star Resources.
