Western Star Resources (CSE:WSR) has engaged with Dahrouge Geological Consulting to assist in evaluation and future exploration across its past producing tungsten assets in Nevada and New Mexico.
Dahrouge Geological is a North American mineral exploration, consulting, and project management group. The company provides geological, logistical, and project management services to the global mining and mineral resource industry.
CEO Blake Morgan says Dahrouge has been reviewing and analysing the technical data at the Eagle Point Mine in New Mexico in order to define drill targets across the known surface mineralisation and to consolidate all the data into a technical presentation and model.
“Working closely with our existing geological technical team, the intermediate goal is to develop a comprehensive program to drill the historical non-compliant resource,” Morgan says.
“The team will then move towards a mineral resource estimate after our initial maiden drill program in 2026.”
Dahrouge certified professional geologist Jacob Anderson adds that the company is “excited” to work with Western Star to gain a better understanding of the geology and mineralisation at Eagle Point.
“Dahrouge will work aggressively to advance the understanding of Eagle Point’s resource potential, while helping to de-risk and expand the mineral resource of the project,” Anderson says.
Swooping in on Eagle Point
Western Star acquired the Eagle Point Tungsten Mine in mid-June 2026. Eagle Point has a long history of examination, with a documented record of discovery and production.
First discovered in 1940, the mine has produced 1,800 tonnes of ore that was shipped during World War II at a grade of 0.5% tungsten oxide.
Tungsten is considered indispensable for defence, aerospace, energy, and advanced manufacturing applications. The US currently has no domestic commercial tungsten production and is highly dependent on imports, with 85% of global supply controlled by China.
Western Star is a mineral explorer and developer focused on critical minerals in the US and Canada.
