Western Star Resources submitted an application to the U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium to supply tungsten, a critical mineral, from its past-producing Rowland property in Nevada. This move aligns with U.S. efforts to reduce reliance on Chinese tungsten ahead of a 2027 procurement ban. The company also secured a €200,000 investor relations mandate in Europe and launched a Canadian tax-advantaged financing, positioning itself well across U.S., European, and Canadian markets. The maiden drill program is set for 2026, with key developments expected in the second half of the year.
