Western Star Resources acquires Eagle Point tungsten mine, New Mexico

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - June 15, 2026 - Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) (the “Company” or “Western Star”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest in the past-producing Eagle Point Tungsten Mine (the “Property” or “Eagle Point”), located in the Granite Pass area of the Little Hatchet mining district, Hidalgo County, New Mexico, USA. The acquisition expands Western Star’s growing portfolio of past-producing United States tungsten assets into a new and highly prospective district. The Eagle Point was advanced during periods of strategic tungsten demand during the 1950s, when the United States Government agreed to codevelop the property under a Defense Minerals Exploration Administration (“DMEA”) contract [1] .

The estimate is historical in nature and should not be relied upon. Recent sampling by the USGS returned grades of up to 27.6% WO₃ [2] , suggesting historical work significantly underestimated the grade potential.

Key Highlights 100% interest acquired in the past-producing Eagle Point tungsten project, comprising 24 lode mining claims (GP 1 to GP 24) in the Granite Pass area, Hidalgo County, New Mexico.   Past Production where approximately 1,800 tons of scheelite-bearing tactite-skarn were mined and shipped from the property.   U.S. Government examinations estimated approximately 150,000 – 200,000 tons of s
