Western Star Resources launches normal course issuer bid

Vancouver, British Columbia – June 26, 2026 - TheNewswire – Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) (the "Company" or "Western Star") announces that the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") has accepted the Company's notice of intention to commence a normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). Under the NCIB, the Company may purchase for cancellation up to 3,842,295 common shares of the Company, being 10% of the Company’s public float, during the twelve-month period commencing July 2, 2026 and ending July 2, 2027, or such earlier date as the Company completes its purchases pursuant to the NCIB. Purchases under the NCIB may be made through the facilities of the CSE and/or alternative Canadian trading systems at prevailing market prices, in accordance with applicable securities laws and CSE policies.

All common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled. As set out in the NCIB, the Company has appointed Haywood Securities Inc. as its purchasing dealer and trader for the purposes of carrying out the NCIB. The Board of Directors and management of the Company believe that, from time to time, the market price of the Company's common shares may not adequately reflect their underlying value.

Accordingly, the Company believes that the repurchase of common shares under the NCIB represents an appropriate use of available financial resources and is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The timing and amount of any purchases under the NCIB will be determined by management, subject to applicable laws, market conditions, and CSE requirements. The Company is not obligated to acquire any specific number of common shares under the NCIB, and purchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
