Western Star mobilises high-resolution drone magnetic survey at Eagle Point

Vancouver, Canada - September 2, 2026 – TheNewswire - Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) (the “Company” or “Western Star”) is pleased to announce the mobilisation of a geophysical field crew to its 100%-owned Eagle Point tungsten project, Hidalgo County, New Mexico, to complete a high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) magnetic survey.

The survey will aim to cover the property at 25 to 50m line spacing with the objective of defining the geometry and extent of the limestone–intrusive contact and the magnetite-bearing tactite bodies that host scheelite mineralisation, including beneath cover, and to extend the eight skarn bodies known from historical workings along strike.

Blake Morgan, the CEO and President of Western Star, stated, “ Given the promising results obtained from the drone magnetic surveys at Rowland and Whitestar, we are moving forward with this strategy at Eagle Point. The only existing geophysics covering the area is coarse-resolution, widely spaced regional government data. By utilizing the drone, we expect to map out the prospective limestone-granite contact in much greater detail.

With the ongoing Eagle Point exploration program exceeding expectations so far, we wanted to immediately add that next layer before our maiden drill program in 2026. We also expect assays back from our second-phase exploration program at Rowland and Whitestar, alongside an update on the ongoing Eagle Point program. ”

Highlights:

Property-wide, high-resolution UAV magnetic survey commenced at Eagle Point.

Same survey methodology and processing workflow that delivered the district-scale three-dimensional inversion at the Company’s Rowland and White Star properties in Nevada.

Survey designed to map the skarn–intrusive contact on the property, most of which has never been tested with modern geophysics.

Data acquisition expected to be completed in approximately 3 weeks, with processed products and interpretation to follow.

Results will be integrated with the Company’s planned geological mapping and sampling program to prioritise targets for drill testing and to support the drill-permitting process
