Western Star Resources Announces Drone Magnetic Survey Results at Eagle Point Tungsten Project, Improving Drill Target Confidence

Vancouver, British Columbia — November 11, 2026 — Leads & Copy — Western Star Resources Inc. has announced key results from a high-resolution drone magnetic survey conducted at its wholly-owned Eagle Point Tungsten Project in Hidalgo County, New Mexico. The survey successfully mapped the contact between intrusive granite and Horquilla Limestone, providing crucial data for identifying the prospective horizon for tungsten-bearing skarn mineralization beneath shallow cover.

The interpreted contact, which is the target for mineralization, extends north-west from historical workings across the western portion of the property. This magnetic interpretation has been integrated into the Company's three-dimensional geological model, informing the design of a planned 17-hole drill program.

Blake Morgan, CEO and President of Western Star, stated, "The drone survey has done exactly what we needed it to do at Eagle Point. The skarn we mapped in August sits on the granite–limestone contact, but most of that contact is hidden under shallow cover. The magnetics now show us where it goes, and it runs for kilometres north-west beneath the cover. With the contact mapped and the 3D model updated, we are going into the maiden drill program with a much clearer picture of where to put the holes."

The survey covered approximately 4.9 square kilometers over the southern and western areas of the Eagle Point claims. Processing and interpretation were completed by Warren Hughes, P.Geo., of East Coast Consulting. The results revealed a broad, arcuate magnetic high interpreted as granite, bordered by a magnetically quiet domain corresponding to the Horquilla Limestone. The sharp gradient between these domains is believed to approximate the skarn-hosting granite–limestone contact.

This interpreted contact has been traced for approximately 3 kilometers, curving from the north-eastern part of the survey area south-west across the western part of the property, where it lies beneath cover and is not visible at the surface. The historical Eagle Point workings and the primary skarn exposure sampled in August 2026 are located at the southern end of this interpreted contact, establishing a direct link between the magnetic data and known scheelite mineralization.

The planned 17-hole, approximately 1,850-meter drill program has been positioned along this interpreted contact. Six of these holes will step out up to approximately 400 meters north-west of the historical workings to test the contact beneath talus cover. Assay results from 23 samples collected in August 2026 are still pending and will be incorporated with the magnetic data and the 3D model to refine drill targets.

Tungsten skarns typically form where granitic intrusions interact with carbonate sequences. Hydrothermal fluids from the cooling intrusion react with limestone to create skarn, within which scheelite, the main tungsten mineral, is deposited. The contact between the intrusion and the carbonate host is thus the primary exploration focus.

At Eagle Point, previous mapping identified scheelite-bearing skarn along the contact between granite and Horquilla Limestone. The exposed contact is steeply dipping, but extensive cover obscures much of its extent and geometry. Mapping this contact beneath cover was the main objective of the drone survey.

The magnetic data indicate the contact extends for approximately 3 kilometers through the surveyed area. Historical trenches in the western part of the property also lie within this contact zone and have not been the subject of recent exploration.

The magnetic interpretation has been integrated into the Company’s Leapfrog Geo three-dimensional model, supporting the planned drill program. The drill holes are designed as shallow, closely spaced tests of the steeply dipping skarn contact.

The pending assay results from the August 2026 samples will be integrated with the magnetic interpretation, geological mapping, and the 3D model to finalize drill targets. Mapping and sampling will be expanded north-west along the interpreted contact, and drilling logistics and permitting are being advanced.

Scientific and technical information in this release was reviewed by Jasper Mowatt, MIMMM, MAusIMM, a consultant to the Company and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Mowatt is not independent of the Company.

The UAV magnetic survey was conducted by AJ Mining LLC, with data processing and interpretation by Warren Hughes, P.Geo., of East Coast Consulting. Magnetic surveys measure physical rock properties and do not directly detect tungsten, as scheelite is not magnetic. Confirmation of interpretations requires drilling. Samples LH705 and the LH700–LH711 suite were not collected under the Company's supervision, and the Qualified Person has not verified the sampling or analytical procedures.

Western Star Resources is a mineral exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring, and advancing mineral properties, with a strategic emphasis on tungsten and critical minerals in the United States. The Company is advancing past-producing tungsten assets in Nevada and New Mexico, including the Eagle Point Tungsten Project.
