Western Star Resources CEO on 2026 drill plans; strategic tungsten positioning

Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE:WSR, OTCQB:WSRIF) CEO Blake Morgan talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s focus on advancing its exploration-stage projects as it prepares for a busy 2026 drill season. Morgan outlined the company’s two main assets: the flagship Western Star CRD (carbonate replacement deposit) project in British Columbia and a past-producing tungsten project in Nevada known as the Roland property. He noted that drill permits are already in place for the CRD project, which hosts surface-visible mineralisation including copper, gold, silver, zinc and lead. “We already have drill permits approved on that one. It’s a CRD project… and the grades we have on this property [are] astronomical,” Morgan said. On the Roland property in Nevada, Western Star sees a significant opportunity to contribute to domestic tungsten supply. Morgan highlighted that tungsten production is currently dominated by China, with no operating mines in North America. The historical grades at the Roland mine — reportedly 3% to 3.5% — significantly exceed the national average of 0.2%. The company recently launched a private placement to raise up to $1.5 million, which Morgan said is oversubscribed and expected to close imminently. Proceeds will fund geophysics, channel sampling and drill targeting ahead of expected drilling in 2026. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more interviews and updates.
