Western Star Resources Submits DIBC Application for Tungsten Exploration in Nevada
Western Star Resources Inc. has filed with the U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium to explore tungsten at its Rowland property in Nevada, amid rising prices above $3,000/MTU. The company's upcoming drill program is critical as the U.S. prepares to restrict foreign tungsten sources, emphasizing the need for domestic supply alternatives.

Western Star Resources Inc. submitted a proposal to the U.S. Defense Industrial Base Consortium, focusing on tungsten from its Rowland Tungsten Property in Nevada. A modern exploration program, set to begin in 2026, includes systematic rock sampling and a high-resolution UAV magnetic survey to refine geological interpretations and identify additional mineralization targets.
The property has documented historical production and contains over 17 historical workings across two kilometers of mineralization. With the U.S. poised to implement procurement restrictions on foreign tungsten by January 1, 2027, Western Star's initiatives could significantly impact domestic supply and market positioning ahead of the deadline.
