# Western Star Advances 17-Hole Eagle Point Drill Program Following Strong First Modern Tungsten Assays Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/western-star-advances-17-hole-eagle-point-drill-program-following-strong-first-m--a00df604-6060-4547-927c-3ca3eef4b4bd Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/WSR.CN/press-releases/4930577518569693 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-10-07T07:30:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: 2026-10-07T08:03:01.774Z Atlas analysis updated: 2026-10-07T08:03:01.774Z - Company: Western Star Resources Inc. - Ticker: WSR.CN - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: New Mexico - Primary commodity: Tungsten - Secondary commodities: Tin - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-10-07 08:03:02 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Western Star Resources reported the first modern tungsten assays from its Eagle Point Tungsten Project in New Mexico, featuring grab samples up to 0.55% WO3 and a continuous channel sample of 0.11% WO3 over 13.1 feet. The results, which include confirmed scheelite, will guide a planned 17-hole drill program to test the steeply dipping skarn contact. Reasoning: The release reports the first modern tungsten assays from the Eagle Point project, providing high-grade surface samples and channel intercepts that define targets for an upcoming 17-hole drill program. - Positive factor: First modern assays from a historical property - Positive factor: Consistent tungsten presence in 14 of 23 samples - Positive factor: High-grade grab samples up to 0.55% WO3 - Positive factor: Scheelite confirmed via UV examination - Positive factor: Clear targets identified for upcoming drill program - Negative factor: Grab samples are selective and not representative of grade or width - Negative factor: No independent field standards, blanks, or duplicates inserted in the sample stream - Negative factor: Extensive talus cover may obscure contact Facts used in scoring: 3 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions ALS Geochemistry \(accredited to ISO/IEC 17025\) and QP sign-off by Jacob Anderson. Evidence · text > analysed by lithium borate fusion ICP-MS \(ALS method ME-MS85\), a total digestion suitable for scheelite. **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The project is positioned as a domestic tungsten resource in the US, leveraging historical production context. Evidence · text > The only recorded production was shipped during the Second World War. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
