Western Star Resources Announces Drill Program at Rowland Tungsten Property
Mining activity in Nevada has intensified as companies capitalize on rising gold futures prices. Western Star Resources Inc., among other mining firms, is focusing its efforts on the historic Rowland Tungsten Property in Elko County with a planned six-hole drill program. The initiative aims to explore tungsten deposits using modern exploration techniques and historical data. The company's strategy involves drilling near existing infrastructure and past workings, leveraging recent geological surveys and soil anomalies for target identification. Two primary zones—Rowland Main and Northern Zone B—are being prioritized based on magnetic inversion models and rock-chip assays that showed promising tungsten content. The drill program is designed to test shallow mineralization and identify the bedrock source of high-grade tungsten samples. Permitting processes are underway, with environmental assessments progressing for approval by regulatory bodies such as the U.S. Forest Service. While no new assay results have been released yet, Western Star Resources remains optimistic about confirming multiple zones of potential mineralization.
