Western Star Resources (WSRIF) has begun a high-resolution drone magnetic survey at its 100%-owned Eagle Point tungsten project in Hidalgo County, New Mexico, as part of a broader push to delineate domestic tungsten resources amid tightening Chinese export controls and rising defense demand.The UAV survey covers the property at 25–50 metre line spacing, aiming to map the limestone–granite contact and magnetite-bearing tactite bodies that host scheelite mineralisation, including beneath cover, and to extend eight historically known skarn bodies along strike. Data collection is expected to finish in about three weeks, with processing and interpretation to follow, feeding into geological mapping, sampling, drill targeting and permitting ahead of a planned maiden drill program in 2026.The commentary also profiles sector players Almonty Industries (ALM), Guardian Metal Resources (GMTL), American Tungsten (TUNGF) and Vault Strategic Mining (KNXFF) as context for the emerging US-focused tungsten supply chain.
