Western Star Resources Inc. (CSE: WSR) (OTC: WSRIF) (FRA: 4K2) has appointed Garland Scott to its board of directors effective September 11, 2026. Scott brings 26 years of experience in financial services, business development, and strategic consulting, having previously held senior roles at Bank of America and Goldman Sachs. His expertise in working with financial advisors and high-net-worth clients, as well as delivering institutional investment solutions, is expected to strengthen the company's strategic direction.
Scott's appointment comes as Western Star seeks to revitalize North America's tungsten supply. The company is advancing its entry into the U.S. market through past-producing tungsten assets in historically important mining districts. Tungsten is a critical mineral essential for industrial and defense applications, and Western Star aims to participate in the growing need for secure domestic supply. Scott's financial background will be instrumental in helping the company take its next step forward, according to CEO Blake Morgan.
In addition to Scott's appointment, Western Star has entered into an Investor Awareness Agreement with Market Equities Limited (MEL). The agreement, dated September 11, 2026, includes branding services, communications, advisory, and general consulting. MEL will provide SEO, digital media campaigns, media consulting, business development, multimedia services, and project management. MEL will also write and distribute weekly ticker tag articles highlighting the company in sector-based analysis, as well as news-based tags for new events. The fee is $100,000 USD for a two-month term, subject to acceptance by the Canadian Securities Exchange. The agreement may be renewed at the end of the initial term. MEL and Western Star are unrelated parties operating at arm's length, and neither MEL nor its principals have any interest in the company's securities.
Morgan also indicated that updates regarding assays on the Rowland, White Star, and Eagle Point properties will be forthcoming. These updates could provide further insight into the company's exploration progress and potential resource value.
The dual announcements reflect Western Star's efforts to bolster both its leadership and market visibility as it positions itself in the critical minerals space. With Scott's extensive financial experience and the investor awareness campaign, the company is aiming to attract attention from investors and stakeholders interested in the tungsten supply chain.
