Extended read
Western Star Resources is actively pursuing federal permitting for its Rowland Tungsten Property in Nevada, engaging KC Harvey Environmental to expedite the process. This initiative is a direct response to a critical U.S. defense procurement deadline set for January 1, 2027, which will restrict the import of Chinese tungsten. The move underscores a strategic effort to onshore critical mineral supply chains and reduce dependence on foreign sources, particularly from China.
