Whitestar Resources Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in South America. The company had a portfolio of copper-gold projects in the Atacama mining region in Chile, as well as held mineral exploration licenses in Western Australia that were prospective for uranium and lignite.
The company changed its name from Whinnen Resources in December 2011. In late 2014, Whitestar Resources was the subject of a reverse takeover by Spookfish.
