Focus On The Tyro Main Zone Drilling Program

VANCOUVER - West Point Gold Corp. reported on the first drill results from its recently completed 1,264m (7 hole) diamond drill campaign focused on the Tyro Main Zone, at its Gold Chain Project in Arizona.

Hole GC24-30 intersected 52.25m of 1.53 g/t Au, including 36.10m of 2.02 g/t Au, from 43.50m. Hole GC24-31 intersected 50.65m of 0.53 g/t Au, from 51.30m. Both these holes intersected additional zones in the hanging wall of the deposit - 2.56m of 2.85 g/t Au, from 7.80m (GC24-30) and 4.10m of 2.17 g/t Au, from 23.00m (GC24-31), prompting infill sampling of the holes which is in progress and have the potential to expand the width of the mineralized zone.

Results confirm the exploration target at Tyro of 15.6 to 31.2 Mt at 1.5 to 2.5 g/t Au. Assays are pending for the remaining five holes representing approximately 1,025m.

"This drill program has materially advanced our understanding of the Tyro Main Zone and its structural controls. The grades returned fit West Point Gold's previously announced exploration target, while the widths, along with the new hanging wall zone, suggest the zone may be wider than first thought," said CEO, Quentin Mai. "We look forward to the balance of the results and are preparing for the next phase of drilling which is expected to follow-up on these positive results."
