Extension Of Gold Mineralization At NE Tyro

VANCOUVER – West Point Gold Corp. reported on the drill program at its Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The Company is reporting assay results for drill holes GC25-76 to GC25-78, representing 255 metres; the results of six holes remain pending.
“The shallow drill holes establish that the Tyro Main zone displays continuity of mineralization both vertically and along strike. This bodes well for the planned maiden resource. Additionally, drilling is underway to extend the high-grade zone at NE Tyro to depth, following up on GC25-48 – 28.96 m of 6.02 g/t Au and GC25-49 – 30.48 m of 9.05 g/t Au. We expect that success in extending this zone to depth should have a positive impact on the planned maiden resource,” stated Derek Macpherson, Executive Chairman.
The initial portion of the 10,000-metre drill program at Gold Chain has been completed with 1,177 m drilled in 15 holes across the Tyro Main Zone. This early phase is designed to establish the data foundation necessary to define a maiden resource estimate that starts at surface.
The final shallow holes across the NE Tyro zone were successful in defining a limit to near-surface mineralization in Hole GC25-76. The results indicate a gap in the gold-rich zone, extending up to 100 metres and centred on a pronounced bend in the vein system. Further to the northeast, Holes GC25-77 and GC25-78 extend near-surface mineralization to the northeast about 100 m from the NE Tyro stopes. Surface mapping and sampling have identified strong gold mineralization over about 200 m of vein strike, but drilling to date suggests that the vein system widens at depth, accompanied by an important increase in gold grades.
Holes GC25-77 and GC25-78 were drilled on Line 1030, where surface mineralization (Trench 13: 4.7 m at 7.64 g/t Au) disappears beneath alluvium at about 100 m southwest of the Tyro patented claim endline. Both holes intercepted about 20 m of 1.6 g/t Au and better define the limit of near-surface mineralization. Deeper drilling (GC25-58 – 30.4 m at 2.1 g/t Au) suggests that the vein system widens at depth and may plunge steeply to the northeast toward the Frisco Mine fault, the southwest boundary to the Frisco Graben. These results support grade and width continuity in this part of the vein system. Figure 2 highlights the proposed targets that will be tested at NE Tyro during the ongoing 10,000m drilling campaign.
