Initial Phase of Drill Program At Gold Chain Project

VANCOUVER – West Point Gold Corp. reported on the initial phase of the 10,000 metre (m) drill program at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The Company is reporting assay results for 6 drill holes, GC25-71 to GC25-75 and GC25-79, representing 471m. Hole GC25-71 drilled 80.8m of 1.23 g/t Au, with mineralization starting only 1.5m downhole. Hole GC25-72 intersected 53.4m of 1.44 g/t Au, and Hole GC25-79 intersected 28.9m of 2.65 g/t Au on opposite sides of the same section, suggesting the mineralized zone is wider than previously thought. Hole GC25-73 intersected 51.8m of 1.44 g/t Au, revealing continuity along strike and dip above previous drilling. Drilling continues below the high-grade zone at northeast (NE) Tyro, with 3 holes completed (~700 m).
“The shallow portion of the ongoing 10,000m drill program appears to have achieved its objective to demonstrate continuity of mineralization from surface down to previous drilling and continued to confirm continuity of mineralization along strike. This has us well-positioned to complete a maiden resource in 2026. We are now drilling beneath the high-grade zone at NE Tyro and expect first results from these holes before year-end,” said Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.
