Ongoing Fully Funded Drill Program

VANCOUVER – West Point Gold Corp.has expanded its ongoing drill program from 15,000 metres (m) to 20,000m, provide an update on other exploration work on the project, and to provide a corporate update. Since the current program began in September 2025, the Company has drilled 11,968m. Results are pending for 23 holes representing 4,063m from the Tyro Main Zone, South Tyro, Sheep Trail, and Bull 8 targets.
Currently, there are three drill rigs at Gold Chain: two at the Tyro Main Zone and one testing and following up on step-out targets. The fully funded drill program has been expanded to a minimum of 20,000m, and drilling is expected to continue at least until the end of May 2026, potentially resulting in additional metres drilled. Permits have been received for the first Plan of Operations (POO #1) at Gold Chain, allowing for the planned deeper drilling at the Tyro Main Zone and below the high-grade zone at Northeast Tyro.
The Company has recently completed a CSAMT Survey and a Ground Gravity Survey at Gold Chain to improve targeting at multiple targets on the project, including the Frisco Graben. Additional metres are allocated to following up on recent successes at step-out targets such as the newly defined Black Dyke and additional drilling at the Tyro Main zone, in support of the planned maiden resource.
