Positive Update On Exploration Target AT Tyro

VANCOUVER – West Point Gold Corp. has updated its exploration target at Tyro Main Zone based on the 5,541m of drilling completed since releasing its maiden exploration target. West Point Gold believes that the Exploration Target at the Tyro Main Zone has the potential for 19.5 to 31.2 million tonnes (Mt) grading 2.0 to 3.0 g/t Au. This updated Exploration Target is based on the 6,227 metres of drilling completed to date, along with geological mapping, surface trenching and underground geochemical sampling. The tonnage range of the Exploration Target is based on the volumes of modelled wireframes including the Tyro vein envelope as well as the mineralized outline.
The potential tonnage and grade ranges are conceptual in nature. Currently, there is insufficient exploration drilling to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the Exploration Target being delineated as a mineral resource.
Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that it plans to resume drilling this month, as part of its planned 10,000 m drill campaign. The 10,000 m program is designed to extend the Tyro Main Zone to depth, infill the Tyro Main Zone, and test multiple compelling step-out targets, primarily the Sunset vein and follow-up drilling at Frisco Graben.
“Our drill campaigns at the Tyro Main Zone have delivered an improvement of the Exploration Target, particularly with respect to gold grade. The Tyro Main Zone and associated Exploration Target only represent 1 kilometre of a 3.4 kilometre structure. Tyro remains open to the northeast towards Frisco Graben, the southwest towards the Sunset vein and at depth, notably below the northeast, which returned broad high-grade gold intercepts earlier this year,” said Quentin Mai, CEO. “Our improved understanding of project geology has us well-positioned to test multiple step-out targets on the project this year with our drill program starting in early September.”
