WEST POINT GOLD DELIVERS MULTIPLE HIGH-GRADE INTERCEPTS AT NORTHEAST TYRO, INCLUDING 27.4M OF 9.56 G/T AU FROM 71.6M

West Point Gold Corp. has released the results for four holes from the high-grade zone at Northeast (NE) Tyro, part of the continuing 15,000-metre drill program at its flagship Gold Chain project in Arizona. The company is reporting assay results for four drill holes (936 metres), GC25-85 through GC25-88.

Highlights:

• Hole GC25-87 returned 27.4 metres of 9.56 grams per tonne gold at 71.6 m to 99.1 m, including 13.7 m of 18.00 g/t Au at 79.3 m to 93.0 m, about 50 m up dip from GC25-49 (62.5 m at 4.73 g/t Au) -- expanding the highest-grade part of the zone up dip.
• Hole GC25-88 returned 44.2 m of 5.46 g/t Au at 140.2 m to 184.4 m, including 18.3 m of 12.04 g/t Au at 166.1 m to 184.4 m -- expanding the high-grade zone along strike, as this is the farthest northeast hole at Tyro.
• Hole GC25-85 returned 29.0 m of 5.24 g/t Au at 164.6 m to 193.6 m, including 12.2 m of 10.48 g/t Au at 176.8 m to 189.0 m, about 80 m down dip from hole GC25-58, which returned 32.0 m of 2.01 g/t Au.
• Hole GC25-86 returned 36.6 m of 2.22 g/t Au at 179.8 m to 216.4 m about 140 m down dip from GC25-57, which returned 12.2 m at 3.52 g/t Au.
• Drilling continues to explore the deeper portions of the high-grade zone between the Tyro NE and Main zones, with two holes (540 m) completed with assays pending. A total of 3,769 m of the planned 15,000-metre program was completed in 2025.

"Drilling at NE Tyro continues to return better-than-expected grades with good continuity at relatively shallow depths. The high-grade zone at NE Tyro appears to continue at depth and to the northeast, suggesting the zone remains open to further expansion as we continue drilling. We expect these results to positively impact the grade profile and the overall scale of our upcoming maiden resource. Drilling continues at Gold Chain, with one rig at NE Tyro and one at Tyro South," stated Derek Macpherson, president and chief executive officer.

Summary

The drilling of holes GC25-85 through GC25-88 continues to expand and provide improved definition for high-grade gold mineralization in the NE Tyro zone at the company's Gold Chain project in Arizona. The four holes comprising this release, GC25-85 through GC25-88, represent 936 m of the 3,769 m drilled to date in the current 15,000-metre program.

Each hole is briefly described below. The core of the NE Tyro zone remains mostly open to the northeast and to depth. West Point Gold anticipates the receipt of its plan of operations in early 2026, which will permit the drilling of both core and RC holes outside of the controlled patented claims, allowing for deeper tests and further exploration to the northeast and toward the Frisco graben target area.

Along with the increased gold grades at depth, close inspection of the drill cuttings reveals an increase in varicolored chalcedony, crustiform banding, adularia and illite-pyrite alteration in the wallrock.

Hole GC25-85

Hole GC25-85 traversed the Tyro NE vein/zone about 30 m southwest of GC25-88 (44.2 m at 5.46 g/t Au) and encountered, from 164.6 m to 193.6 m (29.0 m), 5.24 g/t Au enveloping a higher-grade zone of 12.2 m at 10.48 g/t Au. The intercept's midpoint is about 200 m below the surface and without a surface expression (that is, blind).

Hole GC25-86

Hole GC25-86 was drilled about 140 m beneath hole GC25-57 and about 200 m beneath a weak surface exposure of the vein. The hole traversed a broad zone of quartz veinlets, which appeared to coalesce with depth. A mineralized zone was encountered at 179.8 m to 216.4 m (36.6 m) at 2.22 g/t Au. The quartz-chalcedony-adularia-calcite vein resembles the surrounding intercepts, and the vein package remains broad. The results indicate that the mineralized zone has coalesced into a more discrete mineralized package or vein in the relatively short distance below hole GC25-57.

Hole GC25-87

Hole GC25-87 was designed to test the NE Tyro zone between the surface and hole GC25-49 (62.5 m at 4.73 g/t Au). The hole traversed the NE Tyro structure about 65 metres below the surface and 50 m above GC25-49 from 71.6 m to 99.1 m (27.4 m) containing 9.56 g/t Au. An internal zone of higher gold grades corresponds to quartz-chalcedony-adularia-calcite vein and breccia, along with likely stockwork veining; the zone consisted of 13.7 m of 18 g/t Au. Both intercepts suggest good continuity in this area of the vein. Sections across the vein system in this area suggest a true width of 20 to 25 metres.

Hole GC25-88

Hole GC25-88 was designed to incrementally expand the limits of gold mineralization to the northeast and beneath earlier holes (GC25-45 and GC25-46), which encountered altered and weakly veined host rocks with negligible gold. A strong vein was encountered about 110 metres beneath GC25-46 from 140.2 m to 184.4 m and contained 5.46 g/t Au over 44.2 m. An internal higher-grade interval, composed of mostly quartz-chalcedony-adularia-calcite, was identified at 166.1 m to 184.4 m containing 12.04 g/t Au over 18.3 m. The overall intercept is dominated by quartz veinlets, which coalesce into a vein breccia approaching the footwall contact. The estimated true width of this zone is about 15 metres and remains open to the northeast and at depth.

Qualified person

Robert Johansing, MSc (economic geology), PGeo, the company's vice-president, exploration, is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release. Mr. Johansing has also been responsible for overseeing all phases of the drilling program, including logging, labelling, bagging and transporting from the project to American Assay Laboratories of Sparks, Nev. Drill holes have a diameter of about 10 centimetres, and samples have an approximate weight of five to 10 kilograms. Samples were then dried, crushed and split, and pulp samples were prepared for analysis. Gold was determined by fire assay with an ICP finish, and overlimit samples were determined by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Silver plus 15 other elements were determined by aqua regia ICP-AES (IM-2A16), and over-limit samples were determined by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Both certified standards and blanks were inserted on site along with duplicates, standards and blanks inserted by American Assay. The results summarized above have been carefully reviewed with reference to the quality assurance/quality control results. Standard sample chain-of-custody procedures were employed during drilling and sampling campaigns until delivery to the analytical facility.
