WEST POINT GOLD PROVIDES POSITIVE UPDATE ON ITS EXPLORATION TARGET AT TYRO; 10,000 M DRILL PROGRAM TO START IN SEPTEMBER AT GOLD CHAIN

West Point Gold Corp. has updated its exploration target at Tyro Main zone based on the 5,541 metres of drilling completed since releasing its maiden exploration target in January, 2024.

West Point Gold believes that the exploration target at the Tyro Main zone has the potential for 19.5 million to 31.2 million tonnes grading 2.0 to 3.0 grams per tonne gold. 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 wire frames 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 in early September, as part of its planned 10,000-metre drill campaign. The 10,000-metre program is designed to extend the Tyro Main zone to depth, infill the Tyro Main zone and test multiple compelling stepout 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 one 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," stated Quentin Mai, chief executive officer. "Our improved understanding of project geology has us well positioned to test multiple stepout targets on the project this year with our drill program starting in early September."

Tyro Main zone exploration target

The Tyro Main zone exploration target consists of the historical Tyro mine (with production from two levels of underground workings and a small slot pit) and the Decimal Hill area. The 1,000-metre extent considered in this exploration target is contained within 19.5 Mt to 31.2 Mt grading 2.0 to 3.0 g/t Au and is located entirely on three patented claims controlled by West Point Gold.

The work completed to date by West Point Gold at the Tyro Main zone includes:

• 4,963 metres of reverse circulation drilling;
• 1,264 m of diamond core drilling;
• 348 m of surface trench sampling;
• 107 surface rock chip samples;
• 56 chip channel samples from the underground workings;
• Detailed geologic mapping of the mine workings, patented claims and surrounding Bureau of Land Management claims.

The work mentioned above has allowed the company to better define the exploration target through cross-section interpretation and logged lithology, which in turn served as a foundation for the modelling of the Tyro vein and envelope wire frames. Such wire frames collectively capture almost all gold mineralized intercepts, demonstrating that the supporting geological data were useful and fairly accurate to improve the spatial definition of the exploration target, while honouring gold mineralization. The resulting exploration target confirms a nearly continuous tabular body surrounded by a mineralized quartz stockwork envelope, which combined has a footprint that may extend one kilometre along strike by 40 to 60 metres wide by 250 to 300 m deep.

The potential tonnage and grade ranges of the exploration target 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.

Coming exploration plans

Initial drilling is planned to focus on the upper extent of the Tyro Main zone, between and above previously drilled holes. This initial drilling, approximately 1,200 metres, is expected to be completed in September and is part of the broader 10,000-metre drill program planned for Gold Chain this year.

Following this initial drill program, the company will continue drilling at Tyro to extend gold mineralization along strike and to depth, particularly at northeast Tyro, where drilling returned exceptional results earlier this year. Drilling during the first half 2025 campaign was successful in better defining the vein complex along 800 m of strike and down to an elevation of 675 m above sea level or about 175 m below the surface. Additionally, the company is currently preparing drill programs at the Sunset vein, the Sheep Trail mine, the Black Dyke mine, the Gold Chain hill and Lower Union Pass corridor targets, along with follow-up drilling at the Frisco graben.

Owing to multiple targets identified, the company will be able to explore these prospective sites incrementally, which allows for a more complete response to geologic and analytical results. Additional areas, not considered to be drill ready, will be mapped and sampled in late 2025.
