WEST POINT GOLD ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT AND BOARD CHANGES; APPOINTS ANDREW BOWERING AS DIRECTOR

West Point Gold Corp. has made changes to its management team and board of directors.

Derek Macpherson, most recently executive chairman of the company, has been appointed president and chief executive officer. Mr. Macpherson has stepped down as chairman but remains a director. Quentin Mai has stepped down as president and CEO, and has resigned as a director. Mr. Mai will continue as an adviser to the company.

Andrew Bowering has been appointed as director of West Point Gold. Additionally, Anthony Paterson, current lead director, has been appointed chairman. All changes are effective Nov. 8, 2025.

"Since joining as an adviser earlier this year, I have seen first-hand the potential scale of the Gold Chain project and am confident the company is positioned for growth. With drills turning and a well-funded treasury, there's plenty of opportunity to build value in market conditions we haven't seen in years. This is exactly the kind of opportunity I look for," stated Mr. Bowering.

"Andrew brings a proven record of execution in the capital markets and building successful mining companies, including Prime Mining, which was recently acquired in a successful transaction. His network and strategic insight come at an important time as West Point Gold advances its exploration programs and works toward the next phase of growth," stated Mr. Paterson.

"We would like to sincerely thank Quentin for the work that he has done over the last year. He has played a key role in transforming West Point's shareholder base and helping to move the company to the next level. We wish him all the best in his future endeavours, and we look forward to continuing to work with him as an adviser to the company," stated Mr. Macpherson.

He has founded, financed and led teams in the pursuit of various metals, from initial exploration to production. Mr. Bowering has held senior management roles, overseeing asset acquisitions and sales, and raising over $500-million in development capital.
