WEST POINT GOLD EXPANDS NORTHEAST TYRO TO DEPTH AND TO THE NORTH, DRILLING 24.4 M OF 5.92 G/T AU FROM 120.4 M AND 16.8 M OF 8.3 G/T FROM 158.5 M

West Point Gold Corp. has released the results for three 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 three drill holes (658 metres), GC25-82 through GC25-84.

Highlights:

• Hole GC25-84 returned 24.4 metres of 5.92 grams per tonne gold at 120.4 to 144.8 m, including 12.2 m of 10.51 g/t Au at 132.6 m to 144.8 m, 90 m below hole GC25-78, which returned 22.9 m of 1.63 g/t Au.
• Hole GC25-83 returned 16.8 m of 8.30 g/t Au at 158.5 to 175.3 m, including 6.1 m of 17.61 g/t Au at 167.6 to 173.7 m, about 45 m below GC25-49 (62.5 m of 4.73 g/t Au).
• Drilling continues to explore the deeper portions of the high-grade zone at NE Tyro with four holes (936 m) completed, with assays pending.

"Drilling at NE Tyro continues to return better-than-expected grades. Importantly, grades appear to be improving at depth as the veining coalesces, typical of low-sulphidation epithermal gold systems. These results continue to demonstrate continuity of high grades, expanding the high-grade zone to depth and along strike to the northeast. We expect these results to positively impact the grade profile and the overall scale of our upcoming maiden resource. Drilling continues at NE Tyro," stated Derek Macpherson, president and chief executive officer.

Summary

These results follow the continuing 15,000-metre drilling program at the company's Gold Chain project in Arizona, which is focused on expanding the higher-grade zone at NE Tyro laterally and downward, as identified in Q2 2025. The three holes comprising this release, GC25-82 through GC25-84, represent 658 m of 3,229 m drilled to date of the 15,000-metre program.

All three holes in this release have extended gold mineralization to depth from 50 to 90 metres. These results, in context with previous drilling, suggest a coalescing of veins and veinlets downward and to the northeast with a marked increase in gold grades, that is, GC25-78 with 22.9 m of 1.56 g/t Au and GC25-84 with 24.4 m of 5.92 g/t Au, including 12.2 m of 10.51 g/t Au. This coalescing of veins and veinlets is common in many epithermal vein systems. 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 GC25-83

Hole GC25-83 traversed the NE Tyro vein/zone about 30 to 50 m below GC25-49 (62.5 m at 4.73 g/t Au), revealing a more defined vein structure, with the strongest vein developed at the footwall contact, likely an important fault. The hole intersected 16.8 m of 8.30 g/t Au at 158.5 to 175.3 m, including 6.1 m of 17.61 g/t Au.

Hole GC25-84

Hole GC25-84 was drilled to test the vein system about 90 m below Hole GC25-78, which traversed 22.9 m of 1.56 g/t Au. This hole encountered a more discrete, compact mineralized package composed of quartz-calcite-adularia vein from 120.4 m to 144.8 m (24.4 m) containing 5.92 g/t Au. Quartz veinlets and breccia give way to vein and breccia toward the footwall contact with 6.1 m at 15.1 g/t Au. Elevated percentages of varicoloured chalcedony plus adularia appear to correspond to higher gold grades (up to 25.1 g/t Au).

The strengthening or consolidation of the vein at the footwall contact has been observed in other surrounding holes. The results indicate that the mineralized zone has coalesced into a more discrete mineralized package or vein in the relatively short distance of less than 150 metres.

Hole GC25-82

Hole GC25-82 was designed to test the deeper projection of a broad zone of quartz-calcite veinlets observed in hole GC25-60 (50.3 m at 1.29 g/t Au) about 65 m deeper into the vein system. A broad zone of veining was encountered from 138.7 m to 234.7 m (96.0 metres) at 0.42 g/t Au. These results, in conjunction with GC25-60, suggest that the NE Tyro zone is horse tailing as it approaches the bend where mapping, surface sampling and drilling have identified, but not defined, a stepover into the Tyro Main zone. Additional drilling will be needed to better define the extent of this broad, low-grade zone.

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 transport 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 overlimit 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.
