West Point Gold Corp. (TSX-V: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0)  is pleased to announce the results from the initial two holes of the Tyro Northeast drilling campaign, part of the currently ongoing 10,000 metre (m) drill program at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The Company is reporting assay results for two drill holes (457 m), GC25-80 and GC25-81.

Highlights:

• Hole GC25-81 returned 36.6 m of 7.35 g/t gold (Au) from 161.5 to 198.1 m, including 25.9 m of 9.95 g/t Au from 167.6 m to 193.5 m, 80 m below hole GC25-47, which returned 50.3 m of 3.76 g/t Au from 79.3 m, including 33.5 m of 5.46 g/t Au from 82.3 m.
• Hole GC25-81 extends the higher-grade zone down dip, with the deepest reported intersection in that zone now approximately 175 m below the surface.
• Hole GC25-80 intersected 44.2 m of 1.11 g/t Au from 157.0 m to 201.2 m, including 16.8 m of 2.43 g/t Au from 184.4 m to 201.2 m, below hole GC21-15, which returned 21.3 m of 2.00 g/t Au from 10.7 m.
• Drilling continues to explore the deeper portions of the high-grade zone at NE Tyro with seven holes (1,573 m) completed with assays pending.

“Our current drilling at NE Tyro has exceeded expectations,” stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO, “By stepping beneath the earlier holes, we successfully extended the high-grade zone at depth, confirming continuity and showing the system is strengthening as we move down-dip. This advancement has meaningful implications for both the grade profile and the overall scale of our upcoming maiden resource. Drilling continues at NE Tyro, and we expect to receive additional assays before year-end.”

Summary

The second portion of the ongoing 10,000 m drilling program at the Company’s Gold Chain project in Arizona is focused on expanding the higher-grade zone at NE Tyro laterally and downwards, as identified in Q2 of 2025. The initial holes in this release, GC25-80 and GC25-81, represent 457 m of 2,030 m drilled to date in this portion of the 10,000 m program.

Both holes in this release have extended gold mineralization downwards from 50 to 70 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, including GC25-47 with 50.3 m of 3.76 g/t Au and GC25-81 with 36.6 m of 7.35 g/t Au, including 25.9 m of 9.95 g/t Au (Figure 3). This coalescing of veins and veinlets is common in many epithermal vein systems. As drilling attempts to carry these grades deeper, a closer inspection of the drill cuttings reveals an increase in varicolored chalcedony, crustiform banding, adularia and illite(?)-pyrite alteration in the wallrock.

Hole GC25-81

Hole GC25-81 was designed to test about 50 metres below the gold mineralization identified in Holes GC25-47 to GC25-49 in Q2 2025 (link here). The results, shown in Figure 3, indicate coalescing of the vein package into a better-defined, discrete vein hosting significantly higher gold grades. Hole GC25-81 crossed the Tyro NE vein about 70 m below GC25-47 and about 60 m northeast of GC25-80, suggesting a widening of the zone downward and toward the northeast. Considering the vein to the south, toward GC25-60, it appears that the mineralized package widens but appears to host lower gold values. It is also noteworthy that alteration of the hanging wall rocks appears to strengthen to moderate levels of a clay-like mineral, likely illite, along with an increase in pyrite; silicification and chlorite have diminished in the vein.

Hole GC25-81 returned 36.6 m of 7.35 g/t Au, including 25.9 m of 9.95 g/t Au (Table 2). Close inspection of the RC cuttings reveals discrete quartz-chalcedony-calcite veins, locally banded, with intervening zones of breccia and/or strong gray-green chalcedony and local adularia. The highest grades, up to 21.9 g/t Au, appear to be more closely associated with the varicolored chalcedony-adularia event. It is also noteworthy that a veined and silicified rhyolite dike is present at the footwall contact of the vein (Figure 3). This suggests that the dike(s) may play an important role in guiding the upward migration of gold-bearing fluids.

Holes GC25-80

Hole GC25-80 traversed the Tyro NE zone about 60 m south of Hole GC25-80 and 80 m below GC25-60. Quartz veinlets are broadly developed in the hanging wall, with the main mineralized zone consisting of more breccia/stockwork vs discrete quartz veins. Elevated percentages of varicolored chalcedony + adularia appear to correspond to higher gold grades (up to 4.36 g/t Au). Additional drilling in this area is contemplated for this campaign to better define the relationship between a more discrete vein to the northeast and southwest toward the Main Tyro zone.

Qualified Person

Robert Johansing, M.Sc. Econ. Geol., P. Geo., the Company’s Vice President, Exploration, is a qualified person as defined by NI 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, Nevada. Drillholes have a diameter of about 10cm, and samples have an approximate weight of 5 to 10kg. 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 over-limit 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 QA/QC results. Standard sample chain of custody procedures were employed during drilling and sampling campaigns until delivery to the analytical facility.
