West Point Gold Corp. (TSX-V: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) announces strong, ongoing drill results from its fully underway 10,000 metre drill program at the flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The Company reports assay results for drill holes GC25-69 and GC25-68, further confirming the project’s growing potential.
Highlights:
The initial portion of the 10,000-metre drill program at Gold Chain has commenced, with 1,177m completed across 15 holes at the Tyro Main Zone. This early phase is designed to establish the data foundation necessary to advance the project toward its maiden resource estimate.
“These results clearly demonstrate impressive grades and confirm the ongoing expansion of the Tyro Main Zone, successfully linking high-grade surface sampling with this year’s deeper drilling. Equally important, these results-together with the initial phase of our 10,000-metre drill program-are generating the critical data required to bring the maiden resource at Tyro Main Zone to surface,” stated CEO Quentin Mai.

Summary
Holes GC25-68 and -69 are part of a Reverse Circulation (RC) program with holes generally less than 100m in depth. The goal is to define the vein’s upper widths and grade over about 1km of strike (Figure 1). Several of the holes were collared in strong quartz veining and provide grade and volume data in the uppermost portion of the vein system which encompasses the limited historical mine workings.
Hole GC25-69
Hole GC25-69, drilled on Line 450 and about 50m northeast of GC25-68 (Figure 1), entered strong quartz veining at 9.14m and remained in the Tyro vein system until 85.34m. The mineralized zone contained 1.92 g/t Au with the HW portion hosting 3.17 g/t Au over 32.0m. This hole, as seen in GC25-68, strongly supports vein continuity between deeper holes (GC25-38 and -61) and mine and surface exposures (Figure 3).

Hole GC25-68
Hole GC25-68 (Figure 4) was drilled on Line 400 to better define HW mineralization above the 200L and test the vein complex immediately beneath the Tyro pit. The results strongly support vein continuity between deeper holes (GC23-23 and GC25-39) and mine and surface exposures. Gold grades across this broad interval were relatively consistent with 5.95 g/t Au as the highest grade 5- foot interval.

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.
