West Point Gold Drills 36.6 m of 7.35 g/t Au from 161.5 m to 198.1 m, Including 25.9 m of 9.95 g/t Au from 167.6 m to 193.5 m, Extending High-Grade Zone at Northeast Tyro

On November 25, 2025, West Point Gold announced high-grade drill results from its ongoing 10,000-metre drill program at the Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The highlight was drill hole GC25-81 at the Northeast Tyro (NE Tyro) target, which intersected 36.6 metres of 7.35 g/t gold, including a higher-grade core of 25.9 metres of 9.95 g/t gold.
According to CEO Derek Macpherson, these results exceeded expectations and successfully extended the high-grade zone discovered earlier in the year at depth. He stated the results confirm continuity and show the mineralizing system is strengthening as the company drills deeper, which has positive implications for the grade and scale of the planned maiden resource estimate. The release provided results for two other holes and noted that 2,030 metres of the 10,000-metre program have been completed.
This news is materially positive and represents a significant exploration success. The context is critical: the market has been anticipating follow-up drilling on the high-grade NE Tyro zone discovered in April 2025 (e.g., 30.48m of 9.05 g/t Au). The latest results not only confirm the high-grade nature of this zone but, importantly, extend it down-dip.
- Confirmation and De-risking: The intercept of 36.6 metres of 7.35 g/t Au is one of the best holes drilled on the property to date in terms of grade and width (gram-metres of ~269). It strongly validates the geological model and de-risks the thesis that a coherent, high-grade core exists within the larger Tyro mineralized system.
- Exceeds Expectations: While positive results were expected from this target, the grade and width are exceptional for a near-surface, potentially open-pittable deposit. The CEO's comment that the system is "strengthening as we move down-dip" is a crucial forward-looking statement that suggests the potential for further high-grade discoveries at depth.
- Progression: The news follows a series of positive results throughout 2025 that have consistently expanded mineralization. The shallow drilling reported on November 12 (e.g., 80.8m of 1.23 g/t Au) demonstrated bulk tonnage potential, and this deeper, high-grade result provides the critical high-value component needed for robust project economics. This result delivers on the company's stated plan to test the NE Tyro zone at depth and should significantly enhance the upcoming maiden resource estimate.
West Point Gold Corp. is a Canadian-based junior exploration company focused on gold projects in the Walker Lane Trend of Arizona and Nevada.
Its flagship asset is the Gold Chain Project in Mohave County, Arizona. The project is located in a historic mining district and consists of patented and unpatented lode claims. The company's primary focus has been on defining and expanding the Tyro Main Zone, a 1 km long mineralized structure. Exploration success in 2025 identified a significant high-grade shoot within this zone, referred to as the Northeast (NE) Tyro Zone. The company is aggressively drilling the project with the goal of delivering a maiden mineral resource estimate in 2026.
The company also holds the newly acquired Baxter Spring project and the Jefferson Canyon project (under an option agreement with Kinross Gold) in Nevada.
