West Point Gold Intersects 21.4 m of 1.01 g/t Au in the Union Pass Fault Corridor, Unlocking Approximately 12 kms of Strike Length

Executive Summary

• West Point Gold Corp. announced initial drilling results from its Bull 8 target within the Union Pass Fault Corridor at the Gold Chain project, highlighted by a 21.4m interval at 1.01 g/t Au.
• The results validate the company's structural model that the 12km Union Pass Fault Corridor and Frisco Graben are major regional controls on gold mineralization, de-risking adjacent exploration targets.
• The Company also entered into a $250,000 USD consulting agreement with New Era Publishing Inc. (Katusa Research) for investor relations and marketing services.

Key Details

• Drill Intercepts (Bull 8 Target):
• Hole GC26-136: 21.4m at 1.01 g/t Au (18m true width) from 71.6m to 93.0m.
• Hole GC26-130: 12.2m at 0.41 g/t Au from 6.1m to 18.3m.
• Hole GC26-132: 7.6m at 0.35 g/t Au from 57.9m to 65.5m, including 9.1m at 0.22 g/t Au from 89.9m to 99.0m.
• Hole GC26-126: 64.0m at 0.12 g/t Au from 118.9m to 182.9m.
• Hole GC26-141: 3.1m at 0.25 g/t Au from 36.6m to 39.6m.
• Hole GC26-128: No significant values.
• Program Status: 20,116m completed to date across the Gold Chain project. Pending results from Black Dyke, Tyro Main, and NE Tyro zones representing 35 holes (7,697m).
• Geological Context: Bull 8 is located ~6km NW of the Tyro zone. The Union Pass Fault Corridor spans a 12km strike length and acts as a controlling structure for the Frisco Graben. Surface sampling revealed gold values >2 g/t Au. Mineralization is hosted in sheared/brecciated Precambrian granite and associated with dike contacts.
• Marketing/IR Agreement: Engaged New Era Publishing Inc. (doing business as Katusa Research) for media relations and investor communication services. Term: 3 months. Fee: $250,000 USD, payable upfront. No securities issued. Subject to TSXV approval.
• QA/QC & Lab: Samples analyzed by American Assay Laboratories (Sparks, NV). Gold determined by fire assay with ICP finish; over-limit by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Silver + 15 elements by Aqua Regia ICP-AES. Standard chain of custody and QA/QC protocols followed.

Notable Quotes

• "The significance of the results in GC26-136 has less to do with the significant gold values intersected and more to do with the structural setting. The Union Pass Fault Corridor, and the associated Frisco Mine fault are major regional structural features with approximately 12km of demonstrated strike length on Gold Chain. Exploration success at Bull 8 supports the Company's view that these major features, which also control the Frisco Graben, appear to have played an important role in the mineralizing events at Gold Chain. We believe these results de-risk other targets along the Union Pass Fault Corridor, including the Frisco Graben," stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.
