Executive Summary

West Point Gold announced drill results from hole GC26-148 at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona.
The intercept returned 66.2m of 6.57 g/t Au from 219m, including 20.7m of 18.25 g/t Au.
Results successfully extended the high-grade Northeast (NE) Tyro Zone mineralization beyond 250m below surface, with the zone remaining open at depth and along strike.
Downhole widths are approximately 55% of true widths, yielding an estimated true width of ~35m.
The company has completed 318.8m of its 21,079m drill program to date.
21 holes representing 6,550m remain pending and will be incorporated into the upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate (MRE) later in 2026.
A funded Fall 2026 to Spring 2027 drill program is anticipated to resume deeper drilling at Tyro.

Material Impact

The June 23, 2026 release is a direct continuation of the aggressive 20,000m+ drilling campaign that has been ongoing since late 2025.
The intercept aligns with the geological model and previous high-grade step-out results (e.g., April 28 and June 9 releases), confirming the continuity of the NE Tyro zone to depth.
The stock has already priced in significant exploration progress, rallying from ~$0.30 in mid-2025 to a high of $2.09 in February 2026 before consolidating.
This announcement does not introduce a new discovery, change the project's economic viability, or alter the timeline for the maiden resource estimate. It is an incremental validation of existing targets.
The market impact is expected to be limited, serving as a routine positive update that maintains exploration momentum ahead of the H2 2026 MRE.
