West Point Gold Confirms High-Grade Continuity at NE Tyro; Intersecting 62.5m at 3.1 g/t Au, Including 38.1m at 4.66 g/t Au

West Point Gold Corp. (WPG) has released assay results for two reverse circulation holes drilled at the Northeast Tyro zone of its Gold Chain Project in Arizona.

• GC26‑166 (Line 1000): 62.5 m @ 3.12 g/t Au from 233 m depth, including 38.1 m @ 4.70 g/t Au. Estimated true width 30 m. Hole located ~20 m in front of previous hole GC26‑148 (66 m @ 6.57 g/t Au).
• GC26‑163 (Line 950): 54.9 m @ 2.02 g/t Au, including 19.8 m @ 4.40 g/t Au, from ~197 m below surface. True width not stated.

These results conclude a 21,079 m drill program, with 4,907 m of assays still pending from the Tyro Main and Black Dyke areas. The company expects to release a maiden resource estimate in late 2026.

West Point Gold Corp. (WPG) is a pre-resource explorer where drill results serve as the primary value driver. The stock had already surged on the earlier world-class hole GC26-148, which returned 66 m @ 6.57 g/t, and subsequent high-grade step-outs. The market chart shows a peak near $2.09 in Feb-2026, followed by a gradual decline to $1.27-1.39, suggesting that the exceptional grades were partially priced in and that subsequent routine delineation holes have not sustained the stock price.

GC26-166 confirms continuity at slightly lower grade. This result is positive but does not constitute a new discovery, resource upgrade, or change in mine-life or scale. It is incremental rather than transformational.

West Point Gold Corp. (TSX-V: WPG; OTCQX: WPGCF) is a Canadian junior explorer with a portfolio of gold projects in Arizona and Nevada. Its flagship asset is the Gold Chain Project in Arizona, which hosts the Tyro Main and NE Tyro low-sulphidation epithermal zones. Drilling has defined a broad, high-grade vein and breccia system extending over 400 meters of strike and more than 350 meters in depth. The company expects to release a maiden resource for the project in the second half of 2026.

The company also holds other assets, including the Baxter Spring project in Nevada, where an acquisition has been completed. Baxter Spring features historic high-grade intercepts, and a 5,000-meter drill program is planned. Additionally, the Jefferson Canyon project is under option with Kinross, with permitting underway for a maiden drill program.

Financially, West Point Gold reported US$20.4 million in cash and no debt as of Q1-2026, resulting in working capital of approximately US$20.3 million following a C$25 million private placement at $1.10 per share. The company has funded its 21,079-meter drill program but carries a going-concern note in its MD&A, noting that future equity financing will be required to advance beyond resource definition. The company’s market capitalization stands at approximately C$171 million. Fully diluted with warrants, which would add approximately C$10.5 million in proceeds if exercised in-the-money, the total count includes 22.95 million warrants.
