WPG · Price

Executive Summary

  • West Point Gold reports strong assay results from two drill holes (GC25‑68 and GC25‑69) in the Tyro Main Zone of its Gold Chain Project, confirming a continuous high‑grade gold zone.
  • Hole GC25‑69 intersected 76.2 m @ 1.92 g/t Au (including 32.0 m @ 3.17 g/t Au); Hole GC25‑68 intersected 85.3 m @ 1.38 g/t Au (including 59.4 m @ 1.79 g/t Au).
  • The early phase of a 10,000 m drill program (1,177 m completed to date) is generating data needed for a maiden resource estimate at Tyro Main Zone.

Key Details

  • Drill Program: 10,000 m total planned; 1,177 m completed across 15 holes in the Tyro Main Zone.
  • Hole GC25‑69:
  • Total intersect: 76.2 m @ 1.92 g/t Au.
  • High‑grade interval: 32.0 m @ 3.17 g/t Au (from 9.1 m to 41.1 m depth).
  • Additional high‑grade sub‑interval: 10.7 m @ 5.62 g/t Au (19.8 m–30.5 m).
  • Hole GC25‑68:
  • Total intersect: 85.3 m @ 1.38 g/t Au.
  • High‑grade interval: 59.4 m @ 1.79 g/t Au (from 25.9 m to 85.3 m).
  • Assay Methodology: Fire assay with ICP finish; QA/QC procedures followed, including standards, blanks, and duplicates.
  • Pending Results: Assays for an additional 13 completed holes (~1,000 m) are forthcoming.
  • Geological Context: Intercepts confirm continuity of gold‑bearing quartz veins, veinlets, and breccia from surface downward; supports linkage between historic mine workings, surface sampling, and deeper drilling.
  • Qualified Person: Robert Johansing, VP Exploration, QP under NI 43‑101, reviewed and approved technical content.

Notable Quotes

“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… generating the critical data required to bring the maiden resource at Tyro Main Zone to surface,” – Quentin Mai, CEO.
