West Point Gold Provides Summary of Transformative 2025 and 2026 Outlook

The news release dated January 5, 2026, provides a comprehensive summary of West Point Gold’s (WPG) 2025 achievements and its strategic roadmap for 2026. Key highlights from 2025 include the completion of 9,131 meters of drilling at the Gold Chain Project in Arizona, which successfully identified a high-grade zone at Northeast (NE) Tyro. The company significantly expanded its portfolio by acquiring the Baxter Spring Project in Nevada and raised C$13 million through a combination of a private placement and warrant exercises. As of December 31, 2025, the company maintains a strong cash position of C$7.4 million. For 2026, WPG plans to increase its drilling activity to 15,000 meters, aiming to deliver a maiden mineral resource estimate (MRE), conduct further metallurgical testing, and advance permitting for its Nevada assets.

• Operational Execution: The 2025 program validated the "grade-at-depth" thesis at the Gold Chain Project. Intercepts such as 7.35 g/t Au over 36.6m (GC25-81) and 8.3 g/t over 16.8m (GC25-83) demonstrate that the system is strengthening as drilling moves deeper. This is a material de-risking event for the upcoming maiden resource.
• Treasury Strength: The company ended 2025 with C$7.4 million. Crucially, C$3.0 million of this came from warrant exercises at C$0.478 in late 2025, indicating strong shareholder support and a "self-funding" mechanism that limits the need for highly dilutive equity raises at current prices.
• Strategic Expansion: The acquisition of Baxter Spring (Nevada) for 13.5 million shares adds a second advanced-stage asset. While this increased the share count, it provides geographic diversification into the Manhattan Mining District and provides a "pipeline" of projects to maintain news flow.
• Management Alignment: The December 23, 2025, grant of 4.2 million options at C$1.18 suggests management sees current levels as a baseline for future growth, though the volume of the grant is substantial and increases the potential for future dilution.

West Point Gold Corp. focuses on gold exploration in the Walker Lane Trend of Arizona and Nevada. Its flagship is the Gold Chain Project in Mohave County, Arizona. The project features low-sulphidation epithermal mineralization. The primary target is the Tyro Main Zone, a 1km-long structure that has shown broad intervals of mineralization from surface and high-grade shoots at depth. The project benefits from being on patented ground, which significantly simplifies the permitting process compared to federal lands.
