Executive Summary

West Point Gold Corp. announced significant gold mineralization results from the Tyro Main Zone of its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona on April 23, 2026.
Key intercepts include Hole GC26-116 with 22.9m @ 3.11 g/t Au and Hole GC26-125 with 184.4m @ 1.00 g/t Au including high-grade intervals of 10.7m @ 8.11 g/t Au.
The drilling program has been expanded to a total of 20,000m, with 16,504m completed as of the announcement date.
Assays are pending for an additional 24 holes covering Tyro Main Zone, NE Tyro, Bull 8, and Black Dyke targets.
Management confirms that results support the ongoing effort to define a maiden resource at Tyro later in 2026.
Geologically, drilling confirmed en-echelon zones of higher quartz vein density within the southern portion of the Tyro Main Zone along the N20-25E structural corridor.

Material Impact

The news is positive but consistent with the established trend of high-grade results at Gold Chain over the past 12 months, particularly following the NE Tyro discoveries earlier in 2026.
While the intercepts are robust (3.11 g/t Au), they do not represent a fundamental change in the project's scale compared to previous announcements that defined the high-grade core at NE Tyro (>10 g/t Au).
The announcement validates the C$25 million financing closed in February 2026, confirming capital is being deployed effectively toward resource definition.
Given the stock price has already rallied significantly from the $1.10 financing price to ~$1.46-$1.58 range, this news is largely priced in as part of the expected progression toward a maiden resource.
The materiality is limited by the fact that it is an incremental update within a funded program rather than a new discovery or resource estimate announcement.
