West Point Gold posts drill results for Tyro Main Zone, Gold Chain Project, Arizona

West Point Gold Corp. [TSXV: WPG; OTCQB: WPGCF; FSE: LRA0] reported drill results from the Tyro Main Zone at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. All the holes drilled intersected significant gold mineralization highlighted by 22.9 metres at 3.11 g/t gold. Results reported in the release are from seven reverse circulation (RC) drill holes (1,419m), part of the recently expanded 20,000-metre drill program.

These holes were drilled into the southern portion of the Tyro Main Zone and further confirm our interpretation of grades and structural controls within the zone. To date, 16,504 metres of the ongoing drill program at the Gold Chain project has been completed, with assays released for 1,419m of drilling. Results are pending from the Tyro Main Zone, NE Tyro, Bull 8 and Black Dyke targets, representing 24 holes (4,087m).

Highlights: Hole GC26-116 returned 22.9 metres of 3.11 g/t Au from 102.1 metres to 125.0 metres. Hole GC26-120 returned 9.1 metres of 2.57 g/t Au from 125.0 metres to 134.1 metres, expanding gold mineralization to the north and to depth.

Hole GC26-125 returned 184.4 metres of 1.00 g/t Au from the surface and included 10.7 metres of 8.11 g/t Au from 96.0 to 106.7 metres and 35.1 metes of 1.31 g/t Au from 106.7 to 141.7 metres. This hole was drilled nearly parallel to the vein system’s strike to confirm that gold mineralization in this portion of the Tyro Main Zone is composed of several en-echelon zones of greater quartz vein density.

Currently, all three rigs (2 RC, 1 core) are drilling across the Tyro Main and NE Tyro targets, increasing West Point Gold’s understanding of the Tyro deposit along strike, at depth and internally.

“Drill results from the Tyro Main zone continue to demonstrate this zone’s potential over its plus one-km strike length. Confirmation of these en-echelon zones within the southern portion of the Tyro Main zone is expected to help with grade optimization in the ongoing effort to define a maiden resource at Tyro later this year. We continue to aggressively drill Gold Chain as we approach the completion of the current 20,000-metre drill program. Results are pending from multiple step-out targets, including holes focused on expanding the high-grade zone at NE Tyro to the northeast,” stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.

Holes GC26-116, GC26-118, GC26-120, GC26-122, GC26-124, GC26-125 and GC26-127 were designed to confirm internal trends within the Tyro Main Zone defined by higher gold grades and vein concentrations.

The current effort is to define this mineralized structural corridor to a depth of 300 metres below the surface vein exposures and identify internal heterogeneities in width and grade. Current drilling is on schedule and focused on the Tyro Main Zort to define a maiden resource in late 2026.

GC26-116: This hole was designed to traverse the entire Tyro Main Zone and encountered 22.9 metres of 3.11 g/t Au. The true width of this intercept should be about 18m hosted in Precambrian granite.

GC26-118: Hole GC26-118 was designed to drill northward to test continuity between the Tyro Main and Northeast zone. A broad zone of anomalous gold values was traversed, but all values were less than 0.7 g/t Au.

GC26-120: This hole was designed to traverse the entire Tyro Main Zone, where previous drilling suggests that the mineralized package has diminished in width. The hole encountered 9.1 metres at 2.57 g/t Au from 125.0 to 134.1 metres.

GC26-122: Hole GC26-122 was designed to test the model by drilling northerly at a shallow angle (-55 degrees) and encountered four distinct mineralized intervals.

GC26-124: This hole was drilled due north from the top of Decimal Hill to provide additional testing of the footwall limit upon mineralization. The hole was collared in strong chalcedony-dominant veins and breccia, but quickly traversed the footwall structure beyond which little veining was observed.

GC26-125: Hole GC26-125 was drilled in close proximity to the intersection with the White Spar fault and was oriented NE and parallel to the Tyro Structural Corridor’s trend. The hole was moderately inclined (50 degrees) and designed to traverse all internal, mineralized zones. The hole encountered continuous veins and veinlets and cut 184m (0 – 184.4m) at 1.00 g/t Au, including 10.7 metres at 8.11 g/t Au adjacent to 35.1 metres at 1.31 g/t Au.

GC26-127: This hole was drilled in close proximity to hole GC26-125 but was oriented more perpendicular to the internal mineralized zones and achieved similar results to GC26-125. The hole cut 88.6 metres at 0.80 g/t Au, including 16.8 metres at 2.14 g/t at 111.3 to 128.0 metres.

West Point Gold is an exploration and development company focused on projects along the Walker Lane Trend in Nevada and Arizona. The company’s near-term priority is advancing its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona.
