West Point Gold posts multiple high-grade intercepts at Northeast Tyro Project, part of Gold Chain Project, Arizona
West Point Gold Corp. [TSXV: WPG; OTCQB: WPGCF; FSE: LRA0] reported results for four holes from the high-grade zone at Northeast (NE) Tyro, part of the ongoing 15,000-metre drill program at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The company is reporting assay results for four drill holes (936 m), GC25-85 through GC25-88.
Highlights: Hole GC25-87 returned 27.4 metres of 9.56 g/t gold from 71.6 metres to 99.1 metres, including 13.7 metres of 18.00 g/t Au at 79.3 metres to 93.0 metres, about 50 metres up-dip from GC25-49 (62.5m at 4.73 g/t Au) – expanding the highest-grade part of the zone up-dip.
Hole GC25-88 returned 44.2m of 5.46 g/t Au at 140.2m to 184.4m, including 18.3m of 12.04 g/t Au at 166.1m to 184.4m – expanding the high-grade zone along strike, as this is the furthest northeast hole at Tyro.
Hole GC25-85 returned 29.0m of 5.24 g/t Au at 164.6m to 193.6m, including 12.2m of 10.48 g/t Au at 176.8m to 189.0m, about 80m down-dip from hole GC25-58 which returned 32.0m of 2.01 g/t Au.
Hole GC25-86 returned 36.6m of 2.22 g/t Au at 179.8 to 216.4m about 140m down-dip from GC25-57 which returned 12.2m at 3.52 g/t Au.
Drilling continues to explore the deeper portions of the high-grade zone between the Tyro NE and Main zones, with two holes (540 m) completed with assays pending. A total of 3,769 m of the planned 15,000m program was completed in 2025.
“Drilling at NE Tyro continues to return better than expected grades with good continuity at relatively shallow depths. The high-grade zone at NE Tyro appears to continue at depth and to the northeast, suggesting the zone remains open to further expansion as we continue drilling. We expect these results to positively impact the grade profile and the overall scale of our upcoming maiden resource. Drilling continues at Gold Chain, with one rig at NE Tyro, and one at Tyro South,” stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.
All widths are downhole; true widths are approximately 50-90% of downhole widths.
The drilling of holes GC25-85 through GC25-88 continues to expand and provide improved definition for high-grade gold mineralization in the NE Tyro zone at the company’s Gold Chain project in Arizona. The four holes comprising this release, GC25-85 through GC25-88, represent 936 metres of the 3,769 metres drilled to date in the current 15,000-metre program.
West Point Gold anticipates the receipt of its Plan of Operations in early 2026, which will permit the drilling of both core and RC holes outside of the controlled patented claims, allowing for deeper tests and further exploration to the northeast and toward the Frisco Graben target area.
Along with the increased gold grades at depth, close inspection of the drill cuttings reveals an increase in varicolored chalcedony, crustiform banding, adularia and illite(?)-pyrite alteration in the wallrock.
West Point Gold is an exploration and development company focused on unlocking value across four strategically located projects along the prolific Walker Lane Trend in Nevada and Arizona, USA. The company’s near-term priority is advancing its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona.
