Vancouver, British Columbia — February 25, 2026 — Leads & Copy — West Point Gold Corp. has announced assay results for four drill holes from the high-grade zone at Northeast (NE) Tyro, part of its Gold Chain Project in Arizona.
The company (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) is currently conducting a 15,000-meter drill program at its flagship project.
According to the release, the four drill holes, GC25-89, GC25-90, GC26-91 and GC26-93, totaled 954 meters.
Highlights from the drill results include:
The holes have extended the strike length of the high-grade zone at NE Tyro to more than 300 meters.
Hole GC26-91 returned 21.34 meters of 13.48 g/t Au from 128.0 meters to 149.4 meters, expanding the highest portion of the high-grade zone at NE Tyro to the northeast.
Hole GC25-89 returned 32.0 meters of 4.48 g/t Au from 152.4 meters to 184.4 meters, about 30 meters south of GC25-48 (41.2 meters at 4.33 g/t Au) and about 100 meters below surface vein exposures.
Hole GC26-93 returned 30.5 meters of 3.09 g/t Au from 132.6 to 163.1 meters, expanding the high-grade zone at NE Tyro along strike to the northeast.
Hole GC25-90 returned 25.9 meters of 1.23g/t Au from 256.0 meters to 281.9 meters and expands the mineralized zone at NE Tyro along strike to the southwest into an area previously considered to be weakly mineralized.
The company reports that 9,898 meters of the 15,000-meter drill program at the Gold Chain project have been completed, with assays released for 4,194 meters of drilling. Results are pending from the Tyro Main Zone, South Tyro, Red Hill Ledge, Black Dyke and Sheep Trail targets, representing 30 holes.
A third drill rig will commence drilling at Gold Chain in early March, focused on increasing the understanding of the high-grade NE Tyro zone and extending the Tyro Main Zone to depth.
West Point Gold President and CEO Derek Macpherson said the continuity and consistent high grades at NE Tyro, along with the ability to continue expanding the zone, are positive indicators for the scale potential of this zone. He added that drilling continues at Gold Chain, as the company is well funded to deliver on its dual exploration goals for 2026, of delivering a maiden resource for the Tyro Main Zone and making a discovery at one of the multiple step-out targets being tested.
The high-grade Northeast Tyro zone is anchored by a higher-grade core and remains open to depth and to the northeast along strike.
According to the release, results to date reveal that high-grade gold mineralization extends below 200 meters (below surface) and over a strike length in excess of 300 meters. Receipt of the Plan of Operations (POO) will permit drilling both core and RC holes outside the controlled patented claims, allowing deeper tests and further exploration to the northeast and toward the Frisco Graben target area.
Hole GC25-89 was designed to provide additional definition of the emerging high-grade zone at its southern end. The hole traversed the vein breccia/stockwork zone at 152.4 meters to 184.4 meters (32.0 meters) containing 4.48 g/t Au. This intersection is about 25 meters south of hole GC25-48, which contains 41.2 meters of 4.33 g/t Au, revealing good grade correlation between the two holes. The intercept’s midpoint is about 100 meters below the surface.
Hole GC25-90 was designed to explore a portion of the vein system that hosts lower grades over broader intervals. Hole GC25-90 crossed the mineralized zone about 75 meters down-dip from GC25-60 and traversed 25.9 meters (apparent width) of 1.23 g/t Au. Additional drilling is warranted in this area but must be conducted at greater depths and collared outside of the patented claims.
Hole GC26-91 was drilled from the northeast corner of the Tyro patent and oriented perpendicular to the NE-trending Tyro structure. The goal was to traverse the high-grade zone at a higher elevation than hole GC25-88 (44.2 meters of 5.46 g/t Au) but beneath hole GC25-46. Hole GC26-91 traversed a distinct quartz-adularia vein and vein breccia from 128.0 meters to 149.4 meters (21.3 meters) containing 13.48 g/t Au with an estimated true width of 11.5 meters.
Hole GC25-93 was drilled to the north from the same site as -91 to test the northeast extent of the high-grade zone. The hole encountered the vein at 132.6 meters to 163.1 meters (30.5 meters), which contained 3.09 g/t Au at about 120 meters below the surface.
