West Point Gold Extends Gold Mineralization at NE Tyro; Drills 24.4 m of 1.63 g/t Au near surface; Commences Drilling at Tyro NE Deep

Rhea-AI Summary

West Point Gold (OTCQB: WPGCF) reported assays from three drill holes at the NE Tyro zone of its Gold Chain Project on November 5, 2025, from the ongoing 10,000 m program.

Key results: GC25-77: 24.4 m @ 1.63 g/t Au (incl. 3.0 m @ 7.14 g/t Au) and GC25-78: 22.9 m @ 1.56 g/t Au near surface; GC25-76 returned 4.6 m @ 0.35 g/t Au. Six holes (≈471 m) remain pending. Company has begun deeper drilling to extend high-grade zones and expects a maiden resource in 2026.

Positive

• GC25-77: 24.4 m at 1.63 g/t Au near surface
• GC25-77 includes 3.0 m at 7.14 g/t Au
• GC25-78: 22.9 m at 1.56 g/t Au
• Ongoing program supports planned maiden resource in 2026

Negative

• Near-surface gold-rich zone shows a gap up to 100 m
• Assay results for six holes (≈471 m) remain pending

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 5, 2025) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") announces additional drill results from its 10,000 metre (m) drill program at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The Company is reporting assay results for drill holes GC25-76 to GC25-78, representing 255 metres; the results of six holes remain pending.

Highlights:

• Hole GC25-77 intersected 24.4 m of 1.63 g/t Au, including 3.0 m of 7.14 g/t Au, less than 30 m below the surface
• Hole GC25-78 intersected 22.9 m of 1.56 g/t Au
• Hole GC25-76 intersected 4.6 m of 0.35 g/t Au
• The results for GC25-77 and -78 continue to push the gold mineralization to the northeast (Figure 2)
• Assay results are pending for an additional 6 completed holes (approximately 471 m).
• Drilling to extend the high-grade zone at NE Tyro to depth beneath holes GC25-47 to -49, and GC25-58 to GC25-60, is underway

"The shallow drill holes establish that the Tyro Main zone displays continuity of mineralization both vertically and along strike. This bodes well for the planned maiden resource, expected to be released in 2026. Additionally, drilling is underway to extend the high-grade zone at NE Tyro to depth, following up on GC25-48 - 28.96 m of 6.02 g/t Au and GC25-49 - 30.48 m of 9.05 g/t Au. We expect that success in extending this zone to depth should have a positive impact on the planned maiden resource," stated Derek Macpherson, Executive Chairman.

Summary
The initial portion of the 10,000-metre drill program at Gold Chain has been completed with 1,177 m drilled in 15 holes across the Tyro Main Zone. This early phase is designed to establish the data foundation necessary to define a maiden resource estimate that starts at surface.

The final shallow holes across the NE Tyro zone (see Table 1) were successful in defining a limit to near-surface mineralization in Hole GC25-76. The results indicate a gap in the gold-rich zone, extending up to 100 metres and centred on a pronounced bend in the vein system (Figure 1). Further to the northeast, Holes GC25-77 and GC25-78 extend near-surface mineralization to the northeast about 100 m from the NE Tyro stopes. Surface mapping and sampling have identified strong gold mineralization over about 200 m of vein strike, but drilling to date suggests that the vein system widens at depth, accompanied by an important increase in gold grades (Figure 2).

Holes GC25-77 and GC25-78
Holes GC25-77 and GC25-78 were drilled on Line 1030 (Figure 2), where surface mineralization (Trench 13: 4.7 m at 7.64 g/t Au) disappears beneath alluvium at about 100 m southwest of the Tyro patented claim endline. Both holes intercepted about 20 m of 1.6 g/t Au and better define the limit of near-surface mineralization. Deeper drilling (GC25-58 - 30.4 m at 2.1 g/t Au; Figure 3) suggests that the vein system widens at depth and may plunge steeply to the northeast toward the Frisco Mine fault, the southwest boundary to the Frisco Graben. These results support grade and width continuity in this part of the vein system. Figure 2 highlights the proposed targets that will be tested at NE Tyro during the ongoing 10,000m drilling campaign.

Qualified Person
Robert Johansing, M.Sc. Econ. Geol., P. Geo., the Company's Vice President, Exploration, is a qualified person ("QP") as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release. Mr. Johansing has also been responsible for overseeing all phases of the drilling program, including logging, labelling, bagging and transport from the project to American Assay Laboratories of Sparks, Nevada. Drillholes have a diameter of about 10cm, and samples have an approximate weight of 5 to 10kg. Samples were then dried, crushed and split, and pulp samples were prepared for analysis. Gold was determined by fire assay with an ICP finish, and over-limit samples were determined by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Silver plus 15 other elements were determined by Aqua Regia ICP-AES (IM-2A16), and over-limit samples were determined by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Both certified standards and blanks were inserted on site along with duplicates, standards and blanks inserted by American Assay. The results summarized above have been carefully reviewed with reference to the QA/QC results. Standard sample chain of custody procedures were employed during drilling and sampling campaigns until delivery to the analytical facility.
