(TSXV: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) (\"West Point Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it plans to expand the current reverse circulation (\"RC\") drill program at its Gold Chain Project in Arizona.

The expanded program will be funded by proceeds received from recent warrant exercises. The expanded program plans to continue drilling the northern extension of Tyro and complete an initial test of the Frisco Graben target.Press Release Highlights:The Frisco Graben is a large-scale, covered, low-sulphidation epithermal gold target.The Frisco Graben is approximately 4km in length and 1km wide.The ongoing drill program has been expanded to 5,000 metres from 3,000 metres.Assays are pending from 2,113 metres of completed drilling (13 holes).\"We would like to thank our current shareholders for their continued support.

Strong hydrothermal alteration along the extent of the graben, especially at the intersection with the Tyro vein system (Figure 1), argues for concealed potential, as presented in Figure 3.
