(TSXV: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (\"West Point Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has joined the Center to Advance the Science of Exploration to Reclamation in Mining (\"CASERM\"), a collaborative venture between the Colorado School of Mines (\"CSM\") and Virginia Tech. Additionally, the Company has expanded its marketing engagement with i2i Marketing Group, LLC (\"i2i\").This collaborative effort with CASERM commenced with the recent visit to the Gold Chain project by Dr. Thomas Monecke of CSM and the collection of about 50 rock samples for petrographic, fluid inclusion and geochemical studies.

Results from both these studies are pending.West Point Gold believes that CASERM provides the Company with a unique and critical opportunity to:Present the Gold Chain project's geologic and exploration models to a broad cross section of geoscientists to better identify tools to guide exploration.Access tools typically not available to junior explorers with the associated experts to better understand the gold deposition model at Tyro.Collaborate with experts in epithermal systems to decipher the geologic history of the numerous gold environments identified to date at Gold Chain.\"We are excited to join this program, as it is designed to provide us with a better understanding of gold deposition at the Gold Chain project, as West Point Gold pursues a maiden resource at Tyro,\" stated Rob Johansing, VP Exploration. Mr. Johansing continued, \"Our collaboration with CASERM provides us with many benefits not available to other junior explorers that significantly include cost effective access to advanced geologic evaluation techniques and expertise as we expand our efforts to many other large-scale targets at the Gold Chain project.\"Understanding the Tyro Vein System at the Gold Chain projectOn, May 9, 2023, West Point Gold provided a revised geologic model for the Tyro vein system based upon drilling,...
