Grades continue to remain strong as evidenced in hole GC26-140, where an 18.3 metre (\"m\") interval grading 6.05 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\") was returned. Holes reported herein represent step-outs of up to 140m to the northeast of previously reported results. High-grade mineralization intersected has now increased the volume of mineralization by adding over 100m along strike and 100m to depth. The high-grade NE Tyro Zone has a strike extent of over 400m and projects to greater than 300m depth while still remaining open in all directions. To date, 17,536m of the ongoing drill program at the Gold Chain project has been completed. Results are pending from the Tyro Main Zone, NE Tyro, Bull 8 and Black Dyke targets, representing 29 holes (5,424m).Highlights:Strike length of the high-grade zone at NE Tyro extended to 400m of strike length (Figure 1) with significant (i.e. 7.83 g/t Au) values up to 300m below the surface.Hole GC26-140 returned 18.3m (approximately 17.5m true width) of 6.05 g/t Au from 181.4m to 199.6m beneath a broad sand-filled wash between the NE Tyro zone and the Frisco Mine fault, a bounding structure of the Frisco Graben target.Hole GC25-151 returned 35.1m of 2.23 g/t Au from 167.6m to 202.7m, about 75m northeast of GC26-140 and about 150m below surface alluvium.Currently, all three rigs (2 RC, 1 core) are drilling across the Tyro Main and NE Tyro targets, increasing West Point Gold's understanding of the Tyro deposit along strike, at depth and internally.\"The continued expansion of the high-grade zone at NE Tyro bodes well for the maiden resource. Additionally, as this zone expands towards the Frisco Graben, it increases the probability of the Frisco Graben hosting a gold deposit. It appears that the consistency of grade and structure, both along strike and at depth, suggests that we are unlikely to close off this zone...
