[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia, February 27, 2025 – TheNewswire - Westward Gold Inc. (CSE: WG, OTCQB: WGLIF, FSE: IM50) (“Westward” or the “Company”) is pleased to outline its plans for the 2025 exploration season at its 100%-owned flagship Toiyabe Hills Property situated along Nevada’s Cortez Trend (“Toiyabe Hills”, or the “Property”). Toiyabe Hills is a +60 square-kilometer land package comprised of 737 contiguous, unpatented mining claims administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). Multiple targets within the Campfire Target Complex (“Campfire”) have been identified, de-risked and are primed for drilling under a Phase 1 program. The 2025 program objectives are: 1) at Campfire, complete up to 5,000 meters of reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling across approximately 10 holes starting in late Q2 / early Q3, to test new, high-value greenfield targets; 2) expand the soil and rock-chip geochemistry and gravity coverage on recently-acquired ground (refer to Westward’s press release dated January 15, 2025); and 3) expand the 1:5000 scale Anaconda-style geological mapping and surface sampling with a focus on developing new drill targets in the footwall of a district-scale, mantle-tapping structural corridor (the “Hilltop Corridor”). Kelly Cluer, Director, noted: “The information gleaned from our systematic 2024 programs has revealed new and compelling large-scale features that had been overlooked in the decades preceding the consolidation of this ground, and has elevated Campfire to must-drill status. This intersection of previously-independent claim blocks contains a substantial gravity alteration cell developed in lower-plate carbonate rocks, in the immediate footwall of the Hilltop Corridor, a massive north-south structural corridor that runs the entire extent of the Property. We’ve also identified lamprophyre dikes within the Hilltop Corridor, marking a compelling crustal crack. The structural setting of this target is reminiscent of the many significant discoveries made in the footwall of the Post Fault on the Carlin Trend.” Key Highlights for 2025: At Campfire, Phase 1 drilling will test up-plunge and down-plunge stratigraphic and structural targets developed in the Campfire Anticline (see Figures 1 and 2 below). An estimated 10 holes, with collar spacings of approximately 500 meters, will be drilled us...
