West Point Gold Intersects 56.4m of 4.24 g/t Au, Widening the High-Grade Zone at Depth

About this update from West Point Gold Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2026) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQX: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from two drill holes within the high-grade Northeast (NE) Tyro zone at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. Hole GC26-168 was a reverse circulation ("RC") hole that intersected 56.4 metres ("m") of 4.24 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") from 242.3m, including 28.9m at 7.77 g/t. This hole was drilled as a follow-up to GC26-161, which was a core hole that intersected 68.2m at 2.20 g/t Au from 210.5m, including 34.3m at 3.57 g/t Au. These holes continue to extend the zone at NE Tyro down-dip where it remains open to depth. The previously released hole GC26-148 (see release here) suggests that the zone appears to be widening at depth. The Company is reporting assay results for two drill holes (628.5m), GC26-161 and GC26-168. Results from 19 holes representing 5,920m of the recently completed 21,079m program are still pending. All results from Tyro Main and NE Tyro are expected to contribute to the Company's upcoming maiden resource estimate to be released later in 2026. Highlights: "With these results and GC26-148, the apparent widening, along with the textures observed, suggests multiple gold mineralizing events with deposition over a greater vertical range than you would typically see in low sulphidation epithermal systems. These results further support the zone remaining open to depth," stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.
