Additional Drill Results From Gold Chain Project

VANCOUVER - West Point Gold Corp. reported on drilling from its ongoing reverse circulation drill program at the Tyro Main Zone, Gold Chain Project, Arizona. This release contains the assays for drill holes GC25-50 to GC25-52, totalling 460 metres. Assays are pending for 12 additional drill holes totalling 2,760 metres.

All three drill holes intersected near-surface gold mineralization. Results from these three holes continue to support the previously announced exploration model. The geological and analytical results to date suggest that the emerging resource is hosted by damage zones variably developed between the Tyro Hanging Wall and Foot Wall structures which, in turn, hosted multiple mineralizing pulses.

To date, drilling at Tyro has returned meaningful gold mineralization in 85% of the drill holes, with 62% returning greater than 20 gram-metre intervals (grade x width). Assays are pending for an additional 12 completed drill holes (approximately 2,760m) including the first four scout drill holes testing the Frisco Graben. Drilling has been completed with a total of 5,363 metres being drilled in this program.

"As West Point Gold works to gather the data for a maiden resource at Tyro, a portion of this drill program has included testing the limits of the gold mineralization, the internal geologic controls and better definition of the events responsible for the gold mineralization", stated CEO Quentin Mai. "We are looking forward to the results from the remaining 12 drill holes, including the first holes into the Frisco Graben, and holes stepping laterally from GC25-47 (33.52m at 5.46 g/t Au), GC25-48 (28.96m at 6.02 g/t Au), and GC25-49 (30.48m at 9.05 g/t Au) where we have identified a 100m wide high grade zone open at depth."
