# West Point Gold Expands Northeast Tyro to Depth and to the North, Drilling 24.4 m of 5.92 g/t Au from 120.4 m and 16.8 m of 8.3 g/t from 158.5 m *2025-12-17T07:00:00-05:00* West Point Gold Expands Northeast Tyro to Depth and to the North, Drilling 24.4 m of 5.92 g/t Au from 120.4 m and 16.8 m of 8.3 g/t from 158.5 m Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 17, 2025) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results for three holes from the high-grade zone at Northeast (NE) Tyro, part of the ongoing 15,000 metre (m) drill program at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The Company is reporting assay results for three drill holes (658m), GC25-82 through GC25-84. **Highlights:** - Hole GC25-84 returned 24.4 m of 5.92 g/t Au at 120.4 to 144.8 m, including 12.2 m of 10.51 g/t Au at 132.6 m to 144.8 m, 90 m below hole GC25-78 which returned 22.9 m of 1.63 g/t Au. - Hole GC25-83 returned 16.8 m of 8.30 g/t Au at 158.5 to 175.3 m, including 6.1 m of 17.61 g/t Au at 167.6 to 173.7 m about 45m below GC25-49 (62.5 m of 4.73 g/t Au). - Drilling continues to explore the deeper portions of the high-grade zone at NE Tyro with four holes (936 m) completed with assays pending. _"Drilling at NE Tyro continues to return better than expected grades. Importantly, grades appear to be improving at depth as the veining coalesces, typical of low-sulphidation epithermal gold systems. These results continue to demonstrate continuity of high grades, expanding the high-grade zone to depth and along strike to the northeast. We expect these results to positively impact the grade profile and the overall scale of our upcoming maiden resource. Drilling continues at NE Tyro," _stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO. **Table 1: Drill Results** | **Holes** | **From (m)** | **To (m)** | **Width (m)** | **Grade (g/t Au)** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | GC25-82 | 138.7 | 234.7 | 96.0 | 0.42 | | **GC25-83** | **158.5** | **175.3** | **16.8** | **8.30** | | **including** | **167.6** | **173.7** | **6.1** | **17.61** | | **GC25-84** | **120.4** | **144.8** | **24.4** | **5.92** | | **including** | **132.6** | **144.8** | **12.2** | **10.51** | **Note: All widths shown are downhole; true widths are approximately 60-70% of downhole widths.** [](https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/5717/278291_2e529fe224e6aaa8_002full.jpg) **Figure 1: Plan view of the Main Tyro vein showing geology and drilling conducted in 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025.

The three holes comprising this release, GC25-82 through GC25-84, represent 658 m of 3,229 m drilled to date of the 15,000 m program. All three holes in this release have extended gold mineralization to depth from 50 to 90 metres. These results, in context with previous drilling, suggest a coalescing of veins and veinlets downward and to the northeast with a marked increase in gold grades, i.e. GC25-78 with 22.9 m of 1.56 g/t Au and GC25-84 with 24.4 m of 5.92 g/t Au, including 12.2 m of 10.51 g/t Au (Figure 4). This coalescing of veins and veinlets is common in many epithermal vein systems. Along with the increased gold grades at depth, close inspection of the drill cuttings reveals an increase in varicolored chalcedony, crustiform banding, adularia and illite(?)-pyrite alteration in the wallrock. **Hole GC25-83** Hole GC25-83 traversed the Tyro NE vein/zone about 30 to 50 m below GC25-49 (62.5 m at 4.73 g/t Au), revealing a more defined vein structure with the strongest vein developed at the footwall contact, likely an important fault. The hole intersected 16.8 m of 8
