Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 28, 2025) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") announces additional drill results from its 10,000 metre (m) drill program at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The Company is reporting assay results for drill holes GC25-65 to -67 and GC25-70, further confirming the project's growing potential.
Highlights:
- Hole GC25-70 intersected 82.4m of 1.61 g/t Au, including 9.1m of 8.37 g/t Au. The hole was collared in mineralization with the high-grade zone 39.6m downhole.
- Hole GC25-65 intersected 6.1m of 0.98 g/t Au but was lost in a historical mine working.
- Hole GC25-67 intersected 16.7m of 0.71 g/t Au.
- Hole GC25-70 results are consistent with adjacent reverse circulation (RC) and core drill holes:
- GC25-69 (RC) with 76.2m of 1.92 g/t to the south.
- GC24-30 (core) with 89.5m of 1.08 g/t Au, including 36.0m at 2.02 g/t Au (Figure 2).
- Mineralization started at surface in these 4 holes.
- Assay results are pending for an additional 9 completed holes (approximately 725m).
The initial portion of the 10,000-metre drill program at Gold Chain is complete, with 1,177m completed across 15 holes at the Tyro Main Zone. This early phase is designed to establish the data foundation necessary to define a maiden resource estimate that starts at surface.
"These results continue to support previous drilling by linking broadly mineralized outcrops at surface with the previously released drill results from the Tyro Main Zone at depth. The next holes to be drilled will focus on expanding the high-grade zone at northeast (NE) Tyro to depth and along strike. This drilling is underway," stated CEO Quentin Mai.

Notes: All widths shown are downhole; true width is approximately 55% of downhole width.

Summary
Holes GC25-65, -66 and -67 were drilled across the southernmost extent of the Tyro Main Zone at or adjacent to the intersection with the White Spar fault (Figure 1). Quartz veins and cemented breccia are widespread but generally contain less than 1 g/t Au. It is postulated that the White Spar fault is an intra-mineral fault with a significant component of post-mineral movement. Gold grades across the fault are diminished, which may reflect downward displacement of the gold zone. Hole GC25-67 was drilled in the Main Tyro Zone and in the immediate footwall of the White Spar fault. Gold mineralization here has been strongly dislocated by post-mineral faulting, resulting in highly variable drill results.
Hole GC25-70
Hole GC25-70 was drilled on Line 500 (Figure 2) and reveals widespread, and locally strong, quartz veinlets, veins and breccia from the surface down to 82.4m with a grade of 1.61 g/t Au. These results are consistent with adjacent holes: GC25-69 with 76.2m of 1.92 g/t to the south and GC24-30 (core) with 52.25m of 1.53 g/t Au below (Figure 2); the results for GC25-71 (to the north) are pending. The goal is to define the vein's upper widths and grade over about 1km of strike (Figure 1) by providing grade and volume data in the uppermost portion of the vein system, which encompasses the limited historical mine workings. These results support grade and width continuity in this part of the vein system.

Qualified Person
Robert Johansing, M.Sc. Econ. Geol., P. Geo., the Company's Vice President, Exploration, is a qualified person ("QP") as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release. Mr. Johansing has also been responsible for overseeing all phases of the drilling program, including logging, labelling, bagging and transport from the project to American Assay Laboratories of Sparks, Nevada. Drillholes have a diameter of about 10cm, and samples have an approximate weight of 5 to 10kg. Samples were then dried, crushed and split, and pulp samples were prepared for analysis. Gold was determined by fire assay with an ICP finish, and over-limit samples were determined by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Silver plus 15 other elements were determined by Aqua Regia ICP-AES (IM-2A16), and over-limit samples were determined by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Both certified standards and blanks were inserted on site, along with duplicates, standards and blanks inserted by American Assay. The results summarized above have been carefully reviewed with reference to the QA/QC results. Standard sample chain of custody procedures were employed during drilling and sampling campaigns until delivery to the analytical facility.
