within 76.2m of 1.92 g/t Au, at the Tyro Main
Zone
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 6, 2025) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG)
(OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") announces strong, ongoing drill
results from its fully underway 10,000 metre (m) drill program at the flagship Gold Chain Project in
Arizona. The Company reports assay results for drill holes GC25-69 and GC25-68, further confirming the
project's growing potential.
Highlights:
Hole GC25-69 intersected 76.2m of 1.92 g/t Au including 32.0m of 3.17 g/t Au.
Hole GC25-68 intersected 85.3m of 1.38 g/t Au including 59.4m of 1.79 g/t Au.
The results indicate that the broad zone of gold-bearing quartz veins, veinlets, and breccia is
continuous, and robust, from the surface downward.
Assay results are pending for an additional 13 completed holes (approximately 1,000m).
The initial portion of the 10,000-metre drill program at Gold Chain has commenced, with 1,177m
completed across 15 holes at the Tyro Main Zone. This early phase is designed to establish the data
foundation necessary to advance the project toward its maiden resource estimate.
"These results clearly demonstrate impressive grades and confirm the ongoing expansion of the Tyro
Main Zone, successfully linking high-grade surface sampling with this year's deeper drilling. Equally
important, these results-together with the initial phase of our 10,000-metre drill program-are
generating the critical data required to bring the maiden resource at Tyro Main Zone to
surface,"
stated CEO Quentin Mai.

Summary
Holes GC25-68 and -69 are part of a Reverse Circulation (RC) program with holes generally less than
100m in depth. The goal is to define the vein's upper widths and grade over about 1km of strike (Figure
1).
Several of the holes were collared in strong quartz veining and provide grade and volume data in the
uppermost portion of the vein system which encompasses the limited historical mine workings.
Hole GC25-69
Hole GC25-69, drilled on Line 450 and about 50m northeast of GC25-68 (Figure 1), entered strong
quartz veining at 9.14m and remained in the Tyro vein system until 85.34m. The mineralized zone
contained 1.92 g/t Au with the HW portion hosting 3.17 g/t Au over 32.0m.
This hole, as seen in GC25-
68, strongly supports vein continuity between deeper holes (GC25-38 and -61) and mine and surface
exposures (Figure 3).

Hole GC25-68
Hole GC25-68 (Figure 4) was drilled on Line 400 to better define HW mineralization above the 200L and
test the vein complex immediately beneath the Tyro pit.
The results strongly support vein continuity
between deeper holes (GC23-23 and GC25-39) and mine and surface exposures.
Gold grades across
this broad interval were relatively consistent with 5.95 g/t Au as the highest grade 5- foot interval.

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.
