West Point Gold Engages VRIFY to Accelerate

Exploration and Unlock Discovery at Gold

Chain Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 7, 2025) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG)

(OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it

has engaged VRIFY Technology Inc. ("VRIFY"), the leading provider of AI-assisted mineral discovery

and 3D project visualization, to support and accelerate its exploration efforts across its Gold Chain

Project in Arizona.

West Point will harness VRIFY's full suite of products to maximize the value of its extensive datasets to

drive smarter, faster discovery outcomes. DORA, the world's only AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery

Platform, will support the Company in identifying, ranking, and validating targets using artificial

intelligence. Viz, VRIFY's dynamic 3D visualization tool, will transform stakeholder engagement and

"

Our team has always prioritized visual storytelling

," said Quentin Mai, President & CEO of West Point

Gold. "

Partnering with VRIFY allows us to take our project presentations to the next level and more

effectively showcase the potential of our Gold Chain Project to investors and stakeholders

."

With a robust drilling database, strong geophysical coverage, and a large, highly prospective land

package anchored by the advancing Tyro target, West Point is well-positioned to benefit from DORA's

ability to synthesize complex geological data into high-confidence exploration targets. The Company is

looking to maximize the return on shareholder capital by focusing exploration efforts where the

probability of success is highest.

"

We believe the use of VRIFY's AI-Assisted Mineral Discovery Platform, DORA, should help us

define and prioritize the many step-out targets we have at Gold Chain,

" said Derek Macpherson,

Executive Chairman of West Point Gold. "

The use of AI will allow us to more efficiently take advantage

of the extensive early-stage geologic work we have completed to date, hopefully accelerating our

exploration process as we work to demonstrate Gold Chain's full potential

."

VRIFY CEO and Co-Founder, Steve de Jong, added, "

West Point is a great example of the forward-

thinking teams we're excited to partner with. They understand that leveraging AI and modern

visualization isn't optional anymore, it's how the next generation of discoveries will be made.

"

With mineral exploration entering a new era driven by artificial intelligence, West Point Gold's adoption

of VRIFY reflects a broader strategic shift towards data-driven discovery, capital efficiency, and

maximizing per-share value creation for shareholders.
