West Point Gold Corp. plans to start a 30,000-metre combined reverse circulation and core drilling program at the Gold Chain project in Arizona this month, focusing on expanding the Northeast Tyro and Tyro Main zones to depth and along strike.

The program will also target the Black Dyke, Sheep Trail, Bull 8, and district-scale Frisco Graben areas as the company advances the project toward an upcoming initial mineral resource estimate.

"Gold Chain is approaching a key milestone with its maiden resource, and this 30,000m program is designed to build on that foundation. The goal is to expand the high-grade NE Tyro deeper below 66.2 m at 6.57 g/t Au (GC26-148) while advancing Black Dyke, Sheep Trail, and the district-scale Frisco Graben target. Each represents an opportunity to grow the resource base beyond the upcoming initial estimate, which will only be based on the 20,696m drilled to date at Tyro"

— Derek Macpherson, President & CEO

At Northeast Tyro, drilling will test gold mineralization plunging toward the footwall of the Frisco Mine fault to evaluate potential extensions into the concealed Frisco Graben domain. The 2026–2027 campaign follows prior drilling that totaled 20,696 metres at Tyro, which will form the data basis for the upcoming maiden resource estimate.

In September 2026, nearby activity at Arizona Gold & Silver Inc.'s Philadelphia project also reported deeper drilling extending the continuity of the high-grade Perry Zone.
