By the end of July we should have all the drill results out.\"\n\nHe discussed drill results that were announced on June 23 stating, \"Hole\nGC26-148 is one of the best holes we have drilled; 66.2 metres of 6.57 grams\nper tonne gold.\n\nHe continued: \"What is important is where it is. It's about 250 meters of\nvertical depth below surface; it is one of the deepest holes we have put in on\nthe property. That depth gives us confidence that this can go deeper.\"\n\nBy industry standards, this is a tier-one intercept for a junior explorer\nadvancing toward its maiden resource. Its combination of strong grade,\nsubstantial width, and demonstrated continuity at depth is particularly\nvaluable, as it underscores the openness of the NE Tyro zone and supports\nfurther resource growth at Gold Chain.\n\nEvery successful deep intercept has implications beyond exploration success.\nBecause the company expects to publish its maiden resource later this year,\nthese results help define what will likely remain outside the initial\nestimate. Investors often focus as much on what is left open after a maiden\nresource as what is included within it.\n\nThree consecutive releases demonstrated that broad, multi-gram gold\nmineralization continues from approximately 250 to 350 metres below surface.\n\nJune 23 Highlights (https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/ejbMxUQXp4):\n\nHole GC26-148 returned 66.2m of 6.57 g/t Au from 219.0 to 285.2m, including\n20.7m at 18.25 g/t Au, contained in a broad stockwork vein and breccia\ncomplex. It is amongst the broadest (true width) and highest-grade intercepts\ndrilled at NE Tyro.\n\nThis hole has successfully extended previously known mineralization beyond\n250m from surface, where the zone remains open to depth. There are 7\nadditional holes with assays pending at this depth (below 250m) at NE Tyro.\n\n\"This drill hole indicates that the high grades at NE Tyro continue to depth\nand this zone will remain open following the upcoming maiden resource. There\nare assays pending from additional holes at this depth from both NE Tyro and\nthe Tyro Main Zone. This result, coupled with those that are pending, suggests\nthat deeper drilling at Tyro will resume with the funded Fall 2026 to Spring\n2027 drill program,\" stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.\n\nThe July 9 results reinforced that GC26-148 was not an isolated high-grade\nintersection. Instead, they demonstrated that comparable widths and grades\npersist across multiple drill sections at depths of roughly 250 metres below\nsurface, increasing confidence that the NE Tyro zone represents a continuous\nmineralized system rather than a localized high-grade shoot.\n\nJuly 9 Highlights (https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/87aX4Fm1BG):\n\nHole GC26-168 (RC), drilled about 20m below GC26-161, returned 56.4m of 4.24\ng/t Au from 242.3m to 298.7m, including 28.9m at 7.77 g/t Au. The TW is\nestimated to be 30m.\n\n\"With these results and GC26-148, the apparent widening, along with the\ntextures observed, suggests multiple gold mineralizing events with deposition\nover a greater vertical range than you would typically see in low sulphidation\nepithermal systems. These results further support the zone remaining open to\ndepth,\" stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.\n\nIf confirmed through additional drilling, multiple mineralizing events may\nindicate a larger and more vertically extensive hydrothermal system than is\ntypically seen in low-sulphidation epithermal deposits. That interpretation\ncould have significant implications for future exploration beneath the planned\nmaiden resource.\n\nJuly 14 Highlights (https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/y4bVRIy04W):\n\nWest Point Gold reported additional drill results extending the zone to\napproximately 350 metres below surface. Standout results include hole GC26-169\nwith 51.9 meters at 2.5 g/t gold, including 21.4 meters at 4.72 g/t, while\nother sections delivered consistent mineralization that remains open both at\ndepth and along strike to the northeast.\n\nConsistent mineralization at increasing depth can materially expand the\npotential scale of a deposit. Every successful step-out reduces geological\nuncertainty while increasing the potential volume available for future\nresource estimates.\n\nHole GC26-169 intersected 51.9m at 2.5 g/t Au, including 21.4m at 4.72 g/t Au,\nbeginning approximately 300m below surface;\n\n\"Drilling at NE Tyro continues to demonstrate consistent grades and widths.\nThis set of results also confirms consistent mineralization in multiple\nsections and bodes well for the pending maiden resource. As we move towards\nthe Frisco Graben, we have been able to define the gold zone in areas with\nlittle to no surface expression. Drilling continues to validate the depth\npotential in this area, as we have demonstrated gold mineralization vertically\nover 300m at NE Tyro, supporting our view that NE Tyro remains open at depth.\nWe remain on track to deliver the maiden resource at Tyro later this year,\"\nstated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.\n\nTaken together, the June and July drill campaigns suggest that West Point Gold\nhas shifted from proving the existence of the Northeast Tyro zone to defining\nits scale. With drilling now extending mineralization to approximately 350\nmetres below surface and the system remaining open in multiple directions.\nAttention now shifts to two key catalysts: the remaining assay results and the\ncompany's maiden resource estimate later this year.\n\nLooking to the future in the Exploring Mining Podcast\n(https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/1KaRxHQM8z), CEO Derek Macpherson said\nthe next drilling program will commence September 2026-May 2027.\n\n\"Next year, we will find the limits of Tyro.
