West Point Gold intersects 21.4 m of 1.01 g/t Au at Union Pass, 12 km strike

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 4, 2026) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQX: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from its property-wide target testing program. The initial drilling campaign into the Union Pass Fault Corridor at the Bull 8 target returned significant gold values highlighted by a 21.4 metre ("m") broad interval of gold ("Au") mineralization at 1.01 grams per tonne ("g/t"). The Bull 8 target is approximately 6 kilometres ("km") northwest ("NW') of the Tyro zone, outside of where the company is working on its upcoming maiden mineral resource estimate ("MRE").

The Union Pass Fault is a major regional structural feature, with several associated faults mapped and sampled along its 12km strike length on the property. Initial drilling into the Union Pass Fault Corridor was targeted at Bull 8, which has several historical prospect pits and trenches. West Point Gold completed surface mapping and sampling in the area, which revealed a broad northwest-trending zone of highly prospective mineralization; rock types hosted within gold-bearing structures that have returned gold values greater than 2 g/t Au.

Bull 8 is on the northwest portion of the Union Pass Fault Corridor, shown to be a controlling structure of the Frisco Graben. To date, 20,116m of the ongoing drill program at the Gold Chain project has been completed. Results are pending from the Black Dyke, Tyro Main, and NE Tyro zones representing 35 holes (7,697m).

Highlights: Hole GC26-136 returned 21.4m (18m true width) at 1.01g/t Au from 71.6m to 93.0m within a broadly mineralized envelope. Hole GC26-130 returned 12.2m of 0.41g/t Au from 6.1m to 18.3m (Figure 2), identifying an extensive near surface lower grade zone. The structural corridor that hosts the Bull 8 prospect also is one of the cont
