West Point Gold hits 66.2m of 6.57 g/t Au at NE Tyro Zone

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 23, 2026) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQX: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from hole GC26-148, drilled below the high-grade Northeast (NE) Tyro Zone at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona, which intersected 66.2 metres ("m") of 6.57 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") from 219m, including 20.7m of 18.25 g/t Au.This step-out core hole successfully extended the NE Tyro Zone's high-grade mineralization to more than 250m below surface. The zone remains open at depth and along strike. Results reported herein comprise 318.8m of the recently completed 21,079m drill program.

Results from 21 holes representing 6,550m are still pending and will be incorporated into the Company's upcoming Maiden Resource Estimate (MRE) later in 2026. Highlights: Hole GC26-148 returned 66.2m of 6.57 g/t Au from 219.0 to 285.2m, including 20.7m at 18.25 g/t Au, contained in a broad stockwork vein and breccia complex. Hole GC26-148 is amongst the broadest (true width) and highest-grade intercepts drilled at NE Tyro.

This hole has successfully extended previously known mineralization beyond 250m from surface, where the zone remains open to depth. There are 7 additional holes with assays pending at this depth (below 250m) at NE Tyro. As a result of GC26-148, it is anticipated that the high-grade NE Tyro zone is likely to be open at depth following the MRE.

" This drill hole indicates that the high grades at NE Tyro continue to depth and this zone will remain open following the upcoming maiden resource. There are assays pending from additional holes at this depth from both NE Tyro and the Tyro Main Zone. This result, coupled with those that are pending, suggests that deeper drilling at Tyro will resume with the funded Fall 2026 to Sprin
