West Point Gold Hits 66.2m of 6.57 g/t Au, Extending NE Tyro Zone to Depth
West Point Gold reported a step-out drill hole at its Gold Chain Project in Arizona that intersected 66.2 meters grading 6.57 g/t gold, including a high-grade interval of 20.7 meters at 18.25 g/t, extending the NE Tyro Zone more than 250 meters below surface.
West Point Gold Corp. has released assay results from a step-out drill hole at its Gold Chain Project in Arizona, intersecting 66.2 meters of 6.57 grams per tonne gold from 219 meters depth, including a higher-grade interval of 20.7 meters at 18.25 g/t gold. The hole, GC26-148, was drilled below the high-grade Northeast (NE) Tyro Zone and successfully extended mineralization to more than 250 meters below surface, with the zone remaining open at depth and along strike.
For precious metals traders, this result is significant as it demonstrates the potential for resource expansion at the Gold Chain Project, which could enhance the project's economic viability. The high-grade intercepts, particularly the 18.25 g/t over 20.7 meters, suggest the presence of a robust mineralized system. While this is an exploration-stage asset and not directly tradeable, positive drill results can influence investor sentiment toward West Point Gold's stock (TSXV: WPG) and the broader junior gold mining sector.

The company reported that the results comprise 318.8 meters of the recently completed 21,079-meter drill program. The NE Tyro Zone remains open at depth and along strike, indicating further potential for expansion. West Point Gold plans to continue drilling to test the zone's extensions, with additional results expected as the program progresses. Investors will watch for further assay results and any updates on resource modeling.
