West Point Gold Hits 32 m of 3.17 g/t Au at Tyro Zone, Expands District Potential
West Point Gold (TSXV: WPG; OTCQB: WPGCF) CEO Quentin Mai says the company’s latest drill results confirm the scale and grade potential of its Gold Chain Project in Arizona’s Walker Lane trend. Speaking with Kitco Mining’s Investment Trends, Mai said the team believes it is chasing “a world-class deposit,” citing an October intercept of 32 meters grading 3.17 g/t gold, part of a structure that has returned up to 9 meters of 51 g/t gold.
He said the Tyro Main Zone is just the start of a 15-kilometer mineralized system, which his team calls the “obvious target” within a broader district-scale play. Early metallurgy confirms oxide mineralization from surface, suggesting the deposit could be amenable to heap leaching, a key economic advantage in Arizona.
Backed by an $8 million financing led by VanEck, West Point is drilling the Tyro Main and South zones as part of a 10,000-meter program aimed at defining a maiden resource early next year. “We’re applying the same playbook that built Corvus, but in one of the best jurisdictions in North America,” Mai said.
