# West Point Gold Defines New Gold Zone at Gold Chain; Black Dyke Drilling Returns 36.6m of 1.04 g/t Au from Surface Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/west-point-gold-defines-new-gold-zone-at-gold-chain-black-dyke-drilling-returns--f36f1766-c11d-4780-9b5c-0bcef123fe77 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/WPG/news/6391993544876304/west-point-gold-defines-new-gold-zone-at-gold-chain-black-dyke-drilling-returns- Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-03-17T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: West Point Gold Corp. - Ticker: WPG - Exchange: TSX - Region: Arizona - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: Silver - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-15 07:02:49 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary West Point Gold has identified a new shallow gold zone at the Black Dyke target within its Gold Chain Project in Arizona. Reverse circulation drilling returned multiple intercepts, including 36.6m at 1.04 g/t Au from surface, confirming a prospective area that remains open along strike and down-dip. Reasoning: The drilling confirmed a new shallow gold-bearing breccia zone at the Black Dyke target, which is open in multiple directions and represents a second potential resource area for the Gold Chain project. - Positive factor: discovery of new gold zone - Positive factor: shallow mineralization from surface - Positive factor: zone open in multiple directions - Positive factor: meaningful milestone for project - Negative factor: grades are moderate rather than exceptional Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions certified standards, blanks, and duplicates inserted by American Assay. Evidence · text > Both certified standards and blanks were inserted on site along with duplicates **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The Black Dyke target is described as a new area 4km west of the Tyro Main Zone. Evidence · text > located four kilometres \("km"\) west of the Tyro Main Zone ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
