# West Point Gold Grows Second Target at Gold Chain; Black Dyke Returns 7.6 m of 2.22 g/t Au Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/west-point-gold-grows-second-target-at-gold-chain-black-dyke-returns-7-6-m-of-2--d4d404eb-4be1-456f-8790-146dc0e66611 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/WPG/news/7964066567269637/west-point-gold-grows-second-target-at-gold-chain-black-dyke-returns-7-6-m-of-2- Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-08-11T11:00:00.000Z 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 - Extracted: 2026-09-15 06:33:29 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.40 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary West Point Gold has reported shallow gold drill results at the Black Dyke prospect, part of its Gold Chain Project in Arizona. Highlights include 7.6m at 2.22 g/t Au, with the company noting that results are consistent with recently acquired historical data. Reasoning: The drilling confirms shallow gold mineralization at a second target \(Black Dyke\) within the Gold Chain project, supporting the potential for a satellite resource. - Positive factor: extension of mineralization at Black Dyke prospect - Positive factor: consistent results with historical high-grade data - Positive factor: shallow intercepts \(<75m\) - Positive factor: QA/QC protocols disclosed - Negative factor: historical data is NI 43-101 non-compliant - Negative factor: true widths not explicitly stated \(only percentage provided\) Facts used in scoring: 3 ## 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 **Nearology Play** Polarity: neutral Definition: Value premise rests on proximity to a known deposit rather than own results. Why it applies: The company is using historical data and proximity to the Tyro Main Zone to target the Black Dyke prospect. Evidence · text > 4 kilometres \("km"\) west of the Tyro Main Zone ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 3. Some facts used in scoring do not have a stored record. ## Drill Results (3) ### GC26-143 [Link to this fact](https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/west-point-gold-grows-second-target-at-gold-chain-black-dyke-returns-7-6-m-of-2--d4d404eb-4be1-456f-8790-146dc0e66611#fact-drill-facts-0) Gold Chain · gold #### Identity - Hole ID: GC26-143 - Project: Gold Chain - Commodity: gold - Region: usa\_az - Reported Region: usa\_az - Ticker: WPG #### Geometry - Grade: 1.49 - Grade Unit: g/t - Intercept: 6.1 m - From: 54.9 m - To: 61 m - Intercept Depth: 54.9 m #### Classification - Sample Type: drill - Group ID: GC26-143:54.9-61 - Mining Method: unknown #### Location - Location: Black Dyke - Loc.

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.
