- West Point Gold reported shallow gold intercepts from all five follow-up holes at Black Dyke, including 7.6 metres grading 2.22 g/t gold, as it evaluates a potential satellite target southwest of Tyro.
- West Point Gold reported results from five reverse-circulation holes at the Black Dyke target within its Gold Chain Project in Arizona. Hole GC26-144 returned 7.6 metres grading 2.22 g/t gold from 62.5 metres, GC26-146 returned 16.8 metres at 0.90 g/t from 71.6 metres, and GC26-143 returned 6.1 metres at 1.49 g/t from 54.9 metres.
- The company said all five holes encountered anomalous gold and that the follow-up program totalled 603.4 metres. The drilling forms part of a broader 21,079-metre 2026 campaign, while the reported Black Dyke mineralization remains less than approximately 75 metres from surface.
What happened
West Point Gold reported results from five reverse-circulation holes at the Black Dyke target within its Gold Chain Project in Arizona. Hole GC26-144 returned 7.6 metres grading 2.22 g/t gold from 62.5 metres, GC26-146 returned 16.8 metres at 0.90 g/t from 71.6 metres, and GC26-143 returned 6.1 metres at 1.49 g/t from 54.9 metres.
The company said all five holes encountered anomalous gold and that the follow-up program totalled 603.4 metres. The drilling forms part of a broader 21,079-metre 2026 campaign, while the reported Black Dyke mineralization remains less than approximately 75 metres from surface.
West Point Gold also acquired historic records covering 74 reverse-circulation holes drilled by Western States Minerals from 1986 to 1992, together with references to 57 earlier air-core and non-core holes. The records include historical high-grade intercepts roughly 200 metres southwest of the current drilling.
Those historical results have not been independently verified and do not meet current NI 43-101 reporting standards. They are useful for target generation, but the current program—not the historic records—must establish continuity, geometry and grade under modern quality controls.
Why this matters
Black Dyke now has a modern five-hole follow-up dataset in addition to the main Tyro drilling focus, giving the project a second area that can be tested for scale.
The shallow position could simplify follow-up drilling, but no mineral resource has been defined at Black Dyke.
How to evaluate the update
The key test is whether step-outs connect the current intercepts into a coherent mineralized body with supportable true widths.
Historic high-grade references should remain target-generation information until confirmed by modern drilling and assays.
Execution and risk considerations
Drill intercepts do not establish an economic resource, and reported widths may differ from true widths.
Historical records can contain incomplete location, sampling and quality-control information.
What to watch next
- Additional Black Dyke step-out holes and modern confirmation of historical targets.
- Geological interpretation of the Black Dyke structure and estimated true widths.
- The planned maiden resource work at Tyro and how Black Dyke fits the wider Gold Chain strategy.
Cornerstone perspective
Black Dyke is now a credible follow-up target, but the value of the update is optionality rather than a second resource. The next evidence must show scale and continuity under modern standards.
