Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 10, 2025) - West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQB: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) ("West Point Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Mark Reischman has joined as a technical advisor.
Mark's distinguished geological career spans over 40 years of working with junior and major exploration companies, primarily within the Walker Lane Trend, Nevada. Notably, Mark was Exploration Manager with Corvus Gold from 2010 to 2022 in the Bullfrog District, Beatty Nevada, overseeing all aspects of the discovery and development of the multimillion-ounce gold deposit. Subsequently, following the acquisition of Corvus in January 2022, Mark was retained by AngloGold Ashanti as Technical Advisor in the greater Bullfrog district until the end of 2023.
Prior to working with Corvus, Mark spent most of his career working in Nevada. In the mid-90s, he spent two years working as a consulting geologist for LAC Minerals and Barrick Bullfrog Mine, as well as Senior Geologist for AngloGold North America 1999-2003.
"Gold Chain is an incredibly exciting opportunity that warrants extensive and aggressive drilling across the land package to fully understand and exploit its potential," stated Mark Reischman. "There are many geological indicators that would suggest the Gold Chain package in Arizona is an analogy for the Bullfrog District that is currently being developed by AngloGold."
"Mark is one of the most experienced geologists around with boots on the ground in the Walker Lane Trend," stated Quentin Mai, CEO. "We are excited and extremely fortunate to bring on someone with Mark's extensive experience and geologic understanding of the district. His assistance has already provided additional insight and understanding at the Gold Chain Project that will help guide our programs and development."
