West Point Gold Corp. (WPG:TSXV; WPGCF:OTCQB) entered the week with a decisive shift in direction: Quentin Mai has stepped down as CEO, and a new investor-driven leadership group has arrived. The company announced on November 10 that Mai had resigned but will continue as an advisor, and that renowned venture capitalist Andrew Bowering has been appointed as Director.

In a note published on November 10, Chen Lin of What Is Chen Buying? What Is Chen Selling? delivered his opinion on what veteran mining financier Andrew Bowering's new position in the company signals.

Bowering is "looking for the next home run with his and his friend/family money," Chen wrote. He notes that Bowering visited the project recently and loved it, and assesses Quentin Mai's departure as a sign that "[Mai] was too successfully running WPG and now big whales want it, and he was pushed out." The change, in his view, indicates a runway for aggressive value creation. Chen added the stock to his scorecard, calling WPG "a relatively low-risk multi-bagger from here."

Bowering has raised over US$500M in development capital and is actively involved in other companies in both the electronics and precious metal sectors.

Furthermore, West Point released assay results for new drilling on November 25, 2025, noting that the high-grade zone was extended at depth, with the highest grades up to 21.9 g/t Au.

Other highlights included:

• Hole GC25-81 returned 36.6 m of 7.35 g/t gold (Au) from 161.5 to 198.1 m, including 25.9 m of 9.95 g/t Au from 167.6 m to 193.5 m, 80 m below hole GC25-47, which returned 50.3 m of 3.76 g/t Au from 79.3 m, including 33.5 m of 5.46 g/t Au from 82.3 m.
• Hole GC25-81 extends the higher-grade zone down dip, with the deepest reported intersection in that zone now approximately 175 m below the surface.
• Hole GC25-80 intersected 44.2 m of 1.11 g/t Au from 157.0 m to 201.2 m, including 16.8 m of 2.43 g/t Au from 184.4 m to 201.2 m, below hole GC21-15, which returned 21.3 m of 2.00 g/t Au from 10.7 m.

In the release, the President and CEO, Derek Macpherson, stated, "Our current drilling at NE Tyro has exceeded expectations . . . By stepping beneath the earlier holes, we successfully extended the high-grade zone at depth, confirming continuity and showing the system is strengthening as we move down-dip. This advancement has meaningful implications for both the grade profile and the overall scale of our upcoming maiden resource. Drilling continues at NE Tyro, and we expect to receive additional assays before year-end."

Furthermore, analysis from Caesars Report on West Point's new drilling results mirrors Chen's optimistic opinion on management. In its coverage, the publication wrote that West Point Gold "continues to intersect promising gold values at Tyro," highlighting both grade and structural consistency. "The residual 70 meters still contain almost a gram of gold per tonne of rock. And as the true widths are estimated to be 70-90% of the reported widths, these results will help to increase the tonnage pretty fast," the publication noted.

Market Context for Gold Juniors

Global gold demand rose 16% in Q3 2025 alone, with the average price hitting US$3,456/oz. up 40% year-on-year. Prices breached the US$4,000/oz milestone in early October 2025, marking one of the fastest rallies on record. Imaru Casanova notes for VanEck that in 2025, the price for gold equities has held fast due to " western investment demand once again acting as an important driver of gold prices — unlike in 2023 and 2024 when central bank demand acted as the main driver."

"Central banks and Asian investors don't typically buy gold equities, but Western investors do; their return to the gold markets should continue to support a re-rating of the gold mining sector," she wrote back in July.

In an article breaking down the "epic third record quarter" for mid-tier and junior gold miners in 2025, veteran gold analyst Adam Hamilton wrote that "Given smaller gold miners' epic record fundamentals evident in their latest results, they certainly ought to see similar outperformance this time around. Amazingly, that argues the lion's share of their stock-price gains are likely still yet to come." Hamilton went on to note that "Now is the time to do your homework, researching to find the best mid-tiers and juniors with superior fundamentals."
