Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 17, 2026) – West Point Gold Corp. (TSXV: WPG) (OTCQX: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) (“West Point Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and a Royalty Termination and Release Agreement (the “Agreements”) which accelerate the remaining payments, eliminate a future bonus payment, and eliminate the royalty related to 107 Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) lode mining claims forming part of the Company’s Gold Chain Project located in Mohave County, Arizona. These claims include the Black Dyke target where the Company has had recent exploration success (press releases from March 17, 2026 and August 11, 2026), the Bull 8 target (June 4, 2026 press release) and the Gold Chain Hill target.

“The completion of these Agreements starts the process of simplifying the ownership structure of our landholdings at Gold Chain and eliminates future potential royalty and bonus payments related to these 107 claims. With the recent exploration success that we have had at Black Dyke and at Bull 8, the elimination of these future payments is expected to add long-term value,” stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.

These Agreements resulted in the acceleration of existing cash payments under the Option Agreement; the extinguishment of the 2% net smelter return royalty (“NSR”) on gold and silver production; and the removal of any bonus cash payment that may have become payable related to the determination of resources in any future Preliminary Economic Assessment compliant with National Instrument 43-101. Total consideration payable under the Agreements comprised a cash payment of US$960,000.

The 107 BLM claims relating to the Agreements comprise the western portion of the Gold Chain Project which hosts the Black Dyke, Bull 8, and Gold Chain Hill prospects. In total, the Gold Chain Project consists of 614 BLM claims covering approximately 4,539 hectares and 15 patented claims covering approximately 114 hectares, including the Tyro, Banner and Sheep Trail claim groups.

Black Dyke Target

Black Dyke has evolved from a historical prospect into a credible second potential resource-development area at Gold Chain, separate from Tyro. Its shallow, oxidized geometry could make it particularly attractive for potential open-pit development if additional drilling establishes sufficient scale and continuity. The zone is located approximately 4km west of the Tyro Main Zone along the Roadside Mine fault, which borders the southwest flank of the Katherine Horst. Geologically, Black Dyke contains a shallow, southwest-dipping vein-breccia system with fragments of chalcedony-rich hydrothermal breccia in a late-stage calcite matrix; the vein is hosted by Precambrian granite and spatially associated with rhyolitic intrusive/volcanic rocks. Alteration and vein textures observed in the shallow drilling suggest additional potential exists at depth, which remains largely untested. Initial RC drilling has defined a shallow-dipping zone of quartz veinlets and breccia approximately 7.6 to 36.6 m thick, extending for at least 200m along strike and approximately 250m down-dip. Importantly, mineralization begins at or near surface, is largely oxidized, and remains open to the west and down-dip to the southwest. Initial drilling returned encouraging, relatively consistent widths and grades, highlighted by 36.6 m at 1.04 g/t Au (GC26-095) from surface, 21.3 m at 0.92 g/t Au (GC26-098), 7.6 m at 1.56 g/t Au (GC26-099), and 12.2 m at 1.09 g/t Au (GC26-101).

Bull 8 Target

Bull 8 is an early-stage gold discovery located approximately 6 km northwest of the Tyro Zone. The prospect occurs along the northwest-trending Union Pass Fault Corridor characterized by strongly sheared, brecciated and altered Precambrian granite cut by fault-bounded dikes. Historical pits, adits and trenches occur throughout the prospect, with surface samples returning up to 2.09 g/t Au. Widespread quartz veining, hydrothermal alteration and anomalous gold occur along the broader Union Pass Fault Corridor, which extends for roughly 12 km across the property and is interpreted as a major structural control on the broader Gold Chain mineralizing system. The 2026 drilling consisted of six RC holes totalling 856 m, with gold mineralization intersected in every hole. The standout result was GC26-136: 21.4 m at 1.01 g/t Au, including an estimated 18 m true width, beginning at 71.6 m depth. A second hole, GC26-130, returned 12.2 m at 0.41 g/t Au from only 6.1 m depth, demonstrating that mineralization also occurs close to surface.

Gold Chain Hill Target

Gold Chain Hill is a historical gold prospect within the broader Roadside Mine structural corridor and represents another potential near-surface bulk-tonnage target outside of the Tyro Main Zone. Historical drilling returned a notable intercept of approximately 52.0 m grading 0.53 g/t Au (Fischer Watt, 1986), demonstrating broad gold mineralization at potentially economic grades. The target is characterized by quartz-chalcedony stockwork and breccia hosted within strongly silicified rhyolite and surrounding Precambrian granite. Mapping has identified a close relationship between gold mineralization and rhyolite dikes, a feature also observed throughout the Gold Chain project area. Gold occurs in surface exposures while historical drilling indicates that the mineralized system continues at depth.

Qualified Person

Robert Johansing, M.Sc. Econ. Geol., P. Geo., the Company’s Vice President, Exploration, is a qualified person (“QP”) as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical content of this press release. Mr. Johansing has also been responsible for overseeing all phases of the drilling program, including logging, labelling, bagging and transport from the project to American Assay Laboratories of Sparks, Nevada. Drillholes have a diameter of about 10cm, and samples have an approximate weight of 5 to 10kg. Samples were then dried, crushed and split, and pulp samples were prepared for analysis. Gold was determined by fire assay with an ICP finish, and over-limit samples were determined by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Silver plus 15 other elements were determined by Aqua Regia ICP-AES (IM-2A16), and over-limit samples were determined by fire assay and gravimetric finish. Both certified standards and blanks were inserted on site along with duplicates, standards and blanks inserted by American Assay. The results summarized above have been carefully reviewed with reference to the QA/QC results. Standard sample chain of custody procedures were employed during drilling and sampling campaigns until delivery to the analytical facility.

The QP has not completed sufficient work to verify the historical information received on the Black Dyke, Bull 8 and Gold Chain Hill targets, particularly with regard to historical drill results. However, the QP believes that prior drilling and analytical results were completed to industry standard practices at the time they were drilled.

Platform Connects Customer Traffic With Point-of-Sale, Labor, Marketing and Weather Data to Identify Missed Demand, Explain Performance Shifts and Recommend Next Actions Across One Location or Hundreds

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 11, 2026 / AIAI Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ:AIAI) (“Ai2” or the “Company”), an AI-enabled diversified holding company utilizing Transformational AI (TAI) to enhance portfolio performance, today announced that its portfolio company, Constellation Network has commercially launched Dôr Retail Intelligence, a platform for physical commerce powered by the industry’s first thermal-sensing, battery-operated people counter that is currently deployed in over 2,000 retail stores to help businesses better understand customer demand, improve operational performance and guide smarter decisions.

Built upon more than a decade of customer traffic analytics, Dôr Retail Intelligence combines traffic data with point of sale, e-commerce, labor, weather and other operational information to identify missed demand, explain business performance and recommend actionable next steps. The platform provides businesses with meaningful operational intelligence while integrating with the systems they already use.

“At AIAI, our objective is not simply to develop AI technology, but to create practical commercial applications that improve the performance of the businesses we own,” said Todd Furniss, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of AIAI Holdings Corporation. “The launch of Dôr Retail Intelligence demonstrates how our exclusive Transformational AI platform can enhance existing businesses by turning fragmented operational data into actionable intelligence. We believe this approach strengthens our portfolio companies while supporting long-term shareholder value.”

Dôr Retail Intelligence is designed for multi-location retailers, restaurants, hospitality operators, museums and other physical commerce businesses seeking to better understand customer behavior and operational performance. By connecting traffic with sales, staffing, marketing and other business inputs, the platform provides operators with a more complete understanding of what has changed, why it changed and where opportunities exist to improve performance.

The platform builds on more than 10 years of operational experience serving physical businesses and has analyzed more than $5 billion in sales data across numerous commercial environments. Current deployments span restaurants, national retail organizations and cultural institutions, demonstrating the platform’s ability to operate across multiple industries and business models.

“Businesses have more operational data than ever before, but many still struggle to understand what it means,” said Michael Brand, COO of Constellation Network and Dôr Technologies. “Dôr Retail Intelligence brings those disconnected data sources together and helps operators understand not only what happened, but why it happened and what actions they should consider next.”

How It Works

The platform works in three moves:

• First, Dôr’s wireless traffic-counting sensor measures customer entries and can be installed in approximately five minutes and be ready for integration.
• Next, the platform connects that traffic with point-of-sale, e-commerce, historical files, products, labor, reservations, events, weather, marketing and other operational data.
• Finally, AIAI’s Transformational AI identifies changes, relationships and missed opportunities, then presents findings through plain-language summaries and recommended next actions.

Dôr organizes information by location, time, source, product and category. It can map SKUs, categories, store codes and point-of-sale identifiers while preserving the history of renamed or discontinued products so performance remains comparable over time.

The platform can surface conversion, customer opportunity, demand, product and category momentum, staffing alignment and campaign attribution across one location or hundreds.

What Makes the Platform Different

Dôr makes powerful traffic intelligence remarkably simple to access. Its wireless traffic-counting sensor installs in approximately five minutes, with no wiring, on-site technician or specialized technical expertise required. Once installed, businesses gain direct access to the pulse of their operations: how many people enter, when traffic peaks and how customer opportunity changes throughout the day.

Traffic is the starting point. Dôr connects that opportunity with sales, products, staffing, weather, events and historical performance without requiring businesses to replace the systems they already use. AIAI’s Transformational AI then identifies patterns, explains changes in performance and recommends the next best action.

The platform is built to support one location or hundreds, providing store, regional and enterprise-level intelligence through Dôr dashboards, APIs and existing business intelligence environments such as Microsoft Power BI.

The commercial launch of Dôr Retail Intelligence represents another milestone in AIAI’s strategy of acquiring and enhancing businesses through the application of its exclusive Transformational AI platform. By embedding AI directly into operating companies, AIAI seeks to improve operating performance, accelerate innovation and create long-term value across its diversified portfolio.

Availability

Dôr Retail Intelligence is available now for single-location and multi-location businesses across retail, restaurants, hospitality, museums and other physical environments. Operators can begin with Dôr’s wireless traffic-counting sensor and expand into connected sales and operational intelligence as their needs grow.

Vancouver, British Columbia and Salt Lake City, Utah–(Newsfile Corp. – August 10, 2026) – Sage Potash Corp. (TSXV: SAGE) (OTCQB: SGPTF) (“Sage Potash” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update following the successful completion of drilling operations at the Peterson 1 well, located at the Company’s flagship Sage Plain Potash Project in southeast Utah.

Drilling of the Peterson 1 exploration hole was completed on August 4, 2026, marking a key operational milestone for the project. During an initial onsite geological assessment of the recovered core, the Company confirmed the presence of sylvite mineralization within the two Cycle 18 potash horizons.

To complement the physical core recovery, the Company acquired a comprehensive suite of downhole geophysical logs to characterize subsurface stratigraphy and support interpretation of the targeted potash-bearing intervals. The completed geophysical dataset, received on August 7, 2026, provides further support for the presence of both the Upper and Lower Cycle 18 potash members at Peterson 1. Interpretation of the borehole geophysical responses indicates that the targeted intervals occur at depths and apparent thicknesses consistent with those identified in the previously completed Johnson 1 hole, located approximately 1.2 kilometres south of Peterson 1. Initial analysis of the gamma results from Peterson 1 shows favourable correlation with the high potash grades and thicknesses reported from the Upper and Lower Cycle 18 members in the original Johnson 1 results. Together, these results provide an important geophysical correlation between the two drill holes and further support the Company’s interpretation of Cycle 18 stratigraphic continuity across this portion of the Sage Plain Potash Project. When combined with core from the key intervals, the logs and core provide the technical team with increased confidence that the area has the potential to support a significant resource and the Company’s envisioned mining operation.

Recovered core from Peterson 1 has been shipped to the Saskatchewan Research Council laboratory in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where detailed core logging and assay work will be completed.

Patricio Varas, Chief Executive Officer of Sage Potash, commented:

“We are very pleased with the results of the drill program at the Sage Plain Project,” said Patricio Varas, Chief Executive Officer of Sage Potash. “I commend our technical team and drilling contractors for the safe, effective and professional execution of this program, which recovered potash core as planned and anticipated. We look forward to receiving the assay data as Sage focuses on delivering an upsized and upgraded resource estimate.”

The Company will continue to provide updates as results become available.

Vancouver, Canada – August 5, 2026 – West Point Gold Corp. (“West Point Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPG) (OTCQX: WPGCF) (FSE: LRA0) is pleased to announce drill results from 18 holes completed at the Tyro Main and adjacent Decimal Hill zones, at its flagship Gold Chain Project in Arizona. The results are highlighted by GC26-138 (core), which intersected 30.4 metres (“m”) of 2.31 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”). This mineralized interval is bisected by a 2.8m void (Table 1) that is likely an adit (300 Level) driven on vein prior to 1920.

The results from 18 holes representing 4,304m are presented below. The remaining results from the 21,079m drill program represent 603m from the Black Dyke target. The Company plans to resume drilling in mid-September.

Highlights:

• Hole GC26-138 (core) drilled across the Tyro Main Zone and cut the 300L at 56.9m to 59.7m. The vein returned 2.18 g/t Au over 7.7m above the 300L, and 2.36 g/t Au over 22.7m below it. The estimated true width (“TW”) for this intercept, including the 300L, is 28m.
• Hole GC26-138 also encountered elevated gold grades (6.4 to 14.9 g/t Au) adjacent to the mine workings, suggesting it was driven on high-grade vein and breccia that can be projected to depth.
• Hole GC26-162 (RC) traversed 59.5m (TW = 37m) of 0.68 g/t Au at 166.1 to 225.6m.
• Some of the deeper holes (below 200m) encountered areas of weaker or no significant mineralization; however, the widespread presence of anomalous gold values and what appear to be “upper level” textures and alteration suggest that there may be stacked horizons of gold deposition, indicating the Tyro Main Zone remains open to depth

“Drilling in the upper levels of the Tyro Main Zone continues to produce consistent results and West Point Gold is well positioned for the Tyro maiden resource, which remains on track to be completed in late Q3 or early Q4 this year. Additionally, deeper drilling is guiding our efforts to expand the gold zone to depth comparable to the Northeast Tyro Zone. We plan to target below the entire 1.2km strike length of the Tyro Main and NE Tyro zones with the next drill program,“ stated Derek Macpherson, President and CEO.

Summary of Tyro Main Zone and Decimal Hill Drill Results

The latest drilling confirms broad mineralization in the upper Tyro Main Zone and provides additional information on the geometry of the mineralized system at depth. Widespread anomalous gold values, epithermal vein textures, and alteration observed in some of the deeper holes support continued evaluation of structurally displaced or stacked gold horizons. This remains a working geological interpretation. Future drilling will test the interpretation by chasing the deeper Northeast (NE) Tyro mineralization laterally toward Tyro Main and toward the Frisco Graben, while also following the priority target beneath the 300 Level.

Hole GC26-138 is a core hole designed to test the Main Tyro Zone about 100 to 150m below the surface and in proximity to the Tyro 300 Level (flooded), which drifted along the vein for about 300m. The mine working, represented by a 2.8m void, was likely driven along the vein, evidenced by vein in the adjacent walls ranging from 6.4 to 14.9 g/t Au.  The high-grade encountered around the mine-working makes the area below this hole a likely zone to chase gold mineralization to depth, as shown in Figure 2.

Hole GC26-162 (RC) traversed 59.5m (TW = 37m) of 0.68 g/t Au at 166.1 to 225.6m. This brings the mineralized envelope down to about 160m below the surface. Hole GC26-164 (RC) cut 15.2m of 0.62 g/t Au from 193.6m to 208.8m, about 75m north of GC26-162.  Both holes reveal that gold deposition is continuing at depth but likely reflects diminished ground preparation.

The remainder of the holes were designed to step-down about 50m below drilled mineralization, generally about 150 to 250m below the surface (Figure 2). The vein system appears to weaken and split into multiple narrower veinlets in some areas and remains open at depth in other areas (Figure 2).

Widespread anomalous gold values, epithermal vein textures, and alteration observed in some of the deeper holes support continued evaluation of structurally displaced or stacked gold horizons. This remains a working geological interpretation rather than a demonstrated continuity model. Future drilling will test the interpretation by tracing the deeper NE Tyro mineralization laterally toward Tyro Main and the Frisco Graben, while also following the priority target beneath the 300 Level.

At Decimal Hill, previous drilling was shallow, so the subject program tested down to about 100 to 150m below the surface. Drilling in the Decimal Hill area continues to intersect anomalous values (i.e. GC26-131; Table 2) but has yet to identify a coherent vein structure as observed to the north in the Tyro Main Zone and in the Footwall of the White Spar fault (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Longitudinal section of the Tyro Main and NE Zones showing drilling and intercepts to date along with gold assays; drill holes reported here are shown in blue. An approximate limit to quartz vein and gold mineralization (horizontally projected) is shown in red and provides some definition to near-term target areas.

Comparison of NE Tyro and Tyro Main Zone

The marked differences between the two zones may be best explained by multiple zones or stacked horizons of gold deposition. Another explanation may revolve around the importance of rhyolite dikes emplaced into the Tyro structural corridor. Intersecting structures must also be considered as well. Drilling proposed for the 2026-2027 drilling campaign will test both zones along strike and at depth. 

Analysis of the core and RC chips reveals a pronounced increase in vein-related alteration at NE Tyro consisting of quartz-illite-pyrite relative to the Tyro Main Zone. In contrast, the mineralized intervals in the Tyro Main Zone contain relatively minor illite-pyrite with a greater proportion of early propylitic alteration (quartz-chlorite-pyrite). The alteration assemblages alone suggest that the two zones may have been deposited at distinct elevations, temperatures, or both.

Veining within both zones (Figure 2) consists of multiple quartz-calcite-adularia stages punctuated by breccia events. The widespread presence of quartz pseudomorphs after bladed calcite (“lattice texture”) deposited over several stages argues for telescoping and a migrating boiling horizon during gold deposition. This may not be surprising considering the complex structural history of the Tyro Vein and, in general, the Katherine district. Tectonic movements along the controlling structures during and after the suspected gold events can explain the juxtaposition of contrasting vein styles, textures and gold grades. Such tectonic movements or a combination of these can result in stacked gold shells or a vertical precious-metal range greater than normally encountered in low-sulfidation epithermal systems.

Figure 2 provides a longitudinal view of all drill holes into the Tyro Main and NE zones. Analytical results are also provided, allowing for the definition of ‘gold deposition’, structural blocks, wall rock alteration and vein styles. Future drill targeting also needs to consider structural rotation of the precious-metal horizon (relative to the original paleo-surface, post-mineral offsets, and rapid uplift). Experience gained so far along the Tyro vein system suggests focusing upon deep drilling at Tyro NE and moving laterally to the southwest (toward the Tyro Main Zone) and northeast (toward the Frisco Graben) with incremental step-outs.
