WESTGOLD METALS STRENGTHENS MANAGEMENT TEAM WITH APPOINTMENT OF VICE PRESIDENT EXPLORATION

Westgold Metals Corp. has appointed Antoine Soucy-Fradette as vice-president of exploration.

Mr. Soucy-Fradette is a professional geologist with extensive experience in mineral exploration and project development across North America. He has worked across a broad range of commodities and exploration stages, from grassroots target generation through to discovery and resource definition. Most recently, Mr. Soucy-Fradette was a senior member of the technical team at Hercules Metals Corp., where he was a key contributor to the discovery and delineation of the Leviathan copper-molybdenum porphyry system. His tenure coincided with a period of significant exploration success and growth for Hercules, driven by the Leviathan discovery and resulting market interest in the district. During this time, he was actively involved in designing, budgeting and executing multiseason drilling campaigns, developing integrated 3-D geological models, and advancing the project postdiscovery.

Prior to this, Mr. Soucy-Fradette played an important role in advancing Talisker Resources' maiden 1.7- million-ounce gold mineral resource at the historic Bralorne mine in British Columbia, supporting large-scale drill programs and resource development, both through greenfield target generation and brownfield exploration. Mr. Soucy-Fradette brings strong operational and leadership experience to Westgold, and his expertise managing large-scale drill programs, multidisciplinary exploration teams, permitting processes, contractor co-ordination and QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) protocols will be invaluable as the company embarks on its next phase of growth.

James Hocking, CEO of the company, commented:

"We are very excited to welcome Antoine to the company as vice-president, exploration. Antoine's track record, which includes contributions to significant discoveries and a wealth of experience developing target concepts through to resource definition, aligns perfectly with our renewed strategic focus. His multicommodity North American experience, most notably as part of the Leviathan discovery team, will be instrumental as we advance our portfolio and pursue new high-quality opportunities in favourable mining jurisdictions.:"

Mr. Soucy-Fradette holds a bachelor of engineering in geological engineering from Universite Laval and is a registered professional geologist (PGeo).

The company looks forward to leveraging Mr. Soucy-Fradette's expertise as it seeks to build and advance its portfolio of exploration assets in established mining districts.
