Investor takeaway: The recent uptick in West Point Gold's share price may be attributed to the commencement of drilling at its Jefferson Canyon Project by Kinross, marking a significant step in the exploration and potential development of the site. However, investors should consider the company's financials and market conditions before making decisions.
