Ashley Gold Executes Drilling Contract for Burnthut Project

with Drilling Expected Mid February

Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE: “ASHL”) (“Ashley” or the “Company”) has signed a drilling contract with Heritage

Mining to utilize their drilling team and equipment for the 3-hole Burnthut drill program. Drilling will commence

with conclusion of Heritage’s initial drill program at their Drayton Black Lake project adjacent to Burnthut.

Darcy Christian, CEO of Ashley comments “ This collaboration with Heritage for drilling of Burnthut provides

Ashley with access to competitive drilling rates, logistics and core processing for the Maiden Burnthut Drill

Program. We are excited to see the results of both programs which we hope will highlight the immense potential

of the area.”

About the Burnthut Drill Program

The Burnthut drill program will consist of 3 holes up to 300m each. The goal of the program is to intersect the Oro-

West and Oro surface discoveries (2024 & 2023) at depth. The Oro zone at surface has returned assays of up to 70

g/t Au within a series of mineralized veins in a wider deformation zone of up to 20m wide. In 2024 the Oro West

zone was discovered 80m to the northwest as a parallel deformation zone with grades running 31.9 g/t Au
