FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ashley Gold Corp. Closes First Tranche -

Signs Drill Contractor for Maiden Howie Program in December 2025

CALGARY, ALBERTA - November 27, 2025 - Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE: “ASHL”) (“Ashley” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed a first tranche of the proposed financing for gross

proceeds of $265,237.56.

On November 13th, 2025, the company opened the financing for proceeds of $530,000.

The closing of the first tranche consists of the following issuance non-flow through (NFT) units and flow

through (FT) units, with pricing and breakdown as follows:

- 1,578,922 units of FT at $0.095 with a 2 year half warrant at $0.15 for gross proceeds of

$149,795.09; and

- 1,536,833 units of NFT at $0.075 with a 2 year half warrant at $0.12 for gross proceeds of

$115,262.47;

- Management funded $78,750 of the tranche.

Flow-through funds are expected to be used for eligible exploration expenses, including drilling at the

company’s permitted projects and will be renounced by the company December 31, 2025. Hard dollar

gross proceeds are expected to be used for exploration costs as well as corporate G&A costs.

President Noah Komavli on the raise;

“I want to thank shareholders for their interest and support of the company vision.

Ashley has the right ingredients for a discovery across a strong portfolio of projects in an archean

greenstone setting.

The first tranche will allow for execution of the planned scout drill program at the company’s Howie

project, with rapid turn around on activity; drilling is expected to occur in early December.

With road access and sufficient surface work completed, we look forward to expanding our model with

additional data collection. This exploration season at Howie was very busy, with the largest percentage

of labor being diverted to the Howie Project.

Moving from historical occurrences to validated targets to scout drilling in one year represents our drive

for discovery.

Management has further aligned with shareholders, following up with another significant investment in

this tranche.

I look forward to securing the last tranche and allocating funds towards additional drilling!”

Howie Program Update

Over the spring and summer, the company executed a small stripping campaign on the Main Katisha zone,

channeling a high of 20.2 g/t Au over 0.8m. Later, the company channeled the Twilight Zone, returning a

weighted average of 0.624 g/t Au over 22.9m.

In early fall, the historic core from 1987 was located, cut and assayed, returning 0.33 g/t Au over 25.74m

in proximity to the Twilight Zone.

Due to the complex mineralization and wide spread gold occurrences, the company has proposed a low

cost drill program for additional data collection using oriented core.

With a max proposed meterage of 550m, this program is highly capital effective at a projected cost of

$137,500.

The main target of this exploration program will be the Gap Zone; this linear anomaly is situated along

the East Fault between the Howie and Twilight Zones. The gap zone is host to strong coinciding

chargeability and resistivity anomalies. This area has not seen any historical drilling. A proposed shallow

fence will be executed over the target. The drill rig will be rotated or re-located, with two scissored holes

to follow, targeting the plunge of the Twilight Zone. Final pad locations will be determined ba sed on an

upcoming site visit.

The drilling rig will then be moved to another site in proximity to the Howie, and the company expects

low de-mobilization costs. Additionally, the company may be able to utilize this rig in the early new year

for the proposed Alto -Gardnar program, pending permit and additional funding from tranche 2, again

cutting costs on the mobilization fees.

FINANCING TERMS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company announce d on November 13, 2025, a non -brokered private placement financing (the

“Offering”) for aggregate proceeds of up to $530,000 (CDN) to advance exploration on Ashley’s Ontario

The Offering consists of a Non-Flow-Through (NFT) Unit at a price of $0.075. Each Unit is comprised of

one common share and one -half of one share purchase warrant. Each full warrant is exercisable for one

(“Closing Date”).

In connection with the Offering, the Company has agreed to pay finder's fees totalling $12,521.00 and

issue 137,753 finder's warrants (the "Finder's Warrants"). Each Finder's Warrant entitles the holder to

acquire one Common Share of the Company at a price of C$0.075 for a period of 24 months following

issuance.

Mr. Darcy Christian, director and CEO of the company purchased 200,000 Units at a cost of $15,000. Mr.

Project History - Alto Project

1937:

Gold discovered at Alto-Gardnar by l.W. Alto and W. Gardnar (Berger, 1989).

1940:

Sandybeach Lake Syndicate; stripping, trenching, bulk sampling, including 125-ton bulk sample from an

open cut with a reported grade of 0.231 ounces per ton (opt) . In 1943, Satterly (in Berger, op.cit.)

reported the bulk sample ran 0.081 opt, although the discrepancy between the two values is unresolved.

1982:

Ground restaked by K. and M. Bernier, who cut a grid and conducted a ground VLF survey, in addition

to resampling historic trenches. (in Berger, op.cit.)

1983:

Report highlighting a strong northeast -southwest striking quartz vein system in Keewatin greenstone

intruded by quartz porphyry, with favorable geology for gold mineralization similar to nearby deposits.
