FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CALGARY, ALBERTA

September 16, 2025

Ashley Gold Corp. Concludes Recent Ontario Prospecting Activities,

Completes Acceleration Clauses for 100% Sakoose Ownership,

Begins Twilight Zone Core Cutting in Kenora, ON

Calgary, Alberta - September 16, 2025 - Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE: “ASHL”) (“Ashley” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has concluded a week -long prospecting over select areas on

the Tabor-Sakoose and Howie Projects, located in the Eagle -Wabigoon greenstone belt. The Company

has kicked off core cutting of the historic Twilight Zone core.

Highlights:

- Twilight Zone core cutting commencing (1987 core from Esso Minerals)

- 11 additional grab samples submitted for assays

- Concludes Sakoose accelerated ownership

Noah Komavli, President of Ashley Gold Corp, commented after concluding the field visit and core cutting

program “ Upon visiting two of our project sites and assisting in the field, it has broadened my

understanding of the company’s properties. I am pleased with the quality of work completed thus far and

have a new -found appreciation of the scale of these properties. W ith time spent on Tabor -Sakoose,

particularly on the Santa -Maria and HW 486 showing on the Sakoose East, the realization of the

greenfield nature of the claims outside of the past producing mine sites hits home.

At Howie we visited known mineralized areas (Katisha, Howie, Twilight) which go hand -in-hand with

anomalies from the induced polarization survey. This area is a small fragment of the overall property and

shows promise.

Both sites are road accessible via maintained and recently refurbished logging roads.

With Twilight Zone core cutting now commencing, we will look at validating our thesis of a near-surface,

bulk tonnage target”.

Twilight Zone Core Cutting

As previously disclosed, the Company is pleased to confirm that core cutting has now officially begun,

on schedule. See prior release dated September 9, 2025 for visuals of the historic core.

Prospecting and Project Updates

Members of the executive team and field team were active across two project sites during the second week

of September, 2025. A total of 11 grab samples are now pending from prospecting and sampling over

various areas.

Tabor-Sakoose - Lee Lake Southeast & Santa-Maria Area

The Lee Lake Southeast occurrence is located in a recently clear cut area, with freshly refurbished logging

roads. It is situated just 800m northeast of the wide, northwest-trending Kawashegamuk Lake shear zone,

and occurs at the eastern margin of an extensive area of intense carbonate alteration [1]. Past small-scale

mining occurred in an open cut within an approximately 20m wide shear zone. Additional quartz veins

were observed along the shear. This target is yet to be drilled and has not been the subject of geophysical

studies.

The Santa-Maria 1 pit is located just North-West of the Lee-Lake occurrence along the same logging road.

Host rock outcrops on either side of the logging road. The Santa-Maria pit was visited, and is mostly filled

or caved in, with two visible quartz veins running into the east side wall. A 12 inch wide quartz vein was

sampled, with trace galena observed in clusters, as well as trace chalcopyrite and pyrite.

Tabor-Sakoose - HW 486 Showing

The HW 486 Showing is located in Sakoose East, close to a regional batholith. This occurrence was blasted

in the past, with float rock observed. The team removed moss cover from the rock face to expose

mineralization. The host rock is characterized by a ma gnetic silicified metavolcanic, with trace

disseminated sulphides observed. Two blue-grey quartz boudins were observed on the exposed face, with

trace amounts of pyrite and marcasite.
