FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ashley Gold Corp. Receives Channel Results, Confirms Broad Zone

of Low Grade Gold from Representative Sampling at Howie Project,

Ontario, Submits Core for Assay

CALGARY, ALBERTA - September 22, 2025 - Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE: “ASHL”) (“Ashley” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received assay values for its channel sampling program

completed on the Twilight Zone of its Howie Project, with the project bordering Dynasty Gold’s

Thundercloud deposit.

Highlights:

- Discontinuous channel cuts show alteration associated mineralization as gold bearing, above peer

cut-offs

- Weighted average is 0.624 g/t Au over 22.9 m

- Historic Esso core cutting completed and submitted for assay

President Noah Komavli on the results;

“With our thesis of a bulk tonnage target receiving some validation from these channel sample results,

the road accessible Howie Project is positioned as a cornerstone of our portfolio.

These early results are inline or exceed advanced peers in the belt, such as the Goliath Gold complex

open pit cut -off grade of 0.3 g/t Au [1], or the Rainy River open pit cut off grade of 0.3 g/t Au for low

grade mineralization, with 0.46-0.49 g/t Au cut-off for higher grade mineralization [2].

These results are very encouraging and show that we are on the right track.

Visual inspection of the newly rediscovered historic Esso Core, which was drilled in proximity to the

Twilight Zone showing, has demonstrated strong correlation with the recent surface channel sampling.

We look forward to further validating our early stage model, leading into a full fledged, modern drill

program”

Twilight Zone Assay Results

As disclosed in a press release dated September 3, 2025, Ashley undertook a fall washing and channel

sampling program to gain a better understanding of the Twilight zone gold showing. All 23 cuts returned

gold values.

The Twilight Zone displays a broad zone of alteration associated mineralization within felsic volcanic

rocks occurring as silicification, carbonatization, chloritization, sericitization, and fuchsite with

disseminated pyrite and arsenopyrite. Zones of more abundant mineralization appear to be associated with

more intense alteration and structural activity.

Project History - Howie Property

May 1987:

Esso Minerals conducts a two year program on Howie (known as Snake Bay). Historic drilling logs from

1987 detail wide zones of mineralization. Assays redacted. Data Link

November 2022:

Initial surface prospecting and sampling at Main Katisha Shear Zone yielded assay results up to 52.80 g/t

Au, validating the zone’s gold potential*. News Link
