FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 13, 2022

Ashley Gold Corp. signs agreement to acquire Howie Lake Property

Calgary, Alberta --(September 1 3, 2022) – Ashley Gold Corp. ("Ashley" or the " Company")

(CSE:ASHL) is pleased to announce it has entered into a property purchase agreement dated September

12, 2022 (the " Agreement"), to purchase a claim block located SE of Dryden, Ontario, known as the

Howie Lake Property (the "Property").

George Stephenson, President of As hley, commented, "The acquisition of the Howie Lake Property

presents an excellent exploration opportunity and allows Ashley to expand its footprint into an active and

highly prospective mining area that is host to several large-scale gold operations."

ABOUT THE HOWIE LAKE PROPERTY

The property is located approximately 55 km southeast of Dryden, Ontario and can be accessed through a

year-round gravel road that leads south from Highway 17. This road runs through the middle of the claim

group, and several logging roads lead off this road providing additional access to the region. The property

consists of 64 mining cells, approximately 1000 Ha. The Howie Lake claims share a common boundary

with the Thundercloud Lake (Pelham Project) that is currently operated by Dynasty Gold and hosts a

defined resource of 200,000 oz Au. This active mining area has been known to host several large -scale,

gold deposits including the Cameron Lake deposit, the Rainy River deposit, and the Hammond Reef

deposit.

There are seven (7) known gold occurrences documented in the OGS Mineral Deposit Inventory that lie

within the Howie Lake Property that have seen little modern-day exploration. The property is dominated

by three distinct phases of shear zones and fault development. Two parallel fault zones (West Fault Zone

and East Fault Zone) have been identified between Howie Lake and Katisha Lake that require further

exploration. The East Fault Zone is host to numerous gold showings, The Katisha South Zone, Howie

Lake Zone, Swamp Zone, and the Twilight Zone. The West Fault Zone is host to the Zig Zone.
