Ashley Gold closes $265,237 first tranche of placement

Mr. Noah Komavli reports ASHLEY GOLD CORP. CLOSES FIRST TRANCHE - SIGNS DRILL CONTRACTOR FOR MAIDEN HOWIE PROGRAM IN DECEMBER 2025 Ashley Gold Corp. has closed a first tranche of the proposed financing for gross proceeds of $265,237.56. On Nov. 13, 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 9.5 cents with a two-year half warrant at 15 cents for gross proceeds of $149,795.09; 1,536,833 units of NFT at 7.5 cents with a two-year half warrant at 12 cents for gross proceeds of $115,262.47; Management financed $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 Dec. 31, 2025. Hard dollar gross proceeds are expected to be used for exploration costs as well as corporate G&A (general and administrative) 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, channelling a high of 20.2 grams per tonne Au (gold) over 0.8 metre. Later, the company channeled the Twilight zone, returning a weighted average of 0.624 g/t Au over 22.9 m. In early fall, the historic core from 1987 was located, cut and assayed, returning 0.33 g/t Au over 25.74 m 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 metreage of 550 m, 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 relocated, with two scissored holes to follow, targeting the plunge of the Twilight zone. Final pad locations will be determined based 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 demobilization 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 announced on Nov. 13, 2025, a non-brokered private placement financing for aggregate proceeds of up to $530,000 to advance exploration on Ashley's Ontario and British Columbia gold properties, as well as for general working capital.

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. November, 2022: Initial surface prospecting and sampling at Main Katisha shear zone yielded assay results up to 52.80 grams per tonne Au, validating the zone's gold potential. January, 2023: Planned high-resolution drone magnetics survey to target deeper mineralized zones, inspired by Dynasty Gold's Thundercloud project results. April, 2024: Secured exploration permit and Ontario Junior Exploration Program funding, enabling advanced geophysical surveys and sampling. October, 2024: completed induced polarization (IP) survey over two kilometres of lines to define 2025 drill targets for subsurface mineralization. March, 2025: Reviewed IP survey data, expanded the project by two claims and identified new targets along strike for further exploration. May, 2025: Conducted mechanical stripping, outcrop washing and channel sampling at Katisha zone, with channel cut assay results up to 20.2 g/t Au, confirming continuity of gold mineralization in a five to 10 m wide deformation zone. Expanded strike with discovery of 1.6 g/t Au sample based on IP data. September, 2025: Located the historic Esso core, channel sampling completed at the Twilight zone outcrop. 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 ounce per ton (opt). In 1943, Satterly 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. 1983: Report highlighting a strong northeast-southwest-striking quartz vein system in Keewatin greenstone intruded by quartz porphyry, with favourable geology for gold mineralization similar to nearby deposits. The main vein extends over 1,000 feet with widths up to 24 feet, showing visible gold, pyrite, chalcopyrite and commercial assays up to 0.37 oz/ton gold. 1986: Loydex Resources Inc. flew airborne magnetometer and EM survey over the area including the Alto-Gardnar shear zone. 1995: Champion Bear Resources drilled four diamond drill holes on the Alto-Gardnar property, no data are available. 2006: Gossan Resources conducted a field program involving 340 metres of mechanical stripping, detailed geologic mapping, channel sampling of 273 samples, prospecting and MMI soil sampling to define the structural controls and extend the shear zone. Results revealed anomalous gold values up to 9.69 g/t primarily in sheared mafic volcanics with quartz stringers and alteration, alongside identification of potential shear extensions up to 2.3 km northeast. Conclusions highlight two styles of gold mineralization in quartz veins and shear zones -- recommending reassaying for nugget effects, petrographic analysis and drilling to further evaluate the property's potential. October, 2022: Ashley acquires the Alto-Gardnar project. May, 2024: Ashley Gold discovers new vein at Alto-Gardnar assaying 106 g/t Au.
