ASHL · Price

Executive Summary

  • Ashley Gold Corp. has released assay results from a helicopter-supported ground geological sampling program at its Gold Mountain property in British Columbia.
  • The program confirmed a historically identified northwest-trending high-grade corridor extending over approximately 1.2 kilometres at surface.
  • Peak surface grab sample assays returned 6.61 g/t Au, 204 g/t Ag, and 2.06% Cu, with associated antimony values up to 0.17%.
  • The company plans to submit a notice of work for diamond drilling at Gold Mountain and advance permitting on the Vertebrae Ridge property.

Key Details

  • Sample Program: 15 outcrop grab samples collected during a 2025 helicopter-supported ground program completed over two field days.
  • Peak Assays (Gold Mountain):
    • Sample GM25-FS006: 6.61 g/t Au, 2.06% Cu, and 0.17% Sb.
    • Sample GM25-FS005: 204 g/t Ag, 1.45% Cu, and 0.15% Sb.
    • Sample GM25-FS010: 6.46 g/t Au and 194 g/t Ag.
  • Corridor Confirmation: The sampling confirmed a northwest-trending high-grade corridor extending over ~1.2 km at surface. No significant results were returned outside of this main trend.
  • Historical Context (North Showing):
    • 1982 grab sample: 4.87 g/t Au, 710 g/t Ag, 1.89% Cu.
    • 1984 Drilling (Parr, 1984):
      • Hole A: 4.14 m @ 57.62 g/t Au, 7,349.5 g/t Ag, 16.5% Cu, 8.74% Pb.
      • Hole B: 4.85 m @ 29.99 g/t Au, 6,711.3 g/t Ag, 11.0% Cu, 14.53% Pb.
  • Historical Context (South Showing):
    • 1982 peak values: 30.3 g/t Au, 13,301 g/t Ag, 32.54% Cu.
  • Future Plans:
    • Notice of work for Gold Mountain diamond drilling has been submitted to test mineralization at depth.
    • Permitting advancement for the sister property, Vertebrae Ridge (approx. 4 km long trend of high-grade copper and silver at surface).
    • Focus shifting to drilling plans in Dryden, Ontario, in late fall and winter.
  • Outstanding Assays: Several assays remain outstanding, including Howie multielement channel results and Alto-Gardnar channel sampling results.
  • QA/QC: Samples analyzed by AGAT Laboratories using multielement four-acid digestion with ICP-OES finish and gold by 30 g fire assay with AA finish. Two quartz blanks inserted representing ~11% of samples.

Notable Quotes

  • Noah Komavli, President: "Gold Mountain continues to demonstrate early hallmarks of grade and scale at surface, necessitating the next steps of diamond drilling."
  • Noah Komavli, President: "These results continue to demonstrate that Ashley Gold Corp. has consolidated a significant portfolio of high-potential projects that will contribute to our mission of discovering the next gold resource in Canada."
