Ashley to begin drilling of Tak patents

Executive Summary
  • Ashley Gold Corp. announced crew mobilization and drilling commencement this weekend (April 10, 2026) on the Tak patents in the Dryden area, Ontario.
  • Drill trails cleared and 11 pads prepared; equipment includes a skidder and diamond-drill rig capable of >500m holes for at least one year.

  • This follows previous announcements regarding equipment staging (April 2, 2026) and financing closure (March 11, 2026).
Material Impact
  • The news confirms execution of a previously funded plan; the March 11, 2026 financing explicitly allocated proceeds to drill up to 2,000m on Tak Patents.
  • No new capital raised or assay results released; therefore, valuation remains unchanged pending geological data.
  • Progress is positive for operational confidence but does not alter the risk profile regarding exploration success or dilution.
  • Categorization as Routine - Positive reflects expected progression from mobilization to drilling start without unexpected financial or technical breakthroughs.
