[{"type":"text","content":"CALGARY, ALBERTA - December 9, 2025 – TheNewswire - Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE: “ASHL”) (“Ashley” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has contracted Rodren Drilling Ltd. (“Rodren”) for the maiden Howie drill program. As of yesterday, the trail brushing crew had arrived on site, clearing an existing trail to the proposed pad locations. Today, the drill will arrive on site and the company expects the first hole to be started in the afternoon. President Noah Komavli on the raise; “By taking a measured approach to exploration and capital allocations, Ashley has prepared for these exciting activities. Furthermore, on closing of our second tranche, funds can be used to follow up on these results, or to conduct scout drilling on one of Ashley’s additional high priority targets. Having located the 1987 Esso core this summer, the company confirmed a historic discovery South of the Twilight Zone. Now, we will follow up with a diamond drill fence to test the collision of a carbonate breccia system with the East Fault. An area that has never been drilled. Modelling of the historic holes over the IP data shows a clear trend; the historic work completed in the 1980’s misses main IP targets. Additionally, and perhaps most significantly, these historic holes consistently intercepted anomalous gold, even outside of the main target zone. This is very promising for us, and suggests that Esso Minerals was on the right track. Now, we will pick up where they left off and finally drill test an area of coinciding chargeability and resistivity, with the best implied gold index. Results will directly inform next steps, with additional targets in the broader property that are yet to be followed up on. South east of this main IP grid, additional anomalies have emerged that will require the same follow up, pending results from this campaign.” Howie Program Update Image 1: Equipment Along the Snake Bay Road Image 2: December 2025 Proposed Pad Locations, Apparent Chargeability and Historic Holes The Howie Project is an intrusive gold project bordering Dynasty Gold’s Pelham project to the west. Over the spring and summer, the company executed a small stripping campaign on the Main Katisha zone, channeling a high of 20.2 g/t Au over 0.8m (May 26, 2025). Later, the company channeled the Twilight Zone, returning a weighted average of 0.624 g/t...
