(CSE: ASHL) (“Ashley” or the “Company”) is updating shareholders on the fall drill program on Tabor and exploration program on Howie. A slight travel delay has the program slated to start this weekend. Pads are in place and the drill crew is on standby. Sampling crew is onsite at Howie for grab and channel samples across multiple mineralized occurrences. Darcy Christian, President of Ashley, commented, “We are looking forward to getting the Tabor drill program fired up. George and I travelled to the drill pad locations to confirm rig access and survey elevations and azimuths. Everything is good to go for later this week”. Figure 1. Darcy Christian Standing on South Pad Location Tabor Drill Program Drilling will be completed in multiple holes near the Tabor historical workings. The objective of this program is to confirm the mineralization reported by historical operators in the 1930’s to 50’s. Additionally, the new information from core will be used to better understand structure of the system to direct follow up drilling and exploration plans. Figure 2. Conceptual Cross Section Showing Targets for Upcoming Drill Program (Looking West) Pad Locations and Targets Pad locations were chosen to optimize time drilling and to test the known mineralization at multiple levels above, between, and below the historical workings. North Pad East North Pad 1 is located to the east of the shaft and will be used to test the mineralization and structure between the 125ft and 250ft shaft levels. A hole will be extended to the northeast to confirm an interpreted north-south fault that is thought to offset the Quartz Feldspar Porphyry (QFP). Structural measurements will be taken to understand mineralization and any offset of veins. North Pad West North Pad 2 is located west of the shaft and will be used to test the shallow potential above the 125ft level. Historically, a surface bulk sample of 77 tons was obtained yielding an average of 17 g/t Au*. No drilling has occurred in this s...
