Ashley Gold Corp. Expands Tabor Property with Option on Former Producing Sakoose Mine

24.10.2023  |  The Newswire
Highlights
- Option incudes a 5km fold hinge trend between the Tabor and Sakoose Mine
- Historical production at Sakoose reported as 8, October 24th, 2023


Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE:ASHL) ("Ashley" or the "Company") is pleased to announce entering into an option agreement to earn 100% of contiguous claims directly east of the Tabor property including the past producing Sakoose Mine subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR).

Darcy Christian, President of Ashley, commented, "I am very excited to increase our footprint in the Tabor area. Both the Tabor and Sakoose Mines are located just south of a major regional fold hinge with virtually no exploration occurring between the two. This gives us a great opportunity to build a district scale play."

About the Sakoose Property

The Tabor and Sakoose mines are located approximately 5km apart from each other 500m south of a major regional fold hinge (Figure 1). No drilling has occurred between these two mineralized zones and is considered greenfield exploration. In addition to the Tabor-Sakoose trend, historic grab samples have been taken to the south that likely correlate to the sampling at the Santa Maria pit and Lee Lake occurrences. The total combined property at over 4,000 hectares has the potential for district scale discoveries.

The Sakoose Mine is located 7.5km south of Highway 17 on the Sandy Point Road providing year-round access. The mine produced from 1897 until 1902 when the mill burned down. Total production is reported at 8,828 tons with an average grade of 11.9 g/t Au*. Historical drilling reporting is incomplete, however in 1988, a drill program was completed testing below the known workings. Many of these intercepts showed continuation of mineralization down to 200m vertical depth (Figure 2). Potential for an additional trend is seen from the SAK-18 intercept. Figure3 shows an east-west magnetic anomaly that is trending with the main Sakoose vein. This anomaly extends approximately 400m west of the known drilling which has the potential for vein continuation along strike.

Darcy Christian, President of Ashley, commented, "The Sakoose property has a lot of untested potential in my opinion. The known mineralization is open below 200m as well as to the west with a magnetic anomaly correlating with the main Sakoose vein trend. I look forward to testing the Sakoose area in an upcoming drill program."
