Ashley Gold Signs LOI on Burnthut Discovery and Closes First Tranche of Financing

06.12.2023  |  The Newswire
Highlights
- Burnthut Property on trend with Treasury Metals resource
- 2023 Summer Campaign discovered Oro Grande Zone with assays up to 59.5 g/t Au
- Completed first tranche of Private Placement

Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE:ASHL) ("Ashley" or the "Company") is pleased to announce entering into a Letter of Intent to purchase 100% of the Burnthut Property. The Burnthut property is located southwest of Sioux Lookout, Ontario on the Treasury Metals Goliath-Goldlund trend.

Darcy Christian, President of Ashley, commented, "This is a fantastic project to add to our portfolio. Work completed in 2023 shows kilometer scale strike length potential with width. Within this same deformation zone Treasury Metals boasts over 2 million ounces of gold. Previous drilling on and adjacent the property has shown near surface 30m intercepts of gold mineralization. All of this and a 100% ownership make for a compelling project that we are excited to explore".

Burnthut Property

The Burnthut Gold property consists of 63 unpatented mining cells and is contiguous to Treasury Metals to the southwest. The property covers approximately 8km of favourable geology in the central volcanic belt and along strike of the Goldlund and Miller gold deposits. Past drilling has outlined 3 separate gold zones. A 500m wide, mineralized deformation corridor hosting numerous zones of gold mineralization is in close contact with the Ruby Island fault. The Ruby Island fault marks the boundary between mafic volcanics of the central volcanic belt to the North, with sedimentary rocks of the Minnitaki group to the south. A structural offset along the Ruby Island fault and the convergence of a northeast fault may have produced significant dilation zones.

A 48ft shaft was sunk on the property in the late 1800's. The most recent drilling program on the property was conducted in the early 1960's and was focussed near the Shaft. Sampling of core was intermittent; however, it is stated that a "few 100ft intervals were encountered between 0.01 and 0.07 oz/t Au*". To the immediate west of the Burnthut on former Barrick Gold properties drilling intercepted 31.83m at 2.06 g/t Au*.

2023 Sampling

In 2023, the Oro Grande Zone was discovered on the mainland which included 3 parallel veins up to 1.5m each in width. 16 grab samples of the three stacked veins averaged over 15g/t Au with the highest grading 59.5 g/t Au. The strike of the Oro Grande zone corresponds with Zone 2 on Burnthut Island and is traced for 75m on the mainland before trending under cover. This mineralized zone coincides with a VLF anomaly that extends 700m to the west of the Oro Grande zone.

The Offering consisted of the issuance of an aggregate of 1,036,680 flow-through units (the "Flow-Through Units"). The Flow-Through Units were priced at $0.075 and were comprised of one common share ("Flow-Through Share") and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each full Warrant is exercisable into common shares at a price of CDN$0.10 for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering, subject to accelerated expiry provisions described in the notes below.

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid aggregate cash commissions to arm's length finders who assisted with the Offering of approximately $7,475 and issued 99,668 finder warrants ("Finder Warrants"). Each Finder Warrant is exercisable at a price of $0.075 per common share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering. All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a statutory four month hold period.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares will be used to incur eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses ("CEE") for the Company's February drill program to test the downdip potential of the Sakoose Mine and an IP geophysical survey over Howie to help with potential drilling next summer. More details will be released shortly regarding the planned program. The Company will renounce CEE effective on or before December 31, 2023.
