CALGARY, ALBERTA - June 23, 2026 - TheNewswire - Ashley Gold Corp. (CSE: “ASHL”) (“Ashley ” or the “Company ”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered critical mineral flow-through private placement (the “Offering ”).

President Noah Komavli:

“We are very pleased to welcome new shareholders to our developing story, with demand for the Offering exceeding current allocations and the initial raise target. This strong level of interest speaks to appreciation of the work executed to date, understanding of our streamlining efforts, our strategic foothold in the Dryden camp, as well as an overall bullish outlook on the precious metals. I look forward to delivering further results and updates as we advance our projects.”

The Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of CDN$487,510.02 pursuant to the Offering.
The Offering was oversubscribed, with investor demand exceeding the final closing amount.

The Offering consisted of the issuance of an aggregate of 8,125,167 critical mineral flow-through common shares (the “FT Shares ”) at a price of $0.06 per FT Share, issued as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

The Offering remains subject to all necessary regulatory approvals, including final acceptance by the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE ”). All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a four-month hold period from the applicable closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada. The Offering was made by way of private placement in Canada and such other jurisdictions as the Company determined. Following completion of the Offering, the Company has 94,475,040 common shares issued and outstanding.

The gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares will be used to incur eligible “Canadian exploration expenses” that are intended to qualify as “flow-through critical mineral mining expenditures”, each as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Qualifying Expenditures ”). The Qualifying Expenditures will be used primarily to fund drilling and exploration at the Company’s critical minerals projects in Ontario.

The Company intends to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures to subscribers of the FT Shares with an effective date no later than December 31, 2026, and to incur the Qualifying Expenditures on or before December 31, 2027, in accordance with the requirements of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

In connection with the Offering, the Company paid aggregate cash commissions of CDN$35,260.80 and issued an aggregate of 412,680 finder warrants (the “Finder Warrants ”). Each Finder Warrant is exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.06 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Offering.
