Ashley Gold Corp. announced the commencement of drilling on the Tabor Lake Property. As of this morning, the first hole located on the south pad is drilled to a depth of 110m.

This test will look to confirm historic drilling reports stating the existence of another mineralized vein below the historical workings that was reported at 838 g/t over 1m. 518 Drilling has two shifts drilling 24 hours a day and are making excellent meterage per shift. 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. 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 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 mineralized veining. 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 shallow section to date, so it will be an important data point for understanding the mineralization near surface. South Pad 1 is located southwest of the shaft and will be used to test mineralization and structure below the 250ft level.

#8 DDH drilled in 1958 intersected additional parallel gold bearing veins with excellent historical assays of 838 g/t Au over 1m and 60 g/t Au over 1m. It is intent to confirm these parallel veins from the South Pad. The acquisition of modern drill data will provide the following: Historic drilling is from the 50's to 80's and most data including core is missing; historical assays are non- compliant to modern NI-43-101 standards.

Testing extent of `known' mineralization both in the veins as well as adjacent "Wall Rock". Core measurements necessary for an in-depth structural understanding. Mineralogical analysis to determine paragenesis of veining, mineralization, and structural movements.

Data will be used to refine geological and structural model and plan upcoming exploration programs.
