Ashley Gold Corp. has mobilized crews for fall drilling at the Tak project in Ontario, with Phase IV hole TAK-26-17 currently underway.

Drilling operations continue with one Phase II hole, TAK-26-09, remaining outstanding for assays, alongside seven pending Phase III holes. Seven planned holes comprise the active Phase IV program. The Tak Patents abut the northeast of NexGold Mining Corp.'s Goliath Gold Complex in Northwestern Ontario.

“Our crews are back on the ground - working towards our mission of unifying the 67Z and D99Z. Since acquiring the Tak Patents in early 2026, we have applied consistent effort, with each subsequent program being more impactful than the last. Phase IV drilling should be no exception, with true step outs east of the 67Z to test high priority IP features, ground truthed by recent prospecting.”

— Noah Komavli, President

In addition to ongoing drilling, Ashley Gold has engaged Pioneer Exploration Consultants Ltd. to conduct helicopter-supported LiDAR surveys across both the Tak and Alto-Gardnar projects in coordination with Cascade Copper Corp. to maintain lower mobilization costs. Data acquisition for the LiDAR program is scheduled to begin in mid- to late September 2026, utilizing a Riegl VUX-240 scanner and PhaseOne iXM 100MP camera to generate high-density point clouds and 10 cm imagery.
