The terms are simple and outlined above for full transparency. The transaction is quite lucrative to Ashley, allowing significant ownership of a new company or listed entity, as well as padding the assets side of our balance sheet.

About the Icefield property
The Icefield portfolio was acquired by Ashley in March, 2025, for six million common shares, with a final payment of two million shares on the 12-month anniversary or on receipt of drill permit, whichever occurred first. The drill permit was received in early March, 2026, and the final shares issued. The net acquisition cost of the property in equity issued is $510,000.00 plus $33,768.00 in work completed, as per audited financials at 2025 year-end.
About the transaction
Ashley has entered into a 30-day option exclusivity period with the optioner for a consideration of $25,000, with the option to extend three months for an additional $25,000. On exercise notice the optioner will pay $50,000 with an additional $100,000 to be paid on listing or readmission of new company (NewCo) to an exchange. Within 12 months of option exercise Ashley will receive $1.3-million in equity of the NewCo. The optioner will be responsible for all costs related to management and work requirement of the claims from signing of the option exclusivity. The existing 2-per-cent net smelter royalty shall survive the exercise of the option and terms shall remain in full force and effect against the property thereafter.
All dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars and completion of agreement will be subject to regulatory approvals.
There are no shares of Ashley to be issued as part of the agreement and no finder fees payable to any parties.
The overall proposed transaction, at book value of equity, provides an approximate 170-per-cent return from original acquisition to complete disposition.
