Highlights of Release:

In its latest set of results from its now expanded 2016 drill program the Company announces hole P16-1064 in the West Zone area which intersected an uncut average of 76.30 g/t gold over a core length of 1.00 meters within a broader interval grading 8.83 g/t Au over 11.00 meters.
At present Ascot has five diamond drill rigs operating and good results are being returned in all areas. In particular, the Northern Lights area, which has seen relatively little previous exploration, continues to excite. Latest results from the Northern Lights area include P16-1078 which intersected an uncut average of 52.30 g/t gold over a core length of 1.15 meters within a broader interval grading 3.02 g/t Au over 52.50 meters.
New drill highlights include:

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Analytical work is being carried out by ALS Lab Group. Quality assurance and quality control programs include the use of analytical blanks and standards and duplicates in addition to the labs own internal quality assurance program. All samples were analyzed using multi-digestion with ICP finish and fire assay with AA finish for gold. Samples over 100 ppm silver were reanalyzed using four acid digestion with an ore grade AA finish. Samples over 1,500 ppm silver were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Samples with over 10 ppm gold were fire assayed with a gravimetric finish. Identified or suspected metallic gold or silver are subjected to "metallics" assays. Also for extreme high gold grades a concentrate analysis is performed with a fire assay and gravimetric finish accurate up to 999985 ppm Au limit (ALS Au-CON01) method. Sampling and storage are at the company's secure facility in Stewart with bi-weekly sample shipments made to ALS Labs Terrace prep site.
