ASHBURTON VENTURES INC. (TSX VENTURE:ABR)(FRANKFURT:ARB) ("Ashburton" or the
"Company") announces today that it has staked additional mineral tenures (444
hectares) in the Sheslay Valley to be included in the Company's Hackett Project
which is contiguous to the Doubleview Capital Corp. Hat Cu-Au property. 


The original Hackett claim group adjoins the eastern and southern borders of the
Hat property. During recent flyovers at the Hackett, a large gossanous zone
along the western portion of the property was observed from the air. The western
edge of Hackett is within 1,000 meters of Doubleview's discovery drill holes
that indicate the strong potential for a copper-gold alkalic porphyry-type
deposit (see Doubleview Capital Corp. news release, January 20, 2014). This
gossan will be the subject of an early work program including sampling and
mapping, as soon as weather permits, in order to prioritize potential drill
targets. 


Volcanic-sedimentary assemblages and intrusive rocks at the Hackett and Hat
properties are similar and are believed to be part of the Stuhini Group,
presently the focus of heightened exploration activity in northern British
Columbia. Historical aeromagnetics for the Hackett identified a magnetic high on
the southern portion of the claims (B.C. Minfile Report #18158, 1988). 


"Ashburton is extremely fortunate to have claims adjoining, and on trend, with
these significant discovery holes drilled by Doubleview. Expanding our land
position at this time is an important strategic move for what is setting up to
be an exciting work season throughout the Sheslay district," states Mike
England, CEO of Ashburton Ventures.


Additionally, further to Ashburton's news release of January 22, 2014, it has
also extended the closing of its non-brokered flow-through private placement of
2.5 million flow-through units at a price of five cents per unit for total gross
proceeds of $125,000 to February 15, 2014. Each flow-through unit will comprise
one common share and one share purchase warrant of the company. Each warrant
will entitle the holder to purchase one share for a period of 24 months from the
closing date at an exercise price of 10 cents per warrant share. 


The technical contents of this release were approved by Marvin A. Mitchell, P.
Eng., Technical Advisor to Ashburton and a qualified person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101. The properties have not been the subject of a
National Instrument 43-101 report, and Mr. Mitchell has not verified the
technical data disclosed in this release. 


Ashburton Ventures is a junior exploration company actively seeking mineral
opportunities for the benefit of all its stakeholders.
