Ascot Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AOT) -
Highlights of Release:
-- Drilling continues to expand and confirm property potential for bulk
tonnage and higher grade underground gold/silver targets.
-- This is the third release for the 2013 drilling campaign covering 37
holes.
-- Drilling will continue with three drill rigs until the end of the
season. Unseasonably warm weather has extended season.
Ascot Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to announce that wide zones of
gold and silver mineralization continue to be encountered in all target areas of
the Premier and Dilworth properties. Results have now been received from ALS for
90 of 114 holes drilled to date. The remainder of the holes have results pending
and will be released at a later date. The Company has completed its planned
20,000 metres for the 2013 season but will continue drilling, as long as the
unseasonably warm weather permits. The 2013 drilling campaign continues to
expand and confirm the property potential for both bulk tonnage and higher grade
underground gold/silver targets.
Wide zones of gold and silver mineralization continue to be encountered in all
of the target areas demonstrating bulk tonnage potential in a generally flat
sheet like orientation containing higher grade quartz breccia bodies. This
release covers results for the third set of 37 holes (P-13-486 to 522). The
first 53 holes were released in the September 12, 2013 and September 26, 2013
news releases. Detailed results table, locations and figures can be viewed at
the following Ascot link: www.ascotresources.ca.

See detailed table for cut values.
Drilling for the period of this release has been focused in the Martha Ellen
area and Big Missouri areas due to snow at higher elevations. Drilling to date
at Martha Ellen continues to demonstrate good continuity, particularly to the
north, in areas never historically drill tested. Results to date have
intersected grades as good as or better than the historic tested area. Several
holes tested the Lion target, a historic tertiary Ag system in the northeastern
portion of the property and returned low silver values. Drilling in the Province
area of the Big Missouri target has continued to encounter gold and silver
mineralization in both the near surface Province zone and the deeper Big
Missouri zone. Several of these holes terminated prematurely in underground
workings.
Drilling will continue for a limited time in the Big Missouri area with lower
elevations and better road access allowing for cost effective drilling with
winter conditions.
Graeme Evans, P.Geo., and Lawrence Tsang, P.Geo., are providing the field
management for the Premier exploration program. Graeme Evans, designated as the
Qualified Person (QP) as defined by National Instrument 43-101 has prepared the
technical information in this news release.
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. Sampling and storage are at the
company's secure facility in Stewart with bi-weekly sample shipments made to ALS
Labs Terrace prep site.
