Vancouver, B.C. November 8, 2021 — Ascot Resources Ltd(TSX: AOT; OTCQX: AOTVF)(“Ascot” or the “Company”) announces the Company’s unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 (“Q3 2021”).

Premier Mine progress update
The Company is also pleased to provide an update on the status of permitting and pre-development activities for its 100%-owned Premier Gold Project (“PGP” or “the project”) in the Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia.
The B.C. provincial regulating authorities, namely the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation (the “Regulators”), have recently issued to Ascot the draft Joint Permit Application Amendment (“JPAA” or “permit”) conditions for construction and operation of PGP.
Ascot is currently reviewing the conditions of the permit and anticipates to negotiate and accept permit terms in the next several weeks, followed by final permit issuance. Receipt of the final permit will then enable commencement of full-scale construction activities including portal preparation and underground development.
Ascot Resources management comments
“Ascot made much headway in advancing the project this past quarter. In July we announced the signing of an updated Benefits Agreement with Nisga’a Nation, strengthening our partnership.
“In August we announced positive exploration results including 21 g/t gold over 7 metres in a step-out hole at the Premier deposit. In September we announced the delivery of the Ball and SAG mills and the significant progress made on the Early Works program, which continues to this day.
“We are pleased that the permitting process is nearing completion as we recently received the draft permit conditions for the project from the provincial Regulators and following negotiation and acceptance of said conditions over the next several weeks, we anticipate final permit issuance which will enable the commencement of full-scale construction including underground development.
“We look forward to being able to advance the project towards production later next year.”
