Ascot Drills 1.00 Meter of 126.5 Grams Per Tonne Gold and 622 Grams Per Tonne Silver at Big Missouri

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 14, 2012) - Ascot Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:AOT) has completed its 2012 drilling at Premier which was spread over three areas, the Big Missouri, the Martha Ellen and the Sparky zone at Dilworth. Hole #426 has recently returned a narrow high grade gold hit from the Calcite Cut zone in the Big Missouri area averaging 126.5 g/t gold and 622 g/t Ag over a 1.00 meter interval contained in quartz breccias (3.69 opt gold, 18.1 opt silver over 3.28 feet).

Drilling encountered widespread gold and silver mineralization in all three areas and the geometry of mineralization continues to develop as gently dipping sheets in all the zones as part of a large coherent mineralized system. Drilling has now been extended over a distance of 5.5 kilometers and continues to demonstrate very good continuity.

New Highlights include:

* Cut to 1 opt Au

In 2012, Ascot completed 166 drill holes (P12-267 to 432) for a total of 36,942 metres. The initial 124 holes were reported in two previous news releases, this current release covers the final 42 holes. Wide zones of gold and silver mineralization continue to be encountered in many of the areas demonstrating bulk tonnage potential in a generally flat sheet like orientation with higher gold and silver grades in zones within broad gold envelopes. Estimated true widths are generally 10-20% less than reported drill widths, as holes fan across gently dipping sheets. An updated resource for 2012 has been contracted to P&E Mining Consultants Inc. to be completed in the first quarter of 2013. Detailed results table, locations, azimuths and dips and figures can be viewed at the following Ascot link: www.ascotresources.ca

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.
