Not for distribution to U.S. news wire services or dissemination in the United States.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ascot Resources Ltd. (TSX: AOT; OTCQB: AOTVF) (“Ascot” or the “Company”) has received a letter from the Continued Listing Committee (“Committee“) of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX“) stating that the Committee has determined to delist the Company’s common shares effective at the close of market on October 10, 2025 (the “Delisting Date“) for failing to meet the continued listing requirements of the TSX. On April 10, 2025, the Company announced that the TSX had commenced a delisting review and that it could provide no assurance as to the outcome of such review and the continued qualification for listing of the common shares. The Company intends to pursue an alternative listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“). While the Company intends to transition its listing to the TSXV on or prior to the Delisting Date to avoid interruptions in trading, there can be no assurances that the transition will occur by that date or at all.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Ascot Resources Ltd.

James A. (Jim) Currie
CEO and Director
