The Northwest Territories lie W of Nunavut, N of lat. 60°N, and E of Yukon. . The program has been focused on exploring for diamonds, gold, and base metals since 1992.

Ashton collected 337 samples this season on the Cross Property which has lead to the discovery of two new kimberlites bringing the total to three discovered on the Cross Property to date. From the "Ursa pipe, Ashton has recently announced four microdiamonds which were recovered from 150 kg of material treated by Ashton's microdiamond testing process. Additionally, 1 macrodiamond of approximately 0.6mm diameter was recovered from 2 tonnes of material processed through Ashton's Dense Media Separation (DMS (1) (Document Management System) See document management.

Several other targets were also generated and will be the subject of further exploration on the Cross Property estimated to be budgeted at $400,000.00. The Cross Property is located in the S.W. region of the Slave Slave, river, c.310 mi (500 km) long, Northwest Territories, Canada. It comprises the middle sections of the Mackenzie River system.
