VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Dec. 6, 2010) - ASHBURTON VENTURES INC. (TSX VENTURE:ABR)(FRANKFURT:ARB) ("Ashburton" or the "Company") is pleased to announce high silver assays for samples taken along the Upper Vein area of its Deep Creek Project located 112 kilometres north of Elko, Nevada. Samples from the Upper Vein were previously reported to have gold contents as high as 1,180 g/t, with visible gold observed in several samples (see news releases dated October 5th, 14th and 28th, 2010). Silver assays for the same samples are as high as 828 grams per tonne silver, as shown in the table below.

"The high silver assays at Deep Creek add an additional, exciting component to the economics of the project," states Mike England, Company president. "We are very encouraged by these high assays, and will continue to assess the silver potential of the veins at Deep Creek as an important part of its total precious metals package."
