The '''Alberta Stock Exchange''' ('''ASE''') was a [[stock exchange]] based in [[Calgary]], [[Alberta]], established in 1913.<ref>{{cite web

The ASE was the original listing exchange for [[Bre-X]], one of the biggest corporate frauds in Canadian history.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/canada/stories/brex051897.htm A Lode of Lies: How Bre-X Fooled Everyone ''Washington Post'' May 18, 1997]</ref>

On November 29, 1999, the ASE was merged into the [[Canadian Venture Exchange]] (CDNX), along with the [[Vancouver Stock Exchange]] (VSE) and the minor-cap stocks from the [[Bourse de Montréal]] (MSE). The corporate [[headquarters]] of the new CDNX remained in Calgary.
