Tower Resources Ltd. Reports Complete Gold Assays from Hole R24-056 on the Thunder North Gold Zone on the Company's Rabbit North Property in the Heart of the Kamloops Mining District
Tower Resources Ltd. reported complete gold assays from Hole RN24-056 on the Thunder North gold zone on the Company's Rabbit North property in the heart of the Kamloops mining district. These assays extend the Thunder North discovery 250 m along strike to the east at double the gold grade of the 2023 discovery intersection. Hole 056 Au Results. Hole 056 was the second hole of Tower's four-hole October 2024 diamond drilling program. It was drilled approximately 250 m east along strike from Hole 039, Tower's 2023 discovery hole on the Thunder North Zone, to test for possible continuation of the gold mineralization beyond a disruptive monzonite dyke 50 m east of Hole 039. Hole 056 successfully intersected 15.85 m of continuous gold mineralization averaging 5.80 g/t Au between 139.5 and 155.35 m down-hole. The overall 15.85 m gold zone is bookended by higher grade intervals of 4.5 m averaging 13.97 g/t Au at the top of the section, including 0.75 m of 65.30 g/t Au, and 4.35 m averaging 5.70 g/t Au at the bottom of the section. Together with Hole 055 which discovered the new Blue Sky Zone approximately 1 km to the northeast with an initial intersection of 31.5 m averaging 4.15 g/t Au overlain by 158 m (vertical thickness) of highly anomalous to significantly mineralized diorite averaging 0.75 g/t Au, Hole 056 demonstrates how quickly Tower is building a significant gold resource at Rabbit North. Only 36 holes totaling 10,000 m have been drilled, with only half exploring outside Tower's original 2021 Lightning Zone discovery yet delivering three new discoveries of successively higher Au grades. Total Depth (m), Mineralized Interval(s), Average Au Grade (g/t), Hole No., Easting (m), Northing (m), Azimuth (deg), Dip (deg), Mineralized Zone(s), From (m), To (m), Length (m), RN24-056, 663014, 5607544, 143.0, -60, 200, Thunder North, 139.50, 155.35, 15.85, 5.80, Including, 139.50, 144.00, 4.50, 4.50, 13.97, Including, 140.25, 0.75, 65.30, Including, 151.00, 155.35, 4.35, 5.70. Significant gold intercepts of the shear-hosted type from Hole 56. Samples with Au grades greater than 15 g/t are shown individually. True widths have not been determined. This indicates that the Rainbow Zone, which is hosted by a magmatic-hydrothermal breccia having a very fine-grained and strongly magnetic diorite matrix, has a limited surface footprint (below the cover basalt) typical of a breccia pipe rather than being of broad extent as suggested by the large, coincident magnetic anomaly. Follow-Up Drilling Planned. The exceptional gold results obtained from both Hole 055 at Blue Sky and Hole 056 at Thunder North clearly warrant a major follow-up drilling campaign. The Rabbit North property is accessible year-round and Tower plans to commence drilling in March. Methods and Qualified Person. The drill core was logged at Tower's leased, fully equipped core facility near Kamloops by Matthew Husslage, P.Geo. and Ryan Parsons, G.I.T. Mr. Husslage has managed or co-managed all of Tower's Rabbit North diamond drilling programs since the discovery of the Lightning Zone in December 2021. Split samples of the core, generally 1.0 or 1.0 or 1.5 m in length, were delivered directly to Activation Laboratories (ActLabs) in Kamloops, BC, a laboratory certified as ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited (Lab 790) by the Standards Council of Canada.
