Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 14, 2025) - Tower Resources Ltd. (TSXV: TWR) ("Tower" or the "Company") announces it has initiated the spring 2025 diamond drill program to test the high-grade Blue Sky, Thunder and Thunder North gold discoveries on the Company's Rabbit North property near Kamloops, B.C., The program was delayed through spring break-up to improve access to the newly discovered Blue Sky zone, which should greatly benefit our 2025 drilling campaigns.
Blue Sky Zone
Four holes have been designed to test the vertical and lateral continuity of both the wide (31.5 metres along hole), high-grade (4.15 grams per tonne) Au zone intersected near the bottom of discovery hole No. RN-24-055 and the thick (158 m vertically), overlying interval of low-grade (0.75 g/t) Au mineralization (see January 8, 2025, press release).
The high-grade gold zone was intersected at a vertical depth of approximately 200 m but the glacial till down-ice from hole 055 is strongly anomalous in gold grains, suggesting that the gold zone extends to surface. Most of the proposed holes will be positioned to intersect the gold zone closer to surface and thus will be significantly shorter than hole 055, potentially allowing more than four holes to be drilled. Preparations for a summer drilling program are being planned to expand on this spring program.
Background on Hole 055 Au Results
The Blue Sky intersection in Hole 055 spans 31.5 m, from 255 to 286.5 m down hole, and averages 4.15 g/t Au (see Table 1). Seven other gold zones, all diorite hosted like Blue Sky, were intersected higher in the hole, and all but one of the intervals between zones are highly anomalous, suggesting potential for both open pit and underground development. The closest zone, only 15 m above and potentially connected to Blue Sky, returned 2.92 g/t over 9.0 metres.
The diorite immediately below the saprolite, 72.6 m down-hole, and in six of the seven intervals between gold zones, is highly anomalous, typically averaging ~0.3 g/t Au - a common cut-off grade in open pit gold mines.
