Tower Resources Ltd. reported that it has completed the first follow-up diamond drill holes on the newly discovered Rainbow porphyry Cu-Au-Mo and younger, shear-hosted Thunder Au zones on its Rabbit North property in the heart of the Kamloops mining district. Drilling Summary and Objectives. Four holes, Nos.RN23-046 to 049 totaling 1052.2 m, were drilled.

Holes 046 and 047 targeted the Thunder Zone and Holes 048 and 049 targeted the Rainbow Zone. Both mineralized zones are completely covered by >15 m of glacial till and partly covered by up to 40 m of pre-glacial Chilcotin basalt flows. A lateritic weathering profile up to 60 m thick is preserved beneath the basalt, indicating significant potential for supergene enrichment of the primary sulphide mineralization.

The Rainbow Zone is hosted by a magmatic hydrothermal (MH) breccia that was generated at depth by de-gassing of an overpressurized dioritic magma chamber. The fine-grained intrusive matrix of this breccia contains 5-10% magnetite, allowing the probable extent of the breccia, and thus also the potential extent of the Rainbow Zone, to be ascertained from the ground magnetic data. However, the Hole 041 intersection appears to lie directly on the main corridor of shearing and quartz-feldspar porphyry (QFP) injection in the area - the Lightning Trend - suggesting that Hole 039 may have intersected a separate, parallel splay shear.

Follow-up Holes 046 and 041 would ideally have been sited midway between Holes 039 and 041 but this corridor is a protected riparian zone along a small creek. Instead, the holes were collared further north, where the till cover is thinnest, and focused solely on investigating the Hole 039 Au intersection. Hole 046 was drilled south-southwest for 275.2 m at a flat, -45deg dip on the assumption that it would cross the Thunder Zone near the Hole 039 intersection whether the Au zone strikes south-southeast or east-northeast.

Hole 047 was oriented west-southwest at a -60deg dip to either verify or reject the single zone model. It was collared very close to the projected south-southeast trend for this model and therefore was drilled only to 117.0 metres. Next Steps.

Tower plans to release the analytical results from the drilling program after all of the assays have been received and evaluated.
