(TSXV: TWR)  (\"Tower\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that it is preparing to resume diamond drilling on the newly discovered Lightning Zone on the Company's Rabbit North property near Kamloops, British Columbia, between New Gold's New Afton underground Cu-Au mine and Teck's Highland Valley open pit Cu-Mo mine (see Fig. 1), and that it has identified a strong new gold grain dispersal train along a major, parallel structure 1 km to the west.Diamond Drilling ProgramSix to eight holes are planned on the Lightning Zone to expand the zone both laterally and to depth near the long gold intersections of discovery hole RN21-026 (95 m of 1.40 g/t Au including 19.2 m of 4.21 g/t Au) and follow-up holes RN22-028 (138 m of 1.55 g/t Au including 24.5 m of 4.76 g/t Au) and RN22-029 (70.5 m of 1.78 g/t Au including 13.5 m of 4.92 g/t Au) (see Fig. 2 and Tower's January 11 and June 22, 2022 press releases).Several holes will be drilled along strike at 50 m step-outs both south-southeast and north-northwest of Hole 026 based on the north-northwest strike of the Lightning Zone determined from the six-hole March-April drilling program (see Fig. 2 and Tower's July 13, 2022 press release). One hole may be drilled down the steeply dipping zone to better gauge its potential depth which is already known to be substantial because Hole 028 exited the zone at a vertical depth of approximately 150 m (500 feet). Durand Creek TrainThe new gold grain dispersal train, named the Durand Creek Train (see Fig. 3), resulted from the two till heavy mineral surveys that Tower performed on the Southern Extension and eastern and western parts of the Core Claims in May and October, 2021 (see Tower's August 10 and November 12, 2021 press releases).The inaugural May survey identified a wide gold grain dispersal train originating in the till overlying the Cu-Au endowed Durand Stock on the eastern part of the Core Claims, east of Durand Creek, and extending down-ice at 150° for 5-10 km over a 3 km embayment in the claims and onto the Southern Extension claims (see Fig. 4). The tail of dispersal train on the Southern Extension ...
