[{"type":"text","content":"Tower Receives Infill Assays for 2021 Exploration Drill Holes at Rabbit North Revealing New Footwall Au Zones in Hole 027; Key Assays Pending for 2022 Delineation Drill Holes on Lightning ZoneVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 7, 2022) - Tower Resources Ltd. (TSXV: TWR) (\"Tower\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that it has received the assays for the previously uncut core sections from the first four diamond drill holes 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).The four holes, RN21-024 to 027, were exploratory holes drilled in December, 2021, to probe a 300 m prospective corridor for the source of the strong Dominic Lake gold grain dispersal train (see Fig. 2) which had been outlined in the glacial till that covers the bedrock (see Tower's November 12, 2021 press release). The third hole, No. 026, was successful, intersecting a visibly pyritized shear zone that subsequently assayed 1.40 g/t Au over 95 m, including 19.2 m of 4.21 g/t Au (see Tower's January 11, 2022 press release) and has been christened the Lightning Zone. The fourth and final hole, No. 027, was drilled from the same pad with the hope of hitting the zone from a different angle.In December, only the visually interesting core was cut and analyzed, mostly that containing pyrite which in the Lightning Zone is a good indicator of gold content. Most of the remaining, less interesting core was processed during Tower's recent six-hole delineation drilling program on the Lightning Zone. These \"housekeeping\" analyses are discussed below. The assays from the new, zone-focused, visually interesting (see Tower's May 03, 2022 press release) 2022 drill holes, RN22-028 to 033, are pending. They will guide Tower's next delineation drilling program on the Lightning Zone.The complete Au and Cu analyses for discovery Hole 026 are shown in Figure 3. As seen, the Lightning Zone is Au-rich but contains little Cu because the only sulphide mineral associated with the Au is pyrite. However a 15.0 m zone averaging 0.27% Cu and 0.39 g/t Au was intersected at the bottom of the hole. The Cu and Au grades of this zone are typical of the widespread porphyry-type mineralization that is associated with the nearby Durand Stock. ...
