(TSXV: TWR) (\"Tower\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that all assays have now been received from the April-May diamond drilling program on the Company's Nechako Gold property in south-central B.C. (Fig. 1). Thirteen holes, Nos. APR21-18 to 30 (Fig. 2), were drilled for a total of 2019.8 metres. The main focus of the drilling was on expanding both the original Discovery Zone that was intersected last year in Hole 10 on the April Trend and the new zone (2.0 g/t Au and 7.2 g/t Ag over 7.3 m; see Tower's April 28, 2021, press release) that was intersected in the first hole of the current drilling program, No. 18, on the parallel Pond Trend to the northeast.The main highlights, all from the Pond Trend, include:Further increasing the width of the upper part of the mineralized zone in Hole 18 from 7.3 m to 8.2 m at the same 2.0 g/t Au and 7.2 g/t Ag grade, and the total width of the zone to 14.7 m at a grade of 1.3 g/t Au and 6.1 g/t Ag.A high-grade intercept of 18.9 g/t Au and 98.6 g/t Ag over 0.6 m at a depth of 100 m in Hole 19 at the north end of April Pond (Fig. 2.) 300 m northwest along strike from Hole 18, the first indication of deep, high-grade mineralization along the Pond Trend.A second, supportive, high-grade intercept of 17.5 g/t Au and 20.7 g/t Ag over 0.6 m at a depth of 218 m in Hole 26, a vertical hole 75 m southwest across strike from Hole 18.The gold-fertile Pond and April Trends consist of siltstone-mudstone horizons approximately 60 m thick between the tholeiitic basalt flows that dominate the Nechako Gold property. Numerous faults and shear zones were intersected along both mineralized trends. These structures are manifested as broad zones of brecciated to crushed rock with local clay seams.The faults post-date the Au-Ag mineralization and are particularly abundant near the mineralized zones where the host rocks were weakened by both early biotitic and later sericite-silica alteration. One such fault is evidently present between Holes 18 and 30 on the Pond Trend because Hole 30 was drilled just 25 m northwest across strike from and parallel to Hole ...
