These assays extend the Thunder North discovery 250 m along strike to the east at double the gold grade of the 2023 discovery intersection.Hole 056 Au Results Hole 056 was the second hole of Tower's four-hole October 2024 diamond drilling program. It was drilled ~250 m east along strike from Hole 039, Tower's 2023 discovery hole on the Thunder North Zone, to test for possible continuation of the gold mineralization beyond a disruptive monzonite dyke 50 m east of Hole 039 (see Fig. 2). Hole 056 successfully intersected 15.85 m of continuous gold mineralization averaging 5.80 g/t Au between 139.5 and 155.35 m down-hole (see Table 1). The overall 15.85 m gold zone is bookended by higher grade intervals of 4.5 m averaging 13.97 g/t Au at the top of the section, including 0.75 m of 65.30 g/t Au, and 4.35 m averaging 5.70 g/t Au at the bottom of the section. Together with Hole 055 which discovered the new Blue Sky Zone ~1 km to the northeast with an initial intersection of 31.5 m averaging 4.15 g/t Au overlain by 158 m (vertical thickness) of highly anomalous to significantly mineralized diorite averaging 0.75 g/t Au (see December 23 press release), Hole 056 demonstrates how quickly Tower is building a significant gold resource at Rabbit North. Only 36 holes totaling 10,000 m have been drilled, with only half exploring outside Tower's original 2021 Lightning Zone discovery yet delivering three new discoveries of successively higher Au grades.TotalDepth(m)Mineralized Interval(s)Average Au Grade(g/t)Hole No.Easting(m)Northing(m)Azimuth(°)Dip(°)Mineralized Zone(s)From(m)To(m)Length(m)           RN24-0566630145607544143.0-60200Thunder North139.50155.3515.855.80Including139.50144.004.5013.97Including139.50140.250.7565.30Including151.00155.354.355.70 Table 1 - Significant g...
