(TSXV: TWR) (\"Tower\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that it has received gold assays for the first two of the six follow-up holes drilled in April on the recently 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).The two new holes, RN22-028 and 029, were drilled on a section 50 m northeast of Discovery Hole 026 (see Fig. 2) which intersected 1.40 g/t Au over 95 m, including 4.21 g/t Au over 19.2 m (see Tower's January 11, 2022 press release). They were drilled toward one another in scissors fashion, at right angles to the inferred northeasterly (040°) strike of the shear-hosted Lightning Zone, with the objective of determining its dip. Hole 028 was drilled to the southeast (130°) while Hole 029 was drilled to the northwest (310°). Both holes passed completely through the zone, thereby establishing not only its dip, which is essentially vertical (see Fig. 3), but also its true thickness which is a remarkable 40 metres.Hole 028:Hole 028 was drilled very steeply at -80° and thus cut the gold zone obliquely, increasing the length of the mineralized interval. It averaged 1.55 g/t Au over 138.0 m, including 4.76 g/t Au over 24.5 m, with both grades being a little higher than those of the comparable intervals in the discovery hole. The gold grade is remarkably uniform with only one high assay (43.6 g/t) over 1 ounce per ton (34.37 g/t) from 119 consecutive samples across the zone. The hole exited the southeast side of the gold zone at a vertical depth of 174 m, demonstrating that the zone continues uninterrupted to depth.Hole 029:Hole 029 was drilled at a more moderate dip of -60° and thus crossed the gold zone more squarely. The Au grade again increased slightly, averaging 1.78 g/t over 70.5 m, including 4.92 g/t over 13.5 m. A satellite zone ~10 m northwest of the main zone averaged 0.93 g/t over 16.0 m.Stu ...
