RN25-063 to 067 - targeted the Blue Sky gold trend and one - No. 069 - stepped eastward 100 m from the Thunder North zone toward Blue Sky with the goal of further closing the 500-m gap between these zones which is almost completely covered by 30 to 40 m of young Chilcotin basalt lava flows and thin, underlying alluvial gravels.Figure 1 - Geology of the central part of the Rabbit North property showing the major shear structures controlling Tower's gold discoveries. These shear zones are roughly coincident with more recent graben fault valleys that have been infilled by Chilcotin basalt flows.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/5023/284445_1a3b2bdae4bbdb5b_002full.jpgHighlightsWhile every hole returned multiple Au intersections greater than 1 g/t (See Table 1), Blue Sky's No. 064 and Thunder North's No. 069 yielded highlight intersections that vividly illustrate the pervasiveness, strength and near-surface economic potential of the Rabbit North orogenic gold system.Hole 064 at Blue Sky intersected 172.74 m of shallow, diorite-hosted mineralization averaging 0.65 g/t Au (see Table 1) in the Durand Stock beginning immediately below 40 m of cover rocks (see Fig. 2). This intersection, together with other long intersections of a similar grade in Hole 065 (80.0 m of 0.64 g/t Au; see Table 1) and the section of discovery Hole 055 above the Blue Sky zone (198.75 m of 0.69 g/t Au; see December 23, 2024 press release), outlines a near-surface, open-pit-friendly resource footprint near the diorite-volcanic contact measuring approximately 120 x 140 metres horizontally. Similar mineralization breaches the bedrock surface, and thus is reflected by highly anomalous gol...
