Tower Resources completes first phase of 2024 drilling program at Rabbit North

Tower Resources (TSXV:TWR) has completed the first phase of its 2024 drilling program on the Rabbit North property in British Columbia's Kamloops mining district. The initial phase involved 1,015 metres of drilling across five holes, from RN24-050 to RN24-054.

The drilling targeted several key areas of interest. Holes RN24-050 and RN24-052 were focused on exploring a potential extension of the magmatic-hydrothermal breccia body discovered last year at the Rainbow porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum site. These holes aimed to assess the continuity and potential expansion of this mineralized zone.

Meanwhile, holes RN24-051, RN24-053, and RN24-054 were drilled to test shear-hosted gold targets identified for this year’s program. Notably, hole RN24-051, positioned along the southern shear trend between the Thunder and Lightning zones, intersected two significant mineralized intervals. It recorded an average of 3.28 g/t gold over 13.3 metres and 2.19 g/t gold over 10.1 metres.

Hole RN24-052, situated northeast of the Lightning zone, explored the central shear trend, while Hole RN24-053 was placed west of the previous year’s Thunder North discovery. This prior discovery hole had assayed 2.04 g/t gold over 25.7 metres, making the new data from RN24-053 particularly relevant.

Looking ahead, Tower Resources is planning a larger drilling campaign set to begin in mid-September, which will include up to ten additional holes. This next phase is expected to build upon the promising results from the initial drilling and further evaluate the Rabbit North property’s potential.

The Rabbit North property has a well-documented exploration history. Major companies such as Kennco, Noranda, and Cominco conducted exploration work in the 1960s and 1970s. More recently, junior companies like ProAm Exploration and Auterra Ventures explored the property in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
