Tower Resources Ltd. announced that it has recognized a key structural link between the widely spaced Lightning, Thunder and other orogenic Au zones intersected on its Rabbit North property in the heart of the Kamloops mining district, enabling the Company to develop a systematic drilling program for the property through 2024. Tower's first discovery of gold mineralization of the shear-hosted, Cu-free orogenic type at Rabbit North, the Lightning Zone, and historical Au occurrences of the same type that were inadvertently intersected in a few of the many historical holes that were drilled on the Durand Stock in search of porphyry Cu-Au mineralization, are roughly coincident with an ENE trending fault that is recognizable magnetically. The mineralized part of this fault in the stock appears to be <50 m wide whereas the Au intersections that Tower has since obtained from the volcaniclastic rocks west of the Stock are spread over a 300-m-wide corridor extending from the Lightning Zone northward to a third historical intersection beneath the young Chilcotin basalt flows that cover much of the fertile corridor.

The significant orogenic-type Au intercepts (i.e. those with no associated Cu) from both Tower's drill holes and the historical holes (see Table 1) are highlighted as g/t Au x metres dots, with a threshold of 10 g-m (equivalent to 1 g/t Au over 10 m or 10 g/t over 1 m). The distribution of these Au intercepts indicates that the segment of auriferous fault in the Nicola volcanics has at least three branches, with the Lightning and Thunder Zones Au lying on the South Branch, Thunder North on the Central Branch and the historical basalt-covered intersection on the North Branch. Importantly, the highest Au concentration outside the Lightning Zone is on the Central Branch immediately west of the stock and directly up-ice from the east-central part of the Dominic Lake gold grain dispersal train, suggesting that this area is the long-sought main source of the train.
