Tower Commences 3000 M Diamond Drilling Program At Rabbit North Focused On Expanding The High-Grade Thunder North And Blue Sky Gold Zones Along Strike And To Depth
Drilling Objectives
The current 3000-m drilling program represents a major expansion from the succession of 1000-m programs that sequentially discovered the Lightning, Thunder, Thunder North and Blue Sky gold zones (see Fig. 1). Approximately 12 holes are planned. The drilling will focus mainly on the Thunder North and Blue Sky zones. A major objective will be to extend these zones further east along strike from the strongly mineralized intersections encountered in the most easterly holes on the zones in the Company's latest (May 2025) drilling program - 19.0 m of 4.93 g/t Au in Hole RN-25-062 at Thunder North ( see July 22, 2025 press release) and 6.02 m of 23.63 g/t Au in Hole RN-25-060 at Blue Sky ( see July 10, 2025 press release ).
Also, as most previous holes at Thunder North and Blue Sky intersected the gold zones at depths of less than 150 metres, the current drilling will test the continuity of the mineralization to depths of up to 300 metres. In addition, a few holes at Blue Sky will target the roughly north-south trending contact between the Nicola volcanics and Durand diorite rather than the principal ENE gold trend to determine the extent to which this contact is also mineralized.

Next Steps
Assuming that the present drilling campaign is as successful as the Company's recent campaigns in which the "hit rate" averaged ~50%, the Company expects to expand the program to 5000 metres. Potential drill sites up to 800 m east of the Blue Sky zone are currently being selected and submitted for approval to allow preliminary testing of the strong gold grain anomalies identified in the Company's October till heavy mineral survey (see November 3, 2025 press release ).
