Vancouver, B.C. - Tower Resources Limited ("the Company") announces diamond drilling initiative at its flagship JD Property aimed at confirming and expanding known high grade, near surface, gold-silver mineralization within several zones.
Objectives:
The 2012 exploration and drilling program will focus on expansion and definition of the Finn, Creek and Moosehorn zones. All gold -- silver zones identified to date have the potential for significant expansion along strike and at depth. The program will also include work on targets to the north and south of the Finn Zone as well as on the newly optioned Belle property to the southeast.
Program Summary:
- 3000 metres of diamond drilling commencing mid July;
- Confirmation and exploration drilling at the Finn Zone;
- Exploration drilling at the Creek and Mooeshorn Zones;
- Detailed soil sampling (up to 2500 samples) from the Finn Zone west to the Creek Zone and south to the Moosehorn Creek;
- Mapping, sampling and prospecting of multiple other targets on both the JD and Belle claims.
Tower has received a Notice of Work permit from the B.C. government authorizing a 20-hole surface drilling program as well as an induced polarization (IP) survey and camp construction at JD. A contract has been signed with Ridgeline Diamond Drilling Ltd., an experienced Smithers based drilling contractor, to carry out the drilling at JD.
Tower has acquired assay data from over 30,000 meters of historic drilling at the JD property, and has begun compiling and developing preliminary 3D geological and resource models. The three main targets identified are the aforementioned Finn, Creek and Moosehorn zones. The Creek and Moosehorn zones are three kilometres west and 7.5 kilometres southwest of the Finn Zone respectively. Preliminary interpretations from these models indicate that gold and silver mineralizated zones remain open in numerous directions and at depth.
President Mark Vanry states "We are extremely excited to begin our exploration activities on the JD project this summer. Our data compilation efforts so far have outlined numerous drill targets that remain open in multiple directions."
