Vancouver B.C. - Tower Resources Ltd., (TSX.V: TWR) has commenced a comprehensive exploration program covering the Company’s 100% controlled More Creek property in the world class Golden Triangle mineral district, northwest British Columbia.
More Creek is an epithermal gold and silver prospect strategically located near the center of the Golden Triangle mineral district. The property is proximal to significant infrastructure such as Highway 37 and the newly completed Northern Transmission Line, both just 10km east of the property boundary. More Creek was acquired by Tower through staking in 2016 (see Tower’s August 16, 2016 news release).
The 6,430 hectare project is 55km north of the Brucejack project (9.1 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 17.2 grams per tonne gold1) currently under construction by Pretium Resources. Other significant development projects in the immediate area include; Seabridge Gold’s KSM deposit, Teck Resources’ and Nova Gold’s Galore Creek deposits and Imperial Metal’s Red Chris mine.
Exploration by Tower in 2016 consisted of the collection of rock-chip samples at the Sinter Zone and stream sediment samples in the creeks draining the Sinter and Logan Ridge zones (see Tower’s December 6, 2016 press release). Highly anomalous gold grain and indicator mineral counts in stream sediments coupled with elevated pathfinder elements in rock-chip samples, and high-level epithermal textures identified in outcrop were considered significant and warranted systematic follow-up. Property-wide geological mapping, prospecting, and geochemical soil, rock and stream sediment sampling program will be undertaken. The 2017 program is designed to investigate the source of the gold sampled in the preliminary stream sediment survey and to develop a stronger geological and structural model for the property.
