VANCOUVER B.C. / TheNewswire /
Tower Resources Ltd. ("Tower" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the Company’s 2017 exploration activities
and its 2018 objectives. During calendar 2017 Tower executed three successful exploration programs focused on the Company’s
Rabbit North, Nechako Gold and More Creek exploration projects in British Columbia. Additionally, Tower added a fourth mineral
property to the project portfolio by entering into an option agreement with Goldcorp Inc on the Voigtberg gold-copper project in
the heart of the Golden Triangle in Northwestern BC (see Tower Press Release, December 19, 2017).
Rabbit North
The focus of Tower’s 2017 field season was work at our flagship Rabbit North copper-gold
property located in the resource-rich region of south-central British Columbia. The company completed a
3238-metre diamond drill campaign focused on step-out drilling and target definition at the Western Magnetite and Chrysocolla
Zones. Targeting untested areas of favourable geology and geophysics, the 2017 drill program reported the best
intercept on property to date from drill-hole RN17-015 , including 247m of 0.51%
Cu and 0.34g/t Au. Development of further drill targets on the property through geological mapping, re-logging of
historic core, geophysical inversions and subsequent shallow Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling will be completed in spring of 2018.
Diamond drill testing of existing and newly developed target areas below till cover within and outboard of historically
explored areas is planned for fall of 2018.
Nechako Gold
Following up on highly encouraging results from the ground geophysical Induced Polarization (IP) survey
completed on the property in June 2017 and the significant 2016 gold-in-till sample results, Tower completed 38 Reverse Circulation
(RC) drill holes on the property in fall of 2017 to sample till and test bedrock below till cover in priority target areas on the
property. Results from the 2017 drill program have been partially received and interpretation in underway. Diamond drill
testing of a newly identified target area in the southwest of the property is planned for spring of 2018.
More Creek
Tower completed a two-week field program on the More Creek property in August of 2017. Work
completed included geological mapping, prospecting and property-wide geochemical silt and soil sampling. Key areas of
structure and alteration were evaluated, and interpretations of the project geology and property prospectivity are ongoing.
Fieldwork on the property in 2018 will be completed in combination with planned exploration programs on the nearby Voightberg
property.
Voigtberg
Tower plans to systematically explore the Voigtberg property in 2018, with detailed geological and geochemical
work and drill-target definition within the extensive surface alteration and mineralization exposed on the property. Poorly
explored areas of cover below treeline on the property will also be investigated with detailed prospecting and geochemical
sampling.
Funding
With approximately $2.5 million in cash on hand, Tower is fully financed to carry out 2018 exploration programs at
Rabbit, Nechako Gold and in the Golden Triangle. During 2017 the Company spent a combined total of approximately $1.1 million on
exploration.
Appointment of Non-Executive Chairman of the Board
The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Wyman as non-executive chairman
of the board of directors of the Company. Mr. Wyman has served as a member of the board since October of 2010 providing financial
and capital markets expertise as well as serving as a member of the Audit Committee.
