Tower Receives Permit for New Diamond Drilling Program at Rabbit North
Tower Resources Resumes Drilling at Rabbit North as Gold Grades Hold Steady Amidst Price Correction

Executive Summary
- Date: 2026-04-23
- Event Type: Operations Update – Permit Approval
- Summary: Tower Resources received regulatory approval to resume diamond drilling at its Rabbit North orogenic gold discovery.
- Scope: Up to 15 approved drill sites mobilized, with a minimum of ten sites planned (some featuring second holes).
- Objectives: Close the untested gap between Thunder North and Blue Sky zones, extend Thunder zone westward toward Durand Creek Fault, and test a historical gold intersection.
- Technical Details: Hole 73 extension targets depth of 300m to test high-grade Thunder North zone; four holes planned for the 400m gap between zones at 50m intervals.
- Geological Context: Targets are "blind" due to glacial till and Miocene basalt lava flows covering Mesozoic basement rocks.
Material Impact
- News Rating: Routine - Positive
- Assessment: The news confirms operational execution following the high-grade assay results released in March 2026 (40.05 g/t Au). While technically positive, it is an administrative step to resume drilling after a holiday pause and does not introduce new geological data or financial terms.
- Market Context: Despite strong drill results in March 2026, the stock price declined from $0.24 (Jan/Feb) to $0.17 (April). This suggests the market has already priced in the exploration progress or remains skeptical about near-term monetization without a resource estimate.
- Expectations: The permit aligns with previous announcements regarding the 3,000m+ drilling program funded in October 2025. It is not unexpected and therefore lacks immediate material upside potential relative to the company size.
