Vancouver, B.C. - Tower Resources Ltd., (TSX.V: TWR) has commenced its 2016 exploration program at its 100% controlled More Creek property in the Golden Triangle region, northwest British Columbia.
The 6,430 hectare More Creek property is located near the centre of the Golden Triangle and is considered prospective for epithermal gold and silver mineralization. The property is approximately 55 kilometers north of Pretium Resources' significant Brucejack development project which contains a Measured and Indicated mineral resource of 9.1 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 17.2 grams per tonne gold (source, Pretium's July 21st, 2016 Press Release).
This initial reconnaissance style geological mapping and prospecting program will be conducted by a highly experienced team of two economic geologists. Based on historic work (see Tower's August 16th, 2016 news release), it is suggested that gold mineralization should be targeted vertically below the widespread outcropping argillic alteration zones. The objective this season will be to critically assess the main showings with a focus on understanding the dominant alteration mineralogy, structural controls on hydrothermal brecciation and mapping out the variations in breccia textures. Results from this preliminary work will form an exploration framework for future multidisciplinary programs and will aid in developing vectors to gold and silver mineralization.
The More Creek property is within the Golden Triangle mineral district of northwest British Columbia. This prolific mineral belt contains many significant development projects such as, Pretium Resources' Brucejack deposits, Seabridge Gold's KSM deposits, Teck Resources' and Nova Gold's Galore Creek deposits, Imperial Metals' Red Chris mine and Barrick Gold's past-producing Eskay Creek mine.
More Creek is 120 kilometres north of Stewart, BC and benefits from close proximity to significant infrastructure such as the Northwest Transmission Line, a nearby fixed-wing aircraft runway and Highway 37, all of which are approximately 10 kilometers to the east.
