Tower Resources plc (the "Company" or "Tower" (TRP.L, TRP LN)), the AIM listed

(as Chairman) in settlement of fees due for the period from 1 January 2022 to
31 March 2022, to conserve the Company's working capital.
The warrants are exercisable at a strike price of 0.425 pence ("Warrants"),
which is the same price of the most recent placing announced on 11 August 2021
and a premium of 33% to the closing share price of 0.32 pence per share on 31
December 2021. The Warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years from the
