TOCVAN ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF DARIN WAGNER AS SPECIAL ADVISOR

Tocvan Ventures Corp. has appointed Darin Wagner, P.Geo., as Special Advisor, marking a significant strategic move as the company advances its flagship Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project toward production. Wagner brings exceptional credentials to the role, with over 35 years of mineral exploration and corporate development experience, including co-founding West Timmins Mining (acquired for $424 million) and Balmoral Resources (acquired for $140 million). His expertise spans mesothermal, epithermal, and porphyry gold systems, directly aligning with Tocvan's epithermal gold-silver targets in Sonora, Mexico.

The appointment comes at a pivotal time for Tocvan, as recent drilling has delivered strong results including 19.4 g/t Au over 3.1 meters and 136 g/t Ag over 10.7 meters. The Gran Pilar Project spans over 22 square kilometers of prospective ground with two primary target areas: the South Block expanding the historic Main Zone, and the North Block featuring a 3.2 km by 1.5 km alteration zone. Historical drilling highlights include impressive intersections such as 94.6m @ 1.6 g/t Au and metallurgical testing showing up to 99% gold recovery.

Wagner's appointment strengthens Tocvan's technical and strategic advisory capabilities at a time when gold prices are at record highs. His experience in corporate growth, M&A transactions, and successful mine development will be invaluable as Tocvan positions itself for near-term production. The company maintains a 100% interest in most of the Gran Pilar property and has outlined plans for a 50,000-tonne pilot production facility, supported by robust metallurgical results and strategic land acquisitions providing space for scalable infrastructure.

This strategic hire reflects Tocvan's commitment to advancing from explorer to producer in Mexico's mining-friendly Sonora jurisdiction. With Wagner's guidance on exploration strategies and corporate initiatives, combined with the company's strong drill results and metallurgical success, Tocvan appears well-positioned to unlock significant value from its high-potential gold-silver assets. The appointment signals management's confidence in the project's potential and their commitment to delivering substantial shareholder returns in the current favorable gold market environment.
