Tocvan Announces Positive Surface Results from North Block and Drill Program Update at Gran Pilar

Tocvan Ventures Corp. has reported encouraging surface sampling results from the North Block area at its Gran Pilar project, with initial surface work across historic mine workings yielding high silver values. This surface exploration represents a significant step forward in understanding the mineralization potential of the property, particularly in areas that have seen historical mining activity.

The company has made substantial progress with its drilling program, completing over 1,300 meters of drilling across the North Block to date, though assay results remain pending. The surface sampling data is providing valuable geological insights that are helping to strengthen and refine target areas for testing higher grade gold potential at greater depths. The identification of mineralized shoots and feeder zones presents particularly promising opportunities for resource expansion.

Of particular significance is the discovery of strong alteration signatures associated with multiple metal assemblages, including silver-lead-zinc-antimony-arsenic and gold-arsenic-antimony-bismuth mineralization. These multi-element signatures suggest a complex hydrothermal system that could host significant precious and base metal mineralization. The coincidence of these alteration zones with identified mineralized shoots and feeder structures provides a strong geological framework for targeting high-grade mineralization.

The ongoing exploration work at Gran Pilar demonstrates Tocvan's systematic approach to advancing the project, with surface sampling informing drill targeting and infrastructure development supporting expanded operations. The combination of historical mining evidence, positive surface results, and comprehensive drilling coverage positions the company well for potential resource definition and expansion in this mineralized system.
