Tocvan restarts drilling at Gran Pilar project in Sonora, Mexico

Tocvan Ventures has resumed exploration drilling astatine the South Block of its Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project successful the mining portion of Sonora, Mexico.

This inaugural is targeting recently identified, high-priority areas utilizing information from caller drone magnetic surveys, aboveground geochemical sampling and geological mapping. The purpose is to grow the region's assets potential.

The Gran Pilar Project spans much than 22km², divided into the South Block, which focuses connected known mineralisation expansion, and the North Block, which consists of mostly unexplored zones with high-grade aboveground samples.

The South Block covers astir 8km² and is wholly controlled by Tocvan.

It extends from the historical Main Zone, with caller developments specified arsenic an entree roadworthy and aggregate drill pads facilitating the caller signifier of drilling.

The drilling volition prioritise expanding the Main Zone and exploring undrilled corridors with promising past intercepts, specified arsenic 19.4 grams per tonne (g/t) golden implicit 3.1m wrong 106.6m of 0.6g/t gold.

The restart comes aft 3 condemnation holes were successfully drilled astatine the Pilot Mine site, verifying the area's suitability for aboriginal development.

Ongoing mentation enactment is being carried retired astatine the site. Additionally, 2 exploration holes person already been completed astatine the South Block.

The drone survey identified a important structural analyzable that correlates with precocious golden and metallic values observed successful erstwhile aboveground samples, which recorded up to 21.2g/t golden and much than 2,000g/t silver.

Following the completion of condemnation drilling, each efforts are focused connected exploration targets to enactment Tocvan's assets enlargement strategy.

The institution plans to behaviour up to 10,000m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling successful this archetypal signifier astatine the South Block, with possibilities for enlargement based connected outcomes.

A 2nd drill rig is acceptable for enactment successful the North Block, and determination is imaginable for a 3rd rig to accelerate progress.

Tocvan is committed to advancing some sections done methodical exploration, supported by existing permits for further drilling and trenching activities.

Tocvan CEO Brodie Sutherland said: “This restart marks an breathtaking measurement guardant successful unlocking the untapped imaginable of the South Block. The integration of magnetic information with our aboveground geochemistry has pinpointed compelling caller targets that align with our strategy for assets expansion.

“Completing the condemnation holes astatine the Pilot Mine clears the way for improvement portion allowing america to prioritise high-impact exploration drilling. We are anxious to trial these areas, which could importantly heighten the project's wide worth and enactment our way toward aviator production.”
