Tocvan Ventures Corp. announced drill results from its 2024 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program at its road accessible Pilar Gold-Silver project in mine-friendly Sonora, Mexico. To date, the 2024 drill program has completed 3,268 meters across 26 drill holes.

Results for eight drill holes are currently pending analysis. Results highlight two step-out drill holes on the Main Zone and North Hill trends and one infill drill hole on the North Hill Trend. Step-out hole JES-24-88 tested a blind target on trend and 130-meters northwest of previously released drillhole JES-24-79 which returned 42.7 meters of 1.0 g/t Au.

JES -24-88 returned 24.4 meters of 0.2 g/t Au and 4 g/t Ag including 1.5 meters of 1.1 g/t Au and 25 g/t Ag. The trend remains open to the north, northwest and east where no previous drilling has been completed, surface sampling and mapping is currently underway to locate the continuation of the trend on surface. The North Hill Trend now extends for over 500 meters with room to expand along the trends northwest and southeastern extents.

Step-out hole JES 24-89 tested the northwest continuation of the Main Zone Trend, 230-meters northwest of the heart of the Main Zone. Six separate zones of anomalous mineralization were intersected with gold values up to 0.2 g/t Au, silver values up to 8 g/t Ag and copper values up to 0.3% Cu. Infill hole JES-24-90 tested an area 115-meters southeast of JES-24-79 (mentioned above).

Two isolated zones of mineralization were intersected with elevated pathfinder elements recorded at the bottom of the hole. The drillhole targeted the northwest extension of the North Hill Trend where surface sampling is limited. The hole was drilled due east with a 45-degree angle dip.

Recent drillhole JES-24-79, 130-meters to the southeast returned broad low- grade mineralization with a high-grade core (42.7-meters of 1.0 g/t Au, including 3.1 meters of 10.9 g/t Au). The hole hit a blind zone of mineralization starting at 42.7-meters (21-meters from surface). Mineralization continued to a downhole depth of 102.2-meters.

Elevated gold, silver, copper are recorded in the hole with elevated pathfinder elements arsenic, molybdenum and antimony. Across the 59.5-meter zone of mineralization gold values up to 1.1 g/t Au were recorded averaging 0.1 g/t Au. Silver values up to 25 g/t Ag were recorded averaging 2 g/t Ag.

Copper values up to 0.2% Cu were recorded averaging 217 ppm. Arsenic values up to 2,360 ppm were recorded averaging 151 ppm. Mineralization remains open in all directions from the hole which is the northern most hole drilled to date across the propoerty.

Infill Along the North Hill Trend JES-24-90 The drillhole targeted an infill area 120-meters southeast of JES-24-79 along the North Hill Trend. The hole was drilled vertical to 100.7 meters depth. Two anomalous zones of mineralization were recorded with gold values up to 0.1 g/t Au and pathfinder arsenic up to 202 ppm.

Elevated arsenic with gold was recorded at the very bottom of the hole indicating the potential for mineralization at depth. The drillhole targeted the northwest extension of the Main Zone Trend where surface sampling is limited but thought to continue onto the expansion area. The hole was drilled at a 045 azimuth and 45-degree dip.

Six separate anomalous intervals were recoded across a 96.1-meter zone starting at 19.8-meters down hole depth (10-meters from surface). Values up to 0.2 g/t Au, 8 g/t Ag, 0.3% Cu, 96 ppm As and 24 ppm Mo were recorded indicating that the mineralization system does continue. Surface sampling is underway to further evaluate the extension to the north.
