Tocvan Ventures Corp. (TCVNF) has announced significant core drilling results at its Gran Pilar Gold Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. The company discovered the highest-grade gold interval ever found outside the Main Zone, located 300 meters east on the North Hill Trend.
Key findings include:
- Hole JES-25-108: 1.2 g/t Au and 14 g/t Ag over 64.9 meters from surface, including 21.6 g/t Au and 209 g/t Ag over 3.0 meters
- Hole JES-25-107: 0.2 g/t Au and 5 g/t Ag over 108.2 meters from surface
The high-grade mineralization was found in a highly fractured near-surface fault zone with quartz veining. The company plans future trenching to evaluate the extent of high-grade mineralization for potential pilot mine feed. Results are pending for three additional holes in the ten-hole drilling program totaling 1,167.5 meters.

The high-grade mineralization was found within a broader zone averaging 1.3 g/t Au over 83.5 meters. Adjacent trench sampling averaged 1.9 g/t Au and 9 g/t Ag over 14m. A second core hole, JES-25-103, returned anomalous gold, silver, and copper values, averaging 0.1 g/t Au, 8 g/t Ag, and 0.54% Cu over 34.7 meters.
The company is planning a pilot facility at Pilar with aims to process up to 50,000 tonnes of material in early 2025. Previous metallurgical studies have shown promising recovery rates of 95-99% for gold and 73-97% for silver using gravity recovery with agitated leach.
Tocvan Ventures Corp. (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF) has announced a significant new gold discovery from Reverse Circulation drilling at its Gran Pilar Gold Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. The company completed four drill holes totaling 776.2 meters on their 100% controlled expansion area north of known mineralized trends.
Scout hole JES-24-101 discovered high-grade gold, returning 19.8 meters of 3.1 g/t Au from surface, including 3.1m of 19.4 g/t Au, within a broader 106.8-meter section averaging 0.6 g/t Au. This result is the best yet outside the Main Zone and is located 250m from last year's drillhole JES-24-79, which returned 42.7 meters of 1.0 g/t Au.
Another scout hole, JES-24-102, returned 16.8 meters of 0.4 g/t Au and 6 g/t Ag, representing the northernmost successful hit of mineralization on the property. The company plans immediate follow-up drilling to further evaluate the area's potential, with recent surface sampling indicating mineralization continues 700m north and 2,000m east.
