Next Phase Of Exploration At Pilar Gold-Silver Project

CALGARY - Tocvan Ventures Corp. reported the start of the next phase of exploration at Pilar. Work will include detailed mapping and sampling of key targets across the Pilar Gold-Silver Project. The aim of the program will be to advance key targets to drill ready status for a Phase II drill program planned in the next couple of months.

Key Target Areas: Main Zone Extension: 800 meter southeast extension of the Main Zone; Historic drillhole JES-18-03 13.5 m @ 5.6 g/t Au and 22 g/t Ag; 800 meters of anomalous soils with values ranging from 106 ppb to 911 ppb Au; and Rock grab samples including 9.3 g/t Au and 76 g/t Ag. 4-Trench: 600 meter trend that includes the 4-Trench Zone highlighted by: Historic drillhole K-16: 7.5 m @ 3.3 g/t Au and 31 g/t Ag; 600 meters of anomalous soils with values ranging from 118 ppb to 2,030 ppb Au; Rock grab samples including 24 g/t Au and 116 g/t Ag; and Network of historic artisanal workings.

“We are excited to have boots back on the ground at Pilar,” said, VP Exploration, Brodie Sutherland. “The results released for our Phase I drill program show the potential to grow the known extent of mineralization at depth and along strike. The high-grade gold and silver intercepts provide evidence for deep rooted structures which we are just starting to uncover. Detailed mapping and sampling of the surface expressions of these structures will aid in drill targeting as we move towards a Phase II drill program. In addition, the 4-Trench Zone provides the opportunity to discover a parallel trend to the Main Zone of equal significance.”
