Tocvan Ventures Corp. announced surface exploration results from its road accessible Pilar gold-silver project in the mine-friendly State of Sonora, Mexico. Surface mapping and sampling across the property have returned very high-grade silver with gold values tied to historic artisanal workings 6-kilometers north of Pilar's Main Zone.

Two samples yielded 1,225 g/t Ag with 3.2 g/t Au (slag sample 334067, 4.49 kg) and 744 g/t Ag with 0.2 g/t Au (sample 334066, 3.65 kg) from sample material next to the workings. The host rocks are intensely argillized and silicified volcanics showing an association with a larger hydrothermal system that trends within the newly acquired Pilar expansion area. The samples also show higher polymetallic association with sample 334067 returning 0.42% Cu, 3.4% Zn, and over 20% Pb (assay over limit was reached, additional analysis is required to determine total Pb content).

A broader alteration zone that extends 3.3 kilometers by 1.5 kilometers has seen very limited work to date however early results indicate significant mineralization in several locations including 2m at 5.6 g/t Au and 106 g/t Ag, 0.3 g/t Au and 55 g/t Ag, and 0.1 g/t Au and 63 g/t Ag. The massive target area will continue to see first pass evaluation to advance towards drill targeting. Pilar Extension North and Northeast: Surface sampling returned 3.5 g/t Au and 645 g/t Ag Placer Mining Corridors.

New 3-kilometer corridor with multiple target zones. New Surface Discovery in 3-kilometer long alteration zone returned: 2-meters of 5.6 g/t Au and 106 g/t Ag, 0.2 g/t Au and 744 g/t Ag, 3.2 g/t Au and 1,225 g/t Ag, 0.3 g/t Au and 55 g/t Ag, 0.1 g/t Au and 63 g/t Ag.
