CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / October 18, 2023 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(FSE:TV3), is pleased to announce it has completed and signed a Definitive Agreement with a private title owner for the 100% acquisition of 2,172.7 ha immediately adjacent and north of its Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. The area includes highly prospective zones that have seen limited exploration to date, however recent placer mining suggests untested gold and silver potential (see figure 1). Tocvan's technical personnel have already completed initial field reconnaissance to evaluate new target areas, results are pending.

"To finalize this agreement is a major milestone for the Company, completely changing our trajectory towards becoming a producer with significant resource potential." Stated Brodie Sutherland, CEO. "To now be able to explore a much larger area primed for new discoveries and provide immediate expansion potential to Pilar itself gives our shareholders added upside. The acquisition also gives us ample space for future mine infrastructure as we continue to advance Pilar towards production. We look forward to quickly evaluating this new area to begin aggressive drill campaigns targeting expansion and discovery."

Figure 1. Overview of Pilar Expansion Area. Large hydrothermal alteration cells, recent placer mining and similar geology to Pilar all indicate the area is highly prospective for Au-Ag and Cu mineralization. The area has never seen systematic Au-Ag exploration.

Terms of the Agreement

Total cash payments of $4 million USD and 2.5 million common shares will be issued over the 5-year term of the agreement. A total minimum work commitment of $1 million USD is considered over the agreement. The title owner will retain a 2% NSR on the properties acquired. After the initial 5-year term the Company can elect to extend the agreement an additional 10 years by starting advanced royalty payments or purchase full title ownership through an additional cash payment of $500,000 USD.

About the Pilar Property

The Pilar Gold-Silver property has recently returned some of the regions best drill results. Coupled with encouraging gold and silver recovery results from metallurgical test work, Pilar is primed to be a potential near-term producer. Pilar is interpreted as a structurally controlled low-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in andesite rocks. Three primary zones of mineralization have been identified in the north-west part of the property from historic surface work and drilling and are referred to as the Main Zone, North Hill and 4-T. The Main Zone and 4-T trends are open to the southeast and new parallel zones have been recently discovered. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Mineralization extends along a 1.2-km trend, only half of that trend has been drill tested so far. To date, over 23,000 m of drilling has been completed.
