Tocvan Discovers New High-Grade At-Surface Silver-Gold Zone 900 m East of Pilot Facility at Gran Pilar Project

DRILLS 1.5 M OF 581 G/T AG AND 2.2 G/T AU HERMOSILLO, MX / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2026 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company" or "Tocvan") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(WKN:TV3/A2PE64) is pleased to announce the discovery of a new mineralized silver-gold zone at surface, located just 900 metres east of the planned Pilot Facility (approximately 1,000 m northeast of the Main Zone) at its 100%-owned Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. The new zone was intersected in four drill holes, with three holes returning significant near-surface mineralization. Results confirm a robust vein system and demonstrate strong potential to expand resources in close proximity to planned infrastructure.

Key Highlights: New high-grade discovery at surface adjacent to existing road access, only 900 m east of the Pilot Facility . Standout intercept in hole JES-26-152: 1.5 m grading 2.2 g/t Au and 581 g/t Ag within a broader mineralized zone. 9.2 meters of 0.4 g/t Au and 110 g/t Ag , from 27.5m Consistent near-surface mineralization across multiple holes: 4.6 m @ 0.3 g/t Au & 86 g/t Ag from surface (JES-26-152) 4.6 m @ 0.5 g/t Au & 86 g/t Ag from surface (JES-26-148) 6.1 m @ 0.4 g/t Au & 76 g/t Ag from surface (JES-26-150) Strategic location advantage: Proximity to the permitted 50,000-tonne Pilot Facility supports low-cost development, reduced haulage, and potential integration into near-term production plans. Expansion upside: Mineralization strengthens northward and aligns with a strong soil geochemical anomaly, indicating further potential along the trend.

Vein system confirmation: Multiple holes intersected historic underground workings with surrounding mineralization, validating continuity of the mineralized structure. Why This Matters This new zone adds high-grade, near-surface silver-gold mineralization in immediate proximity to Tocvan's permitted Pilot Facility. W
