Tocvan drills 0.6 g/t Au over 215 m at Mezquite Trend Gran Pilar
HERMOSILLO, MX / ACCESS Newswire / August 6, 2026 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company" or "Tocvan") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(WKN:TV3/A2PE64) is pleased to announce a significant new near-surface gold-silver discovery at its 100%-owned Gran Pilar Project in Sonora, Mexico. Hole JES-26-155 returned 215 metres of 0.6 g/t gold from 36.6 metres downhole, one of the best intercepts drilled on the project to date. Along the 1.2-kilometre El Mezquite trend, this new discovery is just 1,900 metres east of the planned pilot production facility along existing road infrastructure. The intersection can be broken into an upper (86.9 m of 0.6 g/t Au) and lower zone (70.2 m of 0.9 g/t Au) separated by a continuous zone of anomalous mineralization. Three high grade intervals were encountered (Figure 2.) with values up to 16.0 g/t Au and 57 g/t Ag over 1.5 m. Results in this release are from five Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 1,244.5 meters. A total of 10,098 meters has been drilled so far this year, results for 5,521 meters are pending.
Key Highlights:
NEW Discovery along the 1.2 km long El Mezquite trend.
Near surface mineralized zone returned 215 m of 0.6 g/t Au from 36.6m downhole
Upper Zone of 86.9 m of 0.6 g/t Au
with 1.5 m of 9.3 g/t Au and 1.5 m of 16.0 g/t Au and 57 g/t Ag
Lower Zone of 70.2 m of 0.9 g/t Au
with 6.1 m of 4.9 g/t Au and 27 g/t Ag incl., 1.5 m of 10.0 g/t Au and 74 g/t Ag
Reported intervals are drilled widths. True widths are unknown but estimated to be within the range of 60-80% of drilled widths
600 meters south of initial discovery along the El Mezquite trend
