[{"type":"text","content":"Calgary, Alberta - TheNewswire – November 10, 2021 - Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) (CSE:TOC) (CNSX:TOC.CN) (OTC:TCVNF) (WKN:TV3/A2PE64), is pleased to announce the commencement of field operations at its Pilar Au-Ag Project in Sonora, Mexico. Building off of the success of last year, the company looks to evaluate surface mineralization with trenching and channel sampling followed by a series of column leach studies on representative sites across the Main Zone. In addition, drilling is planned with between 5,000 to 8,000 meters estimated between now and July of 2022. Drilling will focus on continued step-out drilling along the Main Zone and new 4-Trench Trend. Exploration drilling will continue to evaluate target areas along the Triple Vein Zone. Surface exploration work will continue with trenching and sampling along the southeastern extension of the Main Zone. 2021/2022 Operation Plans Trenching of Main Zone for bulk sampling and column leach study 5,000 to 8,000 meters of drilling Drilling to include: Step-outs of Main Zone targets Step-out and Exploration drilling along 4 Trench trendExploration drilling along Triple Vein Zone Surface trenching, sampling and target evaluation. “We are extremely excited to be operating once again at Pilar.”, commented VP Exploration, Brodie Sutherland. “Last year was very successful in growing the potential size of the mineralized system at Pilar, we look forward to building off that success again this year with continued drilling and trenching across the property. In addition, bulk sample composites taken from surface will aim to show our mineralized oxide zone is amenable to conventional heap leach processes.” Operation Details Metallurgical Studies Trenching across the near-surface mineralized portions of the Main Zone will be completed for channel sampling and later bulk sampling. Several bulk sample composites will be collected for detailed column leach study. Later metallurgical drill holes will be completed across the Main Zone to compare the recovery of gold at depth. Bottle roll cyanidation studies from two RC chip composites taken in 2021 returned: Composite One – 1.15g/t Au and 12.2g/t Ag head grade returned, 90% recovery of Au and 84% recovery of Ag. Composite Two – 0.63 g/t Au and 6.7 g/t Ag head grade, 92% recovery of Au and 70% recovery of Ag. Dril...
