(the “Company”) (CSE:TOC); (OTC:TCVNF); (FSE:TV3), is pleased to announce drilling is ongoing at its El Picacho Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. Initial drilling is focused on two primary areas within the San Ramon Prospect, Las Guijas and San Ramon. Both target areas have returned high-grade gold with silver mineralization associated with historic mine workings. In 2012, three reconnaissance RC drill holes were completed by Timmins Gold. All three drill holes intersected low-grade mineralization and alteration associated with multiple shear-zones, de-risking the potential for continued mineralization at depth. The high-grade corridors associated with the old mine workings were never drill targeted. The Company plans to tie together the low-grade mineralization seen in historic drilling with the high-grade sampled from the workings through targeted drilling. Analysis and interpretation of this data will be used to plan follow-up drilling. El Picacho is host to several other target areas permitted for drilling that span across the 24 km2 project area. \"We are very excited to be drilling at El Picacho where there is no shortage of drill targets to evaluate the potential of this highly prospective area,” stated Brodie Sutherland, CEO. “San Ramon has long been our priority target due to the established historic workings identifying high-grade structures with the potential of low-grade mineralization in between. There are a lot of parallels to the local San Francisco Mine which was discovered from very similar surface characteristics and substantial artisanal workings. We look forward to evaluating these results as we start to unlock the potential of El Picacho. Tocvan Ventures - Maiden Drill Program at El Picacho - YouTubeT...
