[{"type":"text","content":"Calgary, Alberta - TheNewswire – December 9, 2021 - Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the “Company”) (CSE:TOC) (OTC:TCVNF) (WKN:TV3/A2PE64), is pleased to update on the trenching program at its Pilar Au-Ag Project in Sonora, Mexico. Trenching has started with four trenches completed to date at 4-Trench, North Hill and Main Zone targets. A trench at North Hill is complete and has been channel sampled to analyze an anomalous copper zone with oxide gold-silver mineralization. A trench at 4-Trench is complete and will be used for structural analysis and future drill targeting. Two Main Zone trenches are complete and material will be used for column leach studies and detailed structural analysis. Channel sample results from trenches are expected in January 2022 followed by submittal of bulk sample material for metallurgical test work. Drilling following up on Phase II drill program targets is scheduled to begin within the next week. Trench Plan Overview Up to Seven (7) trenches proposed for the operating season, totalling 140 meters Targets Include: Main Zone Oxide Mineralization North Hill Oxide and Copper Zone 4-Trench Trend, structural analysis “Trenching is well underway and we look forward to starting drilling in the next few days.”, commented VP Exploration, Brodie Sutherland. “Our trench program at Pilar will assist in guiding future drill programs as well as provide bulk sampling material across our oxide targets for more advanced metallurgical test work scheduled to be completed in the New Year” Trench Target Details Main Zone The primary target in the Main Zone is the centre of high-grade oxide gold-silver mineralization. One 20-meter trench is planned to cut through the Main Zone where surface channel sampling has yielded 10m @ 2.5 g/t Au and 27 g/t Ag. A second trench is planned 100m north west of the primary target to test oxide mineralization at surface where surface sampling returned a range between 0.3 g/t and 6.2 g/t Au. North Hill The target for the North Hill prospect is a broad 20-meter zone of oxide gold-silver mineralization associated with anomalous copper (malachite and azurite after chalcopyrite) hosted in quartz veins, stockwork and breccias. Channel surface sampling across this zone averaged 1.7 g/t Au, 56 g/t Ag and 0.4% Cu. Plate 1: Photos of oxide mineralization ...
