Tocvan Ventures Corp. announced trench channel sample results from its Pilar gold-silver project in Sonora, Mexico. A total of four trenches cut during the recently completed Bulk Sample were channel sampled along the new rock face exposures at two meter sample intervals.

The results at two of the Main Zone trenches yielded consistent values to the head-grade calculated during the Bulk Sample, with gold averaging 1.9 g/t Au over total channel lengths of 14-meters and 20-meters. As indicated by surface mapping and assay results, all trenches remain open for continued mineralization along their respective trends. Results will be compiled and used with drill data for the initial resource estimate for Pilar.

Work is currently underway to evaluate optimal drill locations to rapidly advance a resource estimate at Pilar. Pilar is currently permitted for 83 drill pads to assist in this evaluation. In the new acquisition area adjacent to Pilar, assessment work is being conducted to prioritize target areas for additional resource potential.

Active placer mining activity has opened up new gold source areas spanning multi-kilometer trends all now controlled by the Company. Limited evaluation work has been conducted in these areas and due to the proximity to Pilar will become a focus for future resource expansion. Within the recent property acquisition additional potential for resources exist where placer mining is active along new corridors of mineralization.
