# Tocvan Announces New Surface Gold-Silver Results, Outlining New Target 3 Kilometers East of Main Zone at Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project *2026-05-13T02:05:00-04:00* Tocvan Announces New Surface Gold-Silver Results, Outlining New Target 3 Kilometers East of Main Zone at Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project **HERMOSILLO, MX / [ACCESS Newswire](https://www.accessnewswire.com/)/ May 13, 2026 / **Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company" or "Tocvan") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(WKN: TV3/ A2PE64) is pleased to announce new surface exploration results from the recently identified Bojorquez Target at its flagship Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. The Bojorquez Target is located approximately 3 kilometers east of the Main Zone. Rock chip sampling at Bojorquez has returned significant gold and silver values, highlighted by assays up to **1.5 g/t Au and 39 g/t Ag**. Multi-element results also show strongly anomalous base-metal and pathfinder values, including copper up to**0.37% Cu, lead up to 0.89% Pb, zinc up to 0.33% Zn, arsenic up to 4,730 ppm As, and antimony up to 422 ppm Sb**. Along the western edge of the target a silver-arsenic anomaly trend along a northwest magnetic high. Highlights from the initial 79 rock samples are summarized in table 1. These mineralized samples coincide with prominent magnetic anomalies identified in recent drone geophysical surveys, indicating potential for structurally controlled epithermal gold-silver mineralization analogous to the Main Zone. The anomalous zone defined by sampling to date measures approximately 1,200 meters by 700 meters, outlining a sizable new target area for immediate follow-up exploration. **"The discovery of the Bojorquez Target further demonstrates the district-scale potential of Gran Pilar," commented Brodie Sutherland, CEO of Tocvan. "Surface gold and silver values coincident with magnetic anomalies 3 km east of the Main Zone are extremely encouraging. This new target adds significant upside to our ongoing drill and development programs, and we are eager to advance it with detailed mapping, expanded geochemistry, and drilling."** The Company is currently prioritizing follow-up work within the South Block, including additional surface sampling, detailed structural mapping, and integration of geophysical data to refine drill targets. Results for over 300 surface samples are pending with active surface exploration ongoing in the South Block.
