# Tocvan Announces Multiple Silver Zones In Debut Drill Results From The Gran Pilar Project North Block *2026-01-23T02:05:00-05:00* Tocvan Announces Multiple Silver Zones In Debut Drill Results From The Gran Pilar Project North Block **HERMOSILLO, MEXICO / [ACCESS Newswire](https://www.accessnewswire.com/)/ January 23, 2026 / **Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company" or "Tocvan") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(WKN:TV3/ A2PE64) is pleased to announce the first analytical results from its maiden drill program on the North Block of the Gran Pilar Project Sonora, Mexico. The initial five drillholes reported demonstrate a strong emerging silver‑rich polymetallic system, with high‑grade Ag zones hosted within veins tied to silicified andesitic dikes and silicified andesite, accompanied by elevated lead, zinc, antimony, and arsenic, key pathfinder elements typical of productive epithermal systems. Results include multiple wide Ag‑bearing intervals, strong quartz-vein and alteration intensity, and clear structural‑lithological controls that together establish a compelling framework for expansion drilling. **Highlights** - The maiden program identified **25 Ag‑rich composite intervals**. The strongest interval, **4.58 m at 35.7 g/t Ag, including 1.5 meters of 91.6 g/t Ag (JES-25-124), **200 meters vertically below artisanal underground workings that have returned up to 3.2 g/t Au and 1,225 g/t Ag. This interval also carries supportive Cu, Pb, Zn, Sb, and As values. The accompanying **geologic indicators**reinforce the grade significance. - **Three of five drillholes intersected greater than 1 oz/t Ag, across two targets 1.8 km apart. **Multiple additional intervals delivering 3-5 m composites grading **15-20+ g/t Ag**, with coincident Au, Zn, Pb, and Sb enrichments. Includes **1.5 meters of 54.3 g/t Ag**(JES-25-125) and **1.5 meters of 37.2 g/t Ag, 1.2% Pb and 0.4% Zn**(JES-25-127). - **Second drill rig secured**with CANMEX Drilling for February to accelerate follow-up drilling on priority targets. **Video Summary: **[**TOCVAN ANNOUNCES MULTIPLE SILVER ZONES IN DEBUT DRILL RESULTS AT THE GRAN PILAR PROJECT NORTH BLOCK**](https://pr.report/i00h) **Why This Matters** - Demonstrates a **new mineralized system separate from the South Block/Main Zone.** - Silver mineralization correlates with strong sericite-chlorite-carbonate alteration and silicified dikes acting as fluid pathways. - Geochemistry (Ag-Zn-Pb-Sb-As) and alteration place the discovery in the core of a low‑sulfidation epithermal system, supporting significant depth and strike potential (see Figure 3.). **Next Steps for North Block** - **Step‑out drilling**around the JES‑25‑124 dike corridor to test continuity along strike and down‑dip. - **Systematic follow‑up**on JES‑25‑126's shallow polymetallic intervals. - **Expanded alteration mapping**to refine vectors using AI-CCPI zonation. - **Correlation to recently completed drone magnetic survey.** - **3D geologic modeling**integrating structure, lithology, and multi‑element geochemistry. **"These first holes at the North Block immediately confirm a new silver discovery over five kilometers from our Main Zone. The combination of high-grade silver, strong polymetallic support, and textbook hydrothermal alteration signals we are into a significant mineralized system. Particularly exciting is the discovery of a high-grade silver zone hosted within a silicified dike, structures like this are known to focus mineralizing fluids in productive epithermal environments. With multiple stacked intervals across several holes, we are rapidly building confidence that Gran Pilar has the grades, continuity, and scale potential to make this an exciting new growth area for Tocvan. With a second drill rig arriving in February, we are positioned to rapidly build on these results" - Brodie Sutherland, CEO** [](https://app.accessnewswire.com/imagelibrary/edb3c06d-2df4-4dfc-a22e-9589f949d76d/20260123figure1.jpg) _Figure 1: 3D View of the Gran Pilar Project and the debut drilling of the North Block._ [](https://app.accessnewswire.com/imagelibrary/7ad310b4-e365-42cf-a8da-37c6d081b39b/20260123figure2.jpg) _Figure 2: Long Sectional View across the entire Gran Pilar Project looking east._ _Table 1: Summary of Drill Results in today's release._ [](https://app.accessnewswire.com/imagelibrary/29d9f22a-2125-43b0-89bb-8268ea2dbf92/20260123table1.jpg) _Table 2: Drill hole information._ [](https://app.accessnewswire.com/imagelibrary/0c9c6617-921a-4f26-bbe4-3ebd915bb85f/20260123table2.jpg) **Technical Discussion** **S
