Tocvan Announces Maiden Drill Program Underway at North Block Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project

Highlights:

• Maiden Drill Program Underway: targeting a 3.2 km by 1.5 km zone with strong mineralization indicators.

• Progress Update: Site preparations complete, including road access and drill pads; initial 2,000 meters of drilling in progress, additional 3,000 meters proposed

Promising Surface Results: High-grade samples from the North Alteration Zone, including 5.6 g/t Au and 106 g/t Ag over 2 meters, and historic workings yielding 3.2 g/t Au and 1,225 g/t Ag.

New Discoveries: Three additional mineralized targets identified with historic underground workings, featuring vein breccia, alteration, and quartz veining.

Strategic Positioning: Fully permitted for over 30,000 meters of drilling; program integrates geophysical, mapping, and geochemical data to expand resource potential and support near-term production goals.

CALGARY, AB / ACCESS Newswire / November 11, 2025 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company" or "Tocvan") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(WKN:TV3/A2PE64) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing maiden drill program at the North Block of the Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. The program, which commenced following the mobilization of equipment in October, marks the first-ever drilling in this underexplored expansion area and is designed to test a 3.2 km by 1.5 km target zone exhibiting strong geochemical and geological indicators of mineralization.

To date, the Company has completed initial site preparations, including road access improvements and the establishment of the first drill pads. Drilling activities are progressing with an initial phase of 2,000 meters planned, focusing on high-priority targets within the North Alteration Zone. These zone have already yielded promising surface samples, including a 2-meter chip sample assaying 5.6 g/t Au and 106 g/t Ag, and a historic mine working sample returning 3.2 g/t Au and 1,225 g/t Ag.

Recent discoveries of two new mineralized targets with historic underground workings further underscore the potential of the area, featuring exposed vein breccia, phyllic and argillic alteration, and quartz veining across sections up to 60 meters.

"We are thrilled with the early progress of our maiden drill program at the North Block, which represents a significant step in unlocking the full potential of the Greater Pilar system," stated Brodie A. Sutherland, CEO of Tocvan Ventures. "The integration of geophysical surveys, surface mapping, and these new target discoveries has refined our approach, and we anticipate meaningful results that could expand our resource potential. Combined with advancements on the South Block, including trenching and pilot mine preparations, Gran Pilar is positioning Tocvan for near-term production and long-term growth."
