Tocvan Announces Restart Of Exploration Drilling At The Gran Pilar Project South Block

HERMOSILLO, MEXICO / ACCESS Newswire / February 11, 2026 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company" or "Tocvan") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(WKN:TV3/ A2PE64) is pleased to announce the restart of exploration drilling activities in the South Block of its flagship Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project. This phase focuses on all-new high-priority targets identified through recent drone magnetic surveys, comprehensive surface geochemical sampling and geological mapping, building on the Company's ongoing efforts to expand resource potential in this highly prospective area. The restart follows the successful completion of three condemnation holes at the Pilot Mine site, confirming the area is suitable for future development activities. Preparation work continues at the Pilot Mine site. Two new exploration holes are already complete at the South Block.

The South Block, encompassing approximately 8 km² of 100% Company-controlled ground, represents a direct extension of the historic Main Zone. Recent advancements, including the construction of an access road and preparation of multiple drill pads, have facilitated this restart. The targets have been delineated by a significant structural complex revealed in the drone magnetic survey, which correlates strongly with anomalous gold and silver values from surface rock and soil samples-reaching up to 21.2 g/t Au and over 2,000 g/t Ag in prior programs (News Release, November 12, 2024).

With the condemnation drilling now complete, the drill rig has shifted its focus entirely to exploration targets, accelerating the Company's resource expansion initiatives.

"This restart marks an exciting step forward in unlocking the untapped potential of the South Block," said Brodie Sutherland, CEO of Tocvan. "The integration of magnetic data with our surface geochemistry has pinpointed compelling new targets that align with our strategy for resource expansion. Completing the condemnation holes at the Pilot Mine clears the path for development while allowing us to prioritize high-impact exploration drilling. We are eager to test these areas, which could significantly enhance the project's overall value and support our path toward pilot production."
