艾伯塔省卡尔加里/ACCESSWIRE/2024年4月18日/Tocvan Ventures Corp.(“公司”)(CSE: TOC)(OTCQB: TCVNF)(FSE: TV3)欣然宣布其位于墨西哥索诺拉州采矿友好型的大皮拉尔金银项目的地表岩石样本结果。在正在进行的大规模砂矿开采活动上方进行地质测绘和地表岩石采样的第一阶段计划已开始概述最近收购的地区的一系列广泛的矿化趋势。采样亮点包括含有 177 g/t Ag 的 7.3 g/t Au;含有 80 g/t Ag 的 5.5 g/t Au;以及 389 g/t Ag 的 1.8 g/t Au。
Figure 1. Summary map of recent surface sampling, expanding the known footprint of mineralization of the Greater Pilar System. The sampling has identified the source rocks for the active placer mining operations. Sampling and mapping have also outlined a significant area of veining and epithermal style alteration with elevated Au, Ag, As, Sb, Pb and Zn. The area has seen no previous systematic exploration and remains open to the east and the north. Direct extension of the Pilar Main Zone is also apparent through past sampling.

"This is an incredible discovery expanding out a significant mineralized footprint in an area with no previous exploration." commented Brodie Sutherland, CEO. "Placer activity has provided the most concrete evidence for new mineralized systems, and this is the first step in beginning to fully understand the potential size for a much larger system at Pilar. The experience we have from operating at Pilar has allowed us to move quickly to evaluate these areas. For the first pass sampling to return these results is a testament to the team and the gold-silver endowment seen across the project. This vastly expands our resource potential across the Greater Pilar property that we have 100% interest in. As we continue to delineate the new target areas, we will begin to prepare a plan to drill test the targets across the southern and northern blocks of the expansion property. Meanwhile back at the Main Zone, the drill has completed eight holes to date with samples for three of the holes already submitted to the lab. We expect the first results in early May."
首席执行官布罗迪·萨瑟兰评论说:“这是一个令人难以置信的发现,在一个以前没有勘探过的地区扩展了重要的矿化足迹。”“砂矿活动为新的矿化系统提供了最具体的证据,这是开始充分了解皮拉尔更大系统的潜在规模的第一步。我们在皮拉尔运营所积累的经验使我们能够迅速采取行动评估这些领域。对于第一次抽样得出这些结果来说,这证明了整个项目团队和金银储备。这极大地扩展了我们在大皮拉尔地产中的资源潜力,我们对该地产拥有100%的权益。随着我们继续划定新的目标区域,我们将开始制定计划,对扩建物业的南部和北部区块的目标进行钻探测试。同时,回到主区,钻机迄今为止已经完成了八个孔,其中三个孔的样本已经提交给实验室。我们预计五月初会有第一批结果。”
Discussion of Results
对结果的讨论
Placer Source Discovery
Placer 来源发现
Over the past three years placer mining by local workers have ramped up activities in the Pilar area, most notably just north of Pilar where workings now extend 3.5 kilometers up a dry creek bed. Placer miners have focused on loose unconsolidated material that can easily be extracted and screened with an excavator. Most operations consist of one excavator operator and three 20 tonne haulage trucks used to transport material to a nearby sluice box for quick gravity recovery of the gold. The placer activity has provided an obvious vectoring tool towards areas potentially shedding gold from larger source rocks. Through geological mapping and sampling above these placer activities, the Company has quickly been able to pinpoint the primary source for the placer gold. An area 800 meters by 700 meters has been identified as the source zone with the highest-grade samples collected so far adjacent to new road development and placer activities. Mineralization is described as hosted in quartz veins, silicified hydrothermal breccias and faults associated with altered andesite host rocks similar to those mapped at the Main Zone. Sample highlights include 5.5 g/t Au with 80 g/t Ag on trend with artisanal mine workings and shafts. The Company looks to further evaluate mineralization along these trends with the areas to the north and east remaining open to further gold-silver potential.
在过去的三年中,当地工人开采砂矿增加了皮拉尔地区的活动,最值得注意的是位于皮拉尔以北,那里的开采工作现在向干燥的河床延伸了3.5公里。砂矿开采者主要关注松散的未固结物质,这些材料可以很容易地用挖掘机开采和筛选。大多数业务包括一名挖掘机操作员和三辆重达 20 吨的运输卡车,用于将物料运送到附近的水闸箱,以便快速重力回收黄金。砂矿活动为探测可能从较大的源岩中脱落金的区域提供了明显的矢量工具。通过在这些砂矿活动上方进行地质测绘和采样,该公司很快得以查明砂金的主要来源。800米乘700米的区域已被确定为迄今为止在新的道路开发和铺设活动附近采集到的最高等级样本的来源区域。矿化被描述为存在于石英脉、硅化热液角砾岩以及与安山岩宿主岩变化相关的断层中,类似于主区测绘的岩石。样品亮点包括 5.5 g/t Au 和 80 g/t Ag 的趋势,采用手工矿山开采和竖井。该公司希望沿着这些趋势进一步评估矿化情况,北部和东部的地区仍对进一步的金银潜力开放。
Expansion of Mineralized Footprint East of Main Zone
扩大主区以东的矿化足迹
Further south of the newly outlined Placer Source Area mineralization continues with significant gold and silver values ranging up to 7.3 g/t Au and 389 g/t Ag. The total area evaluated in the first pass of mapping and sampling covered 800 meters by 800 meters and remains open to the east for another 1,600 meters. Mineralization is primarily associated with quartz veining and related alteration (sericite, silica and iron oxides).
在新概述的 Placer Source Area 的更南边,矿化仍在继续,金和白银价值高达 7.3 g/t Au 和 389 g/t Ag。在第一轮测绘和采样中评估的总面积覆盖了800米乘800米,并且向东开放了1,600米。矿化主要与石英脉络和相关的蚀变(绢云母、二氧化硅和氧化铁)有关。
Extension of Main Zone
主区域的扩展
Past surface sampling of the northern extension of the Main Zone onto the newly acquired expansion area have shown gold values above 10 g/t Au (historically no overlimit was tested) and silver values up to 645 g/t Ag (Sample 617771, collected by Tocvan in 2021). These samples indicate multiple mineralized trends extend onto the expansion area for at least another 200 to 300 meters before plunging below overburden. These trends have full road access and will be evaluated in exploration drilling planned for later in 2024.
过去对主区北部延伸至新收购的扩张区的地表采样显示,金值高于10克/吨金(历史上未测试过超限),银值高达645克/吨银(样本617771,由Tocvan于2021年收集)。这些样本表明,在跌破覆盖层之前,多种矿化趋势向膨胀区域延伸至少再延伸200至300米。这些趋势具有全面的道路通行能力,并将在计划于2024年晚些时候进行的勘探钻探中进行评估。
Figure 2. Pilar Project Planview map showing the southern block made up of the Pilar Main Zone and the newly discovered placer source with additional gold-silver mineralization extending to the south. Within the northern block, a large alteration zone that spans 3.3 km by 1.5 km (North Alteration Zone) has returned high-grade gold and silver values in the first few sampling programs across the newly acquired area. The initial phase of drilling for 2024 will focus on the Pilar Main Zone in which Tocvan has 51% majority interest.

About the Pilar Property
关于皮拉尔房产
The Pilar Gold-Silver property has returned some of the regions best drill results. Coupled with encouraging gold and silver recovery results from metallurgical test work, Pilar is primed to be a potential near-term producer. Pilar is interpreted as a structurally controlled low-sulphidation epithermal system hosted in andesite rocks. Initially three primary zones of mineralization were identified on the original property from historic surface work and drilling and are referred to as the Main Zone, North Hill and 4-T. Each trend remains open to the southeast and north and new parallel zones have been discovered. Structural features and zones of mineralization within the structures follow an overall NW-SE trend of mineralization. Mineralization extends along a 1.2-km trend, only half of that trend has been drill tested so far. The Company has now expanded its interest in the area by consolidating 22 square-kilometers of highly prospective ground where it has already made significant surface discoveries.
Pilar Gold-Silver地产已返回该地区一些最佳的钻探结果。再加上令人鼓舞的冶金测试工作得出的黄金和白银回收结果,皮拉尔有望成为潜在的短期生产商。皮拉尔被解释为位于安山岩岩石中的结构受控的低硫化超热系统。最初,通过历史地表工作和钻探在原始地质上确定了三个主要矿化区域,被称为主区、北山区和4-T。每种趋势都向东南和北部开放,并发现了新的平行区域。结构特征和结构内的矿化区域遵循西北东南部的整体矿化趋势。矿化沿着1.2千米的趋势延伸,到目前为止,只有一半的趋势经过了钻探测试。该公司现已通过整合22平方公里的极具前景的地面扩大了对该地区的兴趣,该公司已经在那里进行了重大地表发现。
