Calgary-based Tocvan Ventures has announced provide an update on operations at its Pilar gold-silver project in Sonora, Mexico.
A phase III drill programme is currently underway at the project, fol-lowing up on the main zone expansion targets, as well as new target areas identified last year, the company said in a statement.
“A second drill rig has been mobilized to increase productivity, a dia-mond drill rig will accompany RC drilling and assist in understanding the key geological and structural controls of mineralization,” the Ca-nadian miner said.
“Although the results of JES-22-59 are visual at this stage, the direct correlation with assays results in the twin RC hole JES-20-32, indi-cate our Main Zone is hosted within a mineralized breccia”, said Bro-die Sutherland, the CEO of Tocvan Ventures. “This is significant as it suggests that mineralization is not isolated to narrow veins but in places hosted in a broad breccia body that is much more attractive as a development target.”
