Eloro’s Iska Iska: Ready for News in Bolivia
Just over a year ago when I first spoke to Tom Larsen about Eloro’s (ELO.V) Iska Iska project in Bolivia he told me, “We’re looking to find 100 million plus tons.”

Tocvan Provides Phase II Drill Program Update
Tocvan Ventures Corp. (CSE:TOC) (“Tocvan” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to provide an update for its flagship Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. The Phase II drill program (the “Program”) is nearing the half-way point with a total of 4,000 meters planned. To date, eleven (11) drill holes have been completed for a total of 1,811 meters (Figure 1). Samples for the first five holes have been submitted to ALS Labs in Hermosillo, the remaining samples will be submitted later this week. Early drilling focused on the extension of the Main Zone, testing deeper down-dip extensions of mineralization in addition to stepping out along strike. Drill targeting has now shifted towards testing new areas along the 4-Trench Extension and Triple Vein Zone areas.

Tocvan Reports 92% Recovery of Gold from Preliminary Metallurgical Results
Provides Update on Phase II Drill Program
Tocvan Ventures Corp. (CSE:TOC) (CNSX:TOC.CN) (“Tocvan” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce the results of ongoing metallurgical work at its flagship Pilar Gold-Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. Preliminary results have been received from two composite samples taken from the previously released drill hole JES-20-32. Drill hole JES-20-32 is thought to be representative of the central portion of the Main Zone, which during Phase I drilling in December of 2020 intersected 94.6-meters at 1.6 g/t Au including 9.2m at 10.8 g/t Au and 38 g/t Ag from 57.9 to 152.5 meters. The samples consisted of a low-grade (0.63 g/t Au) and a medium-grade (1.2 g/t Au) composite to determine the susceptibility of dissolution of gold through cyanide bottle testing. The results show after a retention time of 48 hours, maximum dissolution can be reached of 91% for the low-grade composite and 92% for the medium-grade composite. A summary of the results are provided in Table 1. Samples were submitted to SGS Laboratories in Durango, Mexico for analysis.
