Tocvan Ventures Unveils Gran Pilar Development Plan

Tocvan Ventures Corp. has announced its phased development plan for the pilot mine operations at the Gran Pilar Gold-Silver Project. The company's transition from exploration to pilot-scale production is bolstered by securing essential permits and initiating key construction activities aimed at the first gold-silver doré pour in Q4 2026.

The project is structured into six phases, including trenching, leach pad construction, and processing. This low-capex venture positions Tocvan for rapid advancement in the strong gold market. CEO Brodie Sutherland emphasizes the pilot operation's role as a critical element for commercial production, with long-term agreements ensuring stability and expansion.

The state-of-the-art facility aims to recover 70% of gold via heap leaching, with heavy machinery mobilized on-site and infrastructure under development. Tocvan's stakeholder communication highlights the strategic impact of generated data on developing their commercial strategy.
