Tocvan Ventures – Q & A El Picacho Project
Listen in to hear Tocvan Ventures CEO, Brodie Sutherland, discuss the potential that lies at our El Picacho property in Sonora, Mexico.
The El Picacho Gold-Silver property is interpreted as a orogenic gold system within the regional Caborca Orogenic Gold Belt known for producing gold mines that include La Herradura and San Francisco. The project is 140 kilometers north of Hermosillo and totals 2,414 hectares. Five primary zones of mineralization have been identified across the property totalling over six kilometers of prospective trends. Surface sampling has identified high-grade gold and silver values.
“As we look to continue the advancement of our Pilar Project we are equally excited to begin exploration at El Picacho.” commented VP Exploration, Brodie Sutherland. “El Picacho is an important acquisition for Tocvan as we look to expand our portfolio of quality gold-silver assets in Sonora. The Caborca Orogenic Belt is host to major gold and silver producing mines and we believe the geology and structural features at El Picacho are favourable to the orogenic gold model. To date, five primary target areas have been defined showing excellent potential from surface rock and channel sampling. Each target area has several historic mine workings along key structures further confirming the potential for a broad mineralized system. The majority of these targets have never been drill tested, and we look forward to advancing these targets to drill ready status over the next year. ”
