Tocvan Ventures to hold webinar Sept. 10

Mr. Brodie Sutherland reports TOCVAN ANNOUNCES SIGNIFICANT FUNDING AND STRATEGIC WEBINAR TO DETAIL GRAN PILAR GOLD - SILVER PROJECT NEXT STEPS TO PRODUCTION Tocvan Ventures Corp. has scheduled a corporate webinar highlighting its strategic road map from exploration to production. The company has also secured significant new financing through the exercise of over 2.2 million warrants through the past five weeks, with more exercises anticipated over the coming weeks by long supportive shareholders. This capital infusion will immediately accelerate key operational programs at the Gran Pilar gold-silver project. The company will host a live webinar titled "Tocvan's Next Chapter: From Exploration to Development" on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2025, at 10 a.m. MDT (12 p.m. EDT). Learn exactly how Tocvan plans to continue high-impact exploration while advancing toward production in this interactive session with Tocvan's chief executive officer, Brodie Sutherland. The company will provide an in-depth update on the flagship Gran Pilar gold-silver project, including progress toward pilot plant operations, recent drilling results and strategic plans for resource expansion. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a question-and-answer session to gain insights into Tocvan's path to near-term production and value creation. Registration is now open through the company's website or by e-mailing [email protected]. "We are thrilled with the strong support from our shareholders through these warrant exercises, which provide the necessary capital to hit the ground running on our pilot and drilling programs," said Mr. Sutherland, chief executive officer of Tocvan Ventures. "This momentum positions us perfectly for a transformative period, and we look forward to sharing more details during our upcoming webinar."

Quality assurance/quality control Rock and drill samples were shipped for sample preparation to ALS Ltd. in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, and for analysis at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver. The ALS Hermosillo and North Vancouver facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Gold was analyzed using 50-gram nominal weight fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. Overlimits for gold (greater than 10 g/t) were analyzed using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Silver and other elements were analyzed using a four-acid digestion with an ICP finish. Overlimit analyses for silver (greater than 100 g/t) were reassayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with ICP-AES finish. Control samples comprising certified reference samples and blank samples were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the company's robust quality assurance/quality control protocol. Soil samples were shipped for sample preparation to ALS in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, and for analysis at the ALS laboratory in North Vancouver. The ALS Hermosillo and North Vancouver facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 certified. Gold and multielement analysis of soils was completed by aqua regia digestion and ICP-MS finish using a 50-gram nominal weight. Overlimit gold values greater than one g/t were reassayed with a more robust aqua regia digestion and ICP-MS finish. Overlimit analyses for silver (greater than 100 g/t) were reassayed using an ore-grade four-acid digestion with ICP-AES finish. Control samples comprising blank samples and certified reference materials were systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the company's robust quality assurance/quality control protocol.
