Tocvan Ventures Corp. doesn’t drill 300-meter holes by coincidence. At Gran Pilar, most holes fall in the 100-200 m range, long enough to tap the company’s consistently strong near-surface oxide zones.
So when Tocvan suddenly drills a 300-meter hole in the first-ever test of the immense North Block, and CEO Brodie Sutherland posting the following today on X.com, investors take notice:
"On the weekend we completed the first ever hole on the North Block at a total depth of 300m. We are very encouraged by what we are seeing. Second hole is underway. First samples will go to the lab this week. Very pleased with the progress and looking forward to results."
Tocvan CEO Brodie Sutherland on X.com on November 18, 2025
For a company that stays conservative in its wording, that line “ We are very encouraged by what we are seeing” is far more revealing than it looks. It suggests this 300-meter test wasn’t just deep – it was pointing to something significant, potentially in a big way.
And it fits perfectly with the atmosphere on site. A new video released today from the North Block says “Today, history is being made.”

More InformationOne of those moments when everything lines up
- A 3.2 × 1.5 km alteration system never drilled before.
- Historic workings, strong surface samples, geophysical alignment.
- A deep first hole that clearly impressed the geologists.
- A second hole already turning without hesitation.
Bottom Line
If the lab confirms what the team is seeing with their own eyes, this could mark the beginning of a major new discovery: One that finally unlocks the enormous North Block potential investors have been waiting for.
The drill is moving fast. The story is moving even faster. Stay tuned! These results could change the scale of Gran Pilar forever.
