(TheNewswire)

Tocvan Ventures Corp.

TOCVAN Ventures Corp. (the "Company") (C NSX :TOC. CN) ( OTC:TCVNF ) ( FSEWKN:TV3A2PE64), is pleased to announce the exploration plans for its El Picacho Au-Ag Project in Sonora, Mexico. El Picacho was a recent acquisition with the company negotiating the assignment of the option agreement from Millrock Resources. Five primary target areas (San Ramon, Cornea, Jabali, Puerto and Tortuga) have been identified to date combining for over 6 kilometers of prospective trend . The project is fully permitted for 1,995 meters of trenching 60 drill holes (up to 15,000m) and 2.2 kilometers of access roads. The permit is a critical piece to the advancement of El Picacho and will allow Tocvan to scale-up exploration as needed. The company remains focused on its advanced stage Pilar Gold-Silver Project, however the high perspectivity of El Picacho warrants further investigation

2021/2022 Exploration Plans

  • - Target Evaluation

    - Surface Sampling and Detailed Target Mapping

    - Trenching and Channel Sampling of Priority Targets:

    • - San Ramon (Permitted up to 800m)

      - Cornea (Permitted up to 800m)

      - Jabali (Permitted up to 400m)

    - Drill Targeting (Permitted for up to 15,000m in 60 drillholes across the 5 primary target areas)

"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.

Stagflation Looms: Why Economists Are Warning of a Rare and Painful Economic Storm

The American economy may be heading toward stagflation, an environment characterized by high inflation, slowing growth and rising unemployment, US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cautioned earlier this month.

"Unemployment is likely to go up as the economy slows, in all likelihood, and inflation is likely to go up as tariffs find their way — and some part of those tariffs comes to be paid by the public," he said during an April 15 appearance in Chicago.

While Powell was careful not to use the word "stagflation," experts have pointed out that the circumstances he outlined correspond with its definition, thrusting the term back into public discourse.

But what exactly is stagflation, and why is it such a concern for investors? Read on to find out.
