CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / December 11, 2024 / Tocvan Ventures Corp. (the "Company") (CSE:TOC)(OTCQB:TCVNF)(WKN:TV3/A2PE64), is pleased to announce that it has closed a first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of Units ("Units") for gross proceeds of $2,105,320 (the "Offering"), which included $1,800,000 from a UK based institutional investor, Sorbie Bornholm LP ("Sorbie"), who has invested in several previous private placements with the Company since 2022. The Offering consisted of the issuance of an aggregate of 4,386,083 Units at a price of $0.48 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one common share ("Common Share") in the capital of the Company and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Common Share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.75 for a period of 36 months from the closing of the Offering.
"We are excited to close the first tranche and announce RC drilling on the expansion area has commenced." commented, CEO Brodie Sutherland. "This next phase of drilling will focus on the immediate expansion of mineralized trends to the north and northeast of the Main Zone, pushing the boundaries into undrilled areas. Recent surface results have indicated mineralization continues and we look forward to unlocking additional resource potential. Funds will be allocated to advance drilling efforts, permit new drill targets across the broad expansion area, and permit and prepare for the anticipated pilot mine in 2025."
