Tocvan Ventures Corp has updated on Phase 3 drilling at its Pilar gold-silver project in Mexico, where early signs have been encouraging for a potential future mine development. The drilling is focused on Main Zone expansion targets and newly identified targets, said Tocvan, and one core drill hole has hit "a heavily oxidized and fractured mineralized breccia". This hole is a twin of a reverse circulation (RC) one sunk in 2020, which hit 9.2 meters (m) of 10.8 grams per ton (g/t) gold and 38 g/t silver. Lab assays for the hole are pending. Tocvan CEO Brodie Sutherland told investors that although the results of this latest hole were only "visual at this stage", the direct correlation with assays from the 2020 twin indicated that the Main Zone was hosted within a mineralized breccia. "This is significant as it suggests that mineralization is not isolated to narrow veins but in places hosted in a broad breccia body that is much more attractive as a development target," he said in a statement.

OTC Markets Group Inc, the operator of financial markets for over 11,000 US and global securities, announced that Boss Energy Ltd has qualified to trade on the OTCQX Best Market and has today upgraded from the OTCQB Venture Market. The OTCQX Market is designed for established, investor-focused US and international companies.

Graduating to the OTCQX Market marks an important milestone for companies, enabling them to demonstrate their qualifications and build visibility among US investors. Boss managing director Duncan Craib said: "Boss is pleased to upgrade to OTCQX so quickly. Since joining the OTCQB platform, Boss has achieved a number of significant milestones which ensure it is set to be Australia's next uranium producer. Our strategy is aimed at ensuring Boss can move from a Final Investment Decision into execution and production as rapidly as possible. This will enable us to capitalise on a rising uranium price at an opportunistic time."
