Tocvan Ventures revamps executive team as Gran Pilar pilot mine targets Q4 2026 start

Tocvan Ventures executive reshuffle Gran Pilar pilot mine Sonora Mexico

Tocvan Ventures Corp. announced a strategic reshuffle of its senior leadership to better align the company with the transition of its flagship Gran Pilar gold‑silver project from exploration to production. Effective immediately, Brodie Sutherland moves from President and CEO to Executive Chair, Christopher Gordon becomes Chief Executive Officer, and Board Director Rodrigo Calles‑Montijo is appointed President. The changes are complemented by the addition of Anna Ladd‑Kruger to the board and Darin Wagner as a special advisor.

At Gran Pilar in Sonora, Mexico, more than 9,800 metres have been drilled in 2026, with assay results still pending for over 6,400 metres. A fully permitted pilot mine facility is under construction and is slated to begin operations in the fourth quarter of 2026. The leadership overhaul is intended to provide focused oversight of project development, operational execution, and capital‑market strategy as the pilot plant moves toward commercial production.
