About Tectonic Metals Ltd.
Tectonic Metals Inc. is a gold exploration company founded by the same key executives who transformed Kaminak
Gold from a $3 million venture into a $520 million success story. These leaders raised $165 million to fund the
acquisition, discovery, and advancement of the Coffee Gold Project in the Yukon Territory, including the completion
of a bankable feasibility study, before selling the multi -million-ounce gold project to Goldcorp Inc. (now Newmont)
for C$520 million in 2016.
Success with the Coffee Gold Project is only one example, as each member of the Tectonic team has a significant
track record of success in all facets of exploration and mining, including over 30 Moz of gold discoveries, 18 feasibility
studies, 20 projects permitted, over $3 billion in M&A transactions and over $2 billion in capital raising. The Coffee
Team is now back with Tectonic Metals, and we believe we’ve found the next Coffee Gold Project, but BIGGER this
time with the Flat Gold Project (“Flat”).
Flat is located in Alaska, just 40 km from Novagold’s Donlin Gold Project—the 5th largest undeveloped gold deposit.
Spanning 99,800 acres of predominantly Native -owned land belonging to Doyon Limited (Tectonic’s second -largest
shareholder and one of Alaska’s largest Native Regional Corporations), Flat hosts a bulk-tonnage, Reduced Intrusion-
Related Gold System (RIRGS) comparable to the Fort Knox gold mine.
Recognized as a prime example of the direct relationship between placer gold and bedrock sources, placer gold shed
from Flat’s intrusions has contributed to placer gold production. Notably, exploration at Flat has resulted in gold
being intersected in all 86 drill holes, covering 3 km of drilled mineralized strike and reaching a vertical depth of 325
m at its primary intrusion target, Chicken Mountain - open in all directions.
