Tectonic Metals drills 41.15 m of 2.23 g/t Au at Flat

Executive Summary

• Tectonic Metals reported a high‑grade gold intercept of 2.23 g/t Au over 41.15 m (including 4.00 g/t Au over 21.34 m and a peak of 13.25 g/t Au over 4.57 m) from its first 2025 RC drill hole (CMR25‑035) at the Alpha Bowl target.
• The intercept confirms that the Alpha Bowl system remains open to the east and is larger than previously interpreted, supporting the potential for an open‑pit, free‑milling, heap‑leachable gold operation.
• Phase‑one drilling comprised 7,718 m in 48 holes; 24 holes targeted Alpha Bowl (≈4,600 m). Assays from 47 additional holes are pending, with phase‑two drilling already underway.

Key Details

• Hole CMR25‑035: RC drill to 124 m depth; intersected two gold zones:
• 2.23 g/t Au over 41.15 m (incl. 4.00 g/t Au over 21.34 m; 13.25 g/t Au over 4.57 m).
• 0.58 g/t Au over 45.72 m near the top of the hole.
• Geological context: Alpha Bowl is a blind, ~1.5 km × 1.0 km intrusion‑related gold system within the Flat district (99,000 acre land position) and lies east of the 2024 discovery hole CMR24‑026 (1.2 g/t Au over 65.5 m; 6.0 g/t Au over 6.1 m; 21.7 g/t Au over 1.5 m).
• Program scope:
• Total Phase‑One: 7,718 m in 48 holes across multiple RIRGS targets.
• Alpha Bowl focus: 24 holes (RC & diamond) totaling ~4,600 m; eight diamond holes up to 392 m depth.
• Pending results: Assays for 23 additional Alpha Bowl holes and 24 holes at Chicken Mountain, Golden Apex, Black Creek, and Jam targets are in progress. Results will be released continuously throughout 2025.
• Future work: Phase‑two drilling is currently underway; a dedicated release outlining phase‑two plans will follow in the coming weeks.
• Qualified Person: Peter Kleespies, MSc, PGeo, VP Exploration (NI 43‑101 qualified).

Notable Quotes

“Alpha Bowl is a blind target and yet in only a few drill holes we've been able to intersect high‑grade gold mineralization… These initial results tell us three things: we have not defined the eastern edge of this system; we are only beginning to tap into its true potential; high‑grade gold is present and possibly at scale.” – Tony Reda, Co‑Founder, President & CEO
