Executive Summary

  • Tectonic Metals announced its first-ever drilling at the Black Creek Intrusion, intersecting high‑grade gold (4.50 g/t Au over 48.77 m; 7.79 g/t Au over 24.38 m; 15.19 g/t Au over 6.10 m from surface).
  • The results expand the known footprint of the Flat Gold Project to five intrusion‑related targets (Chicken Mountain, Alpha Bowl, Golden Apex, Black Creek, Jam) and extend the mineralized strike at Alpha Bowl to 3.3 km.
  • Additional drilling at Alpha Bowl, Jam, and Golden Apex also returned multiple near‑surface gold intercepts, supporting a district‑scale reduced intrusion‑related gold system (RIRGS).

Key Details

  • Black Creek Hole CMR25‑059: 4.50 g/t Au over 48.77 m; includes 7.79 g/t Au over 24.38 m and 15.19 g/t Au over 6.10 m from surface (downhole lengths).
  • Other Black Creek RC holes:
  • CMR25‑057 – 1.81 g/t Au over 6.10 m; 0.68 g/t Au over 24.36 m.
  • CMR25‑058 – 0.50 g/t Au over 24.38 m; 0.65 g/t Au over 16.76 m.
  • Alpha Bowl (extension of Chicken Mountain):
  • Hole CMR25‑123 – 10.60 g/t Au over 1.52 m; 5.57 g/t Au over 1.52 m; 12.26 g/t Au over 1.00 m (diamond).
  • Jam Intrusion (first drilling): Multiple >1 g/t Au intercepts, e.g., CMR25‑061 – 3.56 g/t Au over 1.52 m and several 1–2 g/t Au intervals.
  • Golden Apex: RC holes show sub‑1 g/t Au intervals; historic drill hole GA03‑02 previously intersected ~1 g/t Au over >20 m.
  • Total program: 20 drill holes (3 diamond, 17 RC) covering 18,372 m across the Flat Gold Project in 2025‑26.
  • Geological significance: First high‑grade gold discovered in hornfelsed siltstones – a new host rock type for the system; confirms that mineralization is not confined to monzonite intrusions.
  • Future work: Pending assay results from 14 additional holes and remaining 2025 resource delineation drilling at Chicken Mountain; further mapping and deeper drilling planned to target blind intrusion zones.

Notable Quotes

“The Flat Gold Project continues to demonstrate the characteristics of a large, reduced intrusion‑related gold system with multiple mineralized intrusive centers,” – Tony Reda, President & CEO.

“Our discovery of high‑grade gold at Black Creek provides clear proof that this lithological setting is highly prospective.” – Tony Reda.
