Tectonic Metals Drills 272 Metres of 0.50 g/t Au and 277 Metres of 0.49 g/t Au; Confirms Bulk-Tonnage Potential at Heap-Leachable Chicken Mountain, Flat Gold Project, Alaska

Unconstrained Growth Potential: 3.3 km Drilled Mineralized Strike x 700 m Width x 300 m Vertical Depth and Remaining Open in All Directions 100% Drill Success Continues: 191 of 191 Drill Holes Intersecting Gold Mineralization VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2026 / Tectonic Metals Inc. ("Tectonic" or the "Company") (TSXV:TECT)(OTCQB:TETOF) today announced final assay results from the 2025 drill program at Chicken Mountain. Today's results delivered thick, at or near-surface intercepts that reinforce Chicken Mountain as a bulk-tonnage, heap leachable Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System ("RIRGS") within the Company's flagship 99,800-acre Flat Gold Project ("Flat") in Southwest Alaska. The 2025 drilling program has successfully advanced Chicken Mountain from an exploration target into a kilometre-scale resource growth opportunity, expanding the continuously mineralized footprint and delineating higher-grade corridors that may support potential starter-pit development scenarios. Tectonic plans to resume drilling in early May 2026, and additional metallurgical test work is now underway, including 2-inch crush heap-leach column tests to investigate the viability of run-of-mine ("ROM") gold processing. A more detailed news release outlining the Company's 2026 plans and objectives is expected to be announced in the coming months. CEO Commentary "Chicken Mountain demonstrates a combination of scale, continuity and favorable metallurgy in a bulk-tonnage gold system. Unlike narrow vein deposits that rely on selective mining, this style of mineralization has the potential to support simpler, straightforward open-pit development, with broad, continuous zones that begin at surface and remain open in all directions." What differentiates Chicken Mountain is the convergence of three key value drivers. First, scale: we've defined approximately 3.3 kilometres of mineralized strike to date, with widths approaching 700 metres, while drill testing only a fraction of the mapped intrusive complex. Second, predictability: a 100% drill success rate across 191 holes demonstrates a fertile and strong mineralizing system that can be targeted effectively. Third, metallurgy: previously reported heap-leach recoveries of up to 96%, together with ongoing work evaluating run-of-mine potential, point to a processing profile with meaningful capital and operating advantages." "Within this large mineralized, envelope, we've identified multiple higher-grade corridors that could represent potential mining starter-pit opportunities. Beyond the intrusion itself, the hornfelsed sedimentary rocks surrounding Chicken Mountain represent an additional, untested and underexplored opportunity. At Black Creek, located 6 km away, drilling intersected 4.50 g/t Au over 48.77 m with 7.79 g/t Au over 24.38 m hosted in hornfels - the same prospective host rock that surrounds Chicken Mountain." "As we move forward, our focus is clear: continued step-out drilling to define the ultimate scale of the Chicken mountain RIRGS system, advancing metallurgical work toward a potential run-of-mine flowsheet, and progressing toward a maiden mineral resource estimate. Each of these workstreams is aimed at systematically de-risking Chicken Mountain while preserving its significant growth potential." Assay results from 16 drill holes are reported herein - 9 diamond core holes and 7 reverse circulation ("RC") holes - representing approximately 3,535 metres ("m") of drilling from the Company's 18,373 m 2025 program. Drilling targeted step-out expansion and early-stage resource delineation in the central area of the Chicken Mountain intrusion. All assay results from the Companies 2025 drill program are now reported.

Scale & Continuity: Chicken Mountain is interpreted as a Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System hosted within a receptive monzonitic intrusive complex. Drilling has defined a mineralized envelope measuring 3.3 km in strike, up to 700 m in width, and extending to 300 m vertical depth, see figure 1 and 2. Multiple drill holes intersect ~275 m of continuous gold mineralization starting at surface and indicating a coherent body of mineralized rock, see figures 5 and 6. While drilling to date has defined a significant envelope of mineralization, the broader Chicken Mountain system extends well beyond current drilling: Gold-in-soil anomaly: ~4.0 km in length Mapped intrusive (monzonitic) complex: ~4.5 km × 3.0 km Geophysical intrusive footprint: ~6.5 km × 6.0 km Untested Hornfels Target: The Chicken Mountain intrusion is surrounded by hundreds of metres of hornfels, a baked sedimentary rock that commonly hosts gold in intrusion-related systems. This prospective host rock remains entirely untested at Chicken Mountain but has been validated at Tectonic's Black Creek intrusion target, located 6 km from Chicken Mountain, where recent drilling intersected 4.50 g/t Au over 48.77 m, including 7.79 g/t Au over 24.38 m (see January 29, 2025, news release) confirming the fertility of hornfels units at Flat. 2. Unconstrained Growth Potential: Mineralization remains open in all directions and is constrained only by drilling, not geology. 3. 100% Drill Success Rate Continues: 191 of 191 Chicken Mountain holes intersected gold mineralization. 4. 61% of all drill holes (117 of 191 holes) ended in mineralization, including today's reported drill holes CMD25-021, which ended in 5.00 m of 2.45 g/t Au, and CMR25-120 which ended in 4.57 m at 1.94 g/t Au implying the ultimate depth and strike of the system have not yet been bracketed. 5. Reduced Exploration Risk: With 100% of the drill holes intersecting mineralization, the exploration risk regarding continuity is reduced. The system appears to be targetable, robust, and pervasive. 6. Higher-Grade Internal Architecture: The identification of higher-grade corridors, 6 in total now across the 3.3 kms of drilled strike, within the broader lower-grade envelope warrants drill follow up, see figure 4. These zones have the potential to represent, mining starter-pit opportunities for early capex payback. 7. Two Strategic Fences Drilled and Reported Today: Results reported from two drill fences L1 (4 core holes) and L2 (6 RC and 4 core holes) drilled across the Chicken Mountain intrusion. Width of mineralization envelope along both drilled sections is 700 m. Core drilling on both sections confirms mineralization to 300 m vertical depth and remains open. Multiple holes ended in mineralization (see Tables 1 and 2), supporting potential for down-dip and along-strike expansion. Results Summary A summary of the results released today for the 7 RC holes are presented by drill section in Table 1, and a summary of the 9 core results are presented in Table 2. Data pertaining to locations of drill holes included in the announcement are presented in Table 3.

All core and RC samples were submitted to MSA's Fairbanks, Alaska facility. Certain sample shipments were shipped to MSA's Prince George, British Columbia facility to expedite analysis times. At either lab the entire sample was dried, crushed to 2mm and riffle split into nominal 500 g subsample jars for analysis (prep code CRU-CPA).  Sample split jars were then analysed for gold using PhotonAssayTM (CPA-Au1). If additional nominal 500-gram PhotonAssay TM analysis splits are conducted for a given samples results from all splits are combined on a weight average basis. All initial PhotonAssay TM samples will undergo further analysis for a suite of 48 elements (IMS-230), with pulverization of jar contents to 85% passing 75um (PPU-510), with four acid digestion and ICP-MS finish.  QA/QC procedures for the drill program included insertion of a certificated reference material every 20 samples, blanks at rate of approximately every 25 samples and a field duplicate sample (split of the 1.5 m original sample) every 25 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits   Samples are placed in sealed and security tagged bags and shipped directly to the MSA facility in Fairbanks, Alaska, utilizing strict Chain of Custody protocols.   On behalf of Tectonic Metals Inc.,  Tony Reda  President and Chief Executive Officer  For further information about Tectonic Metals Inc. or this news release, please visit our website at www.tectonicmetals.com or contact Investor Relations, toll-free at 1.888.685.8558 or by email at [email protected]. Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, Historical Information and Visual Observations This news release contains "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" (collectively, "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. All statements herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are often, but not always, identified by words such as "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "potential," "target," or similar terminology, or that events or conditions "may" or "will" occur.   Forward-looking statements in this release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the potential for mineralization at Tectonic's projects; the nature, scope, and timing of future exploration activities; the interpretation of geological observations; the possible size or scale of mineralized systems; the receipt of regulatory approvals, and the anticipated benefits of current and future exploration programs. This release also refers to historical information, including results from past exploration activities and placer production figures. Such historical information has not been independently verified by Tectonic, may not be reliable, and should not be relied upon as current, NI 43-101 compliant data In addition, this release contains, detailed geological notes, and descriptive observations such as alteration styles, mineralogy and visible gold. These observations are preliminary in nature, may not be representative of the entire interval or system, and should not be relied upon as a guarantee of mineralized assay results or as the basis for any investment decision. Investors and readers are cautioned that visual estimates, core photographs, and geological descriptions are not substitutes for laboratory assay results and do not demonstrate the economic viability of any mineral deposit. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They are based on a number of assumptions made as of the date such statements are provided, including, among others: assumptions regarding future gold and other metal prices; currency exchange and interest rates; favourable operating and political conditions; timely receipt of permits and regulatory approvals; availability of labour, equipment, and services; stability of financial and capital markets; availability of financing on acceptable terms; accuracy of exploration data and geological models; and the ability to successfully advance planned exploration programs. Many of these assumptions are beyond the control of Tectonic and may prove to be incorrect. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These risks include, without limitation: risks inherent to mineral exploration and development; volatility of commodity prices; changes in laws, regulations, and policies; delays or inability to obtain required approvals and permits; availability of financing; general economic, political, and market conditions; labour disputes and shortages; equipment and supply risks; environmental and social risks; competition; inaccuracies in exploration results or geological interpretations; and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's continuous disclosure filings. Although management believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, there can be no assurance they will prove to be correct. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, historical information, or preliminary visual geological observations. Actual results and future events may differ materially from those anticipated. All forward-looking statements contained in this news release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Tectonic disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws. Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.  SOURCE: Tectonic Metals Inc.
