VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 15, 2024 / Tectonic Metals Inc. ("Tectonic" or the "Company") (TSX-V:TECT)(OTCQB:TETOF) today announced a C$3,000,000 non-brokered private placement of units ("the Offering") lead by strategic shareholder, Crescat Capital ("Crescat"). Up to C$2,500,000 of the Offering is structured to take advantage of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption ("LIFE") whereby common shares issued pursuant to the exemption will be freely tradeable listed equity securities not subject to any hold period (see below).

Kevin Smith, CEO & Chief Investment Officer of Crescat Capital, Tectonic's largest shareholder, commented,

"Tectonic is one of our top ten holdings in the Crescat portfolio. Our support for Tectonic and their Flat Project is underscored by us doubling our ownership level to 22.3% in the company last year. We are happy to be deploying more capital in advance of the second year of drilling as Flat truly represents a rare opportunity offering a tremendous amount of scale in a quality jurisdiction."

Dr. Quinton Hennigh, Technical Director of Crescat Capital, commented,

"Recent metallurgical test results indicate gold mineralization appears to be free-milling and readily amenable to low-cost heap leach processing. Such a large, metallurgically friendly deposit is highly desirable to an industry in need of such discoveries. The current exploration season marks only the second year that Tectonic has drilled their Flat Project. We are very keen to see the Company drill test the multiple new kilometer-scale targets Tectonic has recently delineated. We believe the Company's exploration progress at their Flat Gold Project has the potential to demonstrate the presence of a tier-one gold asset."

Tony Reda, President & CEO of Tectonic, commented,

"With only one year of drilling under our belt, we are literally just getting started in truly exposing what we believe to be the next tier one gold opportunity at the Flat Gold Project. We currently have 1.8 kms of drilled mineralized strike at Chicken Mountain alone, which is one of six district-scale intrusion targets at the Flat. To date, every hole drilled at Chicken Mountain for a total of 74 holes intersected gold mineralization and roughly half of these drill holes ended in mineralization even as deep as 300 m vertical. Although this already demonstrates multi-million-ounce potential, we are not satisfied and now going after newly identified kilometer-long drill targets. These new targets boast not one piece of evidence, but rather multiple layers of geological evidence stacked on top of one another, such as gold-in-soil anomalies coincident with geophysical anomalies, structural corridors, lineaments, placer gold drainages and proven gold in nearby historical drilling and trenching. The compelling evidence points to one thing: it's time to drill here."
