[{"type":"text","content":"Tectonic Launches Metallurgical Test Program at Flat Gold Project, AlaskaVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 7, 2022 / Tectonic Metals Inc. (TSXV:TECT)(OTCQB:TETOF)(FSE:T15B) (the \"Company\" or \"Tectonic\") today announced the initiation of a baseline metallurgical testwork program on the Company's Flat Gold Project (\"Flat\"), an intrusion-hosted, bulk tonnage gold system located in southwestern Alaska, 40km north of the Donlin Gold Project (\"Donlin\"), owned equally by Barrick Gold Corporation (GOLD, ABX) and NOVAGOLD Resources Inc. (NG). Metallurgical samples were selected by Tectonic from historically drilled diamond core samples with the objective of investigating the potential for free-milling gold mineralization at Flat, and more specifically, within the Chicken Mountain Zone (\"CMZ\").Images detailing the metallurgical testwork and target area may be found here.Tony Reda, Tectonic President & CEO, commented: \"Metallurgical testing is one of the most critical steps a company can take in successfully transforming an exploration-stage project into a profitable mining opportunity.

At Flat, we are blessed with historical work, including soil sampling, trenching, and drilling, that suggests the presence of a large mineralizing gold system. With that box ticked and given our business model, it only makes sense that we de-risk Flat as quickly as possible with metallurgical testing to add value quickly and provide a tremendous amount of insight into the processing amenability of the Flat gold mineralization, which in return will shape how we target and explore Flat going forward.\"More on the Flat Metallurgical ProgramThe metallurgical testwork is being undertaken by Base Metallurgical Laboratories, Kamloops, British Colombia, under the supervision of Tectonic's consulting Metallurgist, Mr. Jeet Basi, Mining and Mineral Process Engineer, who has over 15 years of technical leadership experience in global public mining companies, including Newmont, Goldcorp and Teck Resources.
