(\"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, meta...
