(\"Tectonic\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V:TECT)(OTCQB:TETOF) today announced results from regional exploration drilling at four target areas on the Company's flagship 99,800-acre Flat Gold Project in Southwest Alaska. These results are highlighted by the discovery of at-surface, high-grade gold mineralization at the Black Creek Intrusion Target located six kilometres (\"km\") north of the Company's core Chicken Mountain intrusion.Tectonic drill hole CMR25-059 returned 4.50 g/t Au over 48.77 metres (\"m\"), including a high-grade core of 7.79 g/t Au over 24.38 m with 15.19 g/t Au over 6.10 m, starting from surface . At present the intercepts are reported as downhole lengths, as insufficient data exists to determine true widths. Mineralization occurs as quartz veinlets and stringers hosted in hornfelsed, oxidized silltstones and intermediate dykes along the eastern contact of the Black Creek. This represents Tectonic's first-ever drilling at Black Creek and marks the first drilling in the area since 2003, confirming a significant new gold zone that expands the known footprint of Flat's reduced intrusion-related gold system (\"RIRGS\").Assay results from 20 exploration drill holes (3 diamond core holes and 17 reverse circulation (\"RC\") holes) targeting regional intrusion targets, Black Creek, Jam, Golden Apex and the northern extension of the Alpha Bowl, are reported herein.HIGHLIGHTSBlack Creek is one of six kilometre-scale intrusion targets within the Flat volcano-plutonic complexTectonic's first-ever drilling at Black Creek delivers: 4.50 g/t Au over 48.77 metres, including 7.79 g/t Au over 24.38 metres and 15.19 g/t Au over 6.10 metres from surfaceHigh-grade gold drilled at Black Creek six kilometres north of Chicken Mountain and confirming the Flat gold system is not confined to a single intrusionHigh-grade gold intersected in hornfelsed sediments confirms a new prospective host rock, expanding target potential across other hornfels-be...
