TECTONIC RAISES OVER C$92 MILLION; COMPLETES UPSIZED PRIVATE PLACEMENT WITH FULL OVER-ALLOTMENT EXERCISED

Tectonic Metals Inc. has successfully closed the company's previously announced upsized private placement offering, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $92,033,975, which includes the full exercise of the agents' overallotment option. The offering underscores the support from large, established and highly respected institutional investors in Tectonic's strategy and the potential of the company's flagship Flat gold project in Alaska.

"Raising over $92-million for a pre-resource exploration company is rare and deeply humbling," said Tony Reda, president and chief executive officer of Tectonic Metals. "This level of support reflects a shared conviction in the potential of the Flat gold project and in our team's ability to execute. We do not take that trust lightly. Every dollar represents belief in our vision and a responsibility we take seriously. We are committed to advancing Flat with discipline, technical excellence and an unwavering focus on creating meaningful returns for our shareholders."

Under the offering, the company issued an aggregate of 42,806,500 common shares at a price of $2.15 per common share. The offering comprised a brokered offering, led by 3L Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets and SCP Resource Finance LP, as co-lead agents and joint bookrunners, on behalf of a syndicate which included Research Capital Corp., and a non-brokered offering.

This transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the company is not listed or quoted on any of the stock exchanges or markets listed in Subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, and neither the fair market value of the securities distributed nor the consideration received from related parties (as defined under MI 61-101) for the securities issued under the offering exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.

In connection with the brokered offering, the company paid cash commissions in the aggregate amount of $4,271,125.50 (excluding applicable taxes), representing: (i) 6 per cent of the gross proceeds of the brokered offering, other than the gross proceeds raised from certain sales pursuant to a president's list; and (ii) 2.0 per cent of the gross proceeds raised from president's list sales. The commission is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
