VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 16, 2023 / Tectonic Metals Inc. (TSXV:TECT)(OTCQB:TETOF)(FSE:T15B) ("Tectonic" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration company employing a rigorous up-front approach to addressing project risk, economics, community benefits, and the sustainability of exploration projects in the pursuit of genuine mine opportunities, today announced the formation of the Company's Technical Advisory Committee. The Technical Advisory Committee consists of leading professionals in structural economic geology, metallurgical processing, and mining. These experts, who possess extensive experience and align with Tectonic's core values and business model, will play a crucial role in guiding exploration at the Company's Flat Project.

The Company is proud to welcome Fred Lightner and Mark Smith to the Technical Advisory Committee. Both individuals have an impressive track record, having been instrumental in the success of the Kaminak Gold Corporation ("Kaminak") Coffee Gold Project. Their leadership in the Feasibility Study was a catalyst for Goldcorp Inc.'s (now Newmont Corporation) acquisition of Kaminak in 2016 for $520M.

Furthermore, Tectonic has appointed specialist Structural-Economic Geoscientists Dr. Ian Basson, Michael McCall and Dr. Corne Koegelenberg to the Technical Advisory Committee. These individuals, associated with TECT Geological Consulting ("TGC") (www.tectgeological.com), are renowned internationally and have worked on world-class projects and mines across the globe for prominent mining companies, such as Rio Tinto, Barrick, BHP, De Beers, Debswana, Goldfields, Glencore, and Anglo American.

"We are incredibly fortunate to attract such exceptional talent at this stage, which demonstrates our focused approach in considering our projects as mining opportunities rather than mere ‘drill plays'," stated Tony Reda, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tectonic. "By bringing this expertise on board now, we can gain a deeper understanding of the mineralizing systems at our Flat Gold Project and strategically plan our drilling program to fully realize its potential. These additions not only possess expertise in structural geology but also bring economic and operational perspectives to the table for the advancement of our current and future projects. They are expected to make an immediate impact on our Flat Gold Project, further strengthening our team's knowledge and expertise in all key areas of exploration and mining. This impressive roster of top professionals reflects Tectonic's commitment to excellence and positions the Company for continued success in the exploration and mining industry."
