Tectonic’s President & CEO, Tony Reda, commented, “Current challenging market conditions in no way reflect or diminish the potentially game-changing, district-scale opportunities Tectonic’s projects offer. The reality is that the Tectonic team has never been more excited to get into the field and drill test some of the best targets the Company has generated to date. As we close this first tranche of our financing, I want to express my gratitude for the continuing support of Crescat Capital and Doyon, Ltd., whose commitment and belief in our process and targets provide us with a solid exploration foundation to build upon. We are truly blessed to have great shareholders. As we launch our 2022 field season, we are primed and focused on our mission to find a mine.”
The Offering

Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.10 per Common Share and expire two years from the closing date of the Offering.
The Warrants are subject to an acceleration clause whereby if the volume-weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) is C$0.20 or greater for a period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days (whether or not trading occurs on all such days), Tectonic has the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to 30 days from the date of issuance of a news release by Tectonic announcing the accelerated exercise period.
