CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Offering Document contains certain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements, as defined in applicable securities laws (collectively referred to herein as "forward-lookingstatements"). These statements relate to future events or the Company's future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "expects", "confirm" and similar expressions, or the negatives of such words and phrases, or state that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "should", "might", or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in such forward- looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Offering Document speak only as of the date of this Offering Document or as of the date specified in such statement. Specifically, this Offering Document includes, but is not limited to, forward-looking statements regarding: the Company's expectations with respect to the use of proceeds and the use of the available funds following completion of the Offering, the completion of the Offering, if it is to be completed at all; the expected Closing Date; the completion of the Concurrent Financing (as defined below); the confirmation of low-cost heap leaching as a viable gold processing and extraction method at the Flat Project (as defined below); and the completion of the Company's business objectives, and the timing, costs, and benefits thereof.

Inherent in forward-looking statements are risks, uncertainties and other factors beyond Tectonic's ability to predict or control. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, risks inherent in base and precious metal exploration, price volatility, changes in debt and equity markets, timing and availability of external financing on acceptable terms or at all, the uncertainties involved in interpreting geological data and confirming title to Tectonic's properties, the possibility that future exploration results will not be consistent with the Company's expectations, increases in costs, environmental compliance, changes in environmental and other local legislation and regulation, interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations, changes in economic and political conditions and other risks involved in the minerals exploration and development industry. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments are likely to differ and may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the Offering Document. Such statements are based on a number of assumptions about the following: the availability of financing for Tectonic's exploration and development activities; operating and exploration costs; Tectonic's ability to retain and attract skilled staff; timing of the receipt of regulatory and governmental approvals for exploration projects and other operations; market competition; and general business and economic conditions.

Forward-looking statements may be affected by known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors including without limitation, those referred to in this Offering Document that may cause Tectonic's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any of its future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements herein are qualified by this cautionary statement. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. If Tectonic does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements, unless required by law.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

What is our business?

Tectonic is a mineral exploration company involved directly, and indirectly through its subsidiaries, in the identification, acquisition and exploration of mineral properties primarily in the State of Alaska. The Company's exploration is focused on discovering and delineating gold resources.

Since incorporation, the Company has taken the following steps in developing its business: (i) identified and acquired mineral properties with sufficient merit to warrant exploration; (ii) raised funds to progress the Company's exploration activities on its material property; and (iii) recruited directors, officers and employees with the skills required to operate a junior public mineral exploration property.

Recent developments

On May 16, 2024, the Company announced a multi-phase metallurgical column test program to confirm low-cost heap leaching as a viable gold processing and extraction method at the Chicken Mountain bulk- tonnage intrusion target, one of six district-scale intrusion targets within the 99,840 acre Flat Gold Project ("Flat" or the "Flat Project") in southwestern Alaska.

Concurrent Financing

In addition to the LIFE Units offered in connection with the Offering, the Company is also offering up to 8,333,333 units of the Company (the "Hold Units") at a price of $0.06 per Hold Unit by way of a concurrent non-brokered private placement in (i) the Qualifying Jurisdictions pursuant to the "accredited investor" exemption from the prospectus requirements in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions, (ii) the United States pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements under Rule 144A and/or Regulation D of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), and (iii) certain international jurisdictions pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus and registration requirements under the applicable securities laws of such international jurisdictions (if required), for additional aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to approximately $500,000 (the "Concurrent Financing"). Each Hold Unit will be comprised of one Common Share and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each full warrant, a "Warrant"). The Warrants will be non-transferrable and entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share (a "Warrant Share") at an exercise price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date. The securities comprising the Hold Units will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

Material facts

There are no material facts about the LIFE Units that have not been disclosed in this Offering Document or in any other document filed by the Company in the 12 months preceding the date of this Offering Document and the date the Company's most recent audited annual financial statements were filed.

Certain insiders of the Company, including Crescat Capital, have disclosed their intention to participate in the Concurrent Financing. Such participation constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under

5

Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61- 101"). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101,as neither the fair market value of the Common Shares purchased by insiders, nor the consideration for the Common Shares paid by such insiders, will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

What are the business objectives that we expect to accomplish using the available funds?

The net proceeds of the Offering, together with proceeds raised from the Concurrent Financing, are expected to be used for general corporate and working capital purposes and to advance the Flat Project by completing the drilling and exploration program as well as assays and lab tests/results.

How will we use the available funds?

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this Offering to fund the advancement of the Flat Project and for general corporate and working capital purposes as follows:

Total:

Note:

  1. Funds included in general working capital may be allocated to corporate expenses, business development, and to other activities.

The above noted allocation represents the Company's current intentions with respect to its use of proceeds based on current knowledge, planning and expectations of management of the Company. Although the Company intends to expend the proceeds from this Offering as set forth above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary and may vary materially from that set forth above, as the amounts actually allocated and spent will depend on a number of factors, including the Company's ability to execute on its business plan and financing objectives. The Company has had negative cash flow from operating activities and reported a net loss and comprehensive loss of $9,599,008 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company anticipates that negative operating cash flows will continue as long as it remains in the exploration stage, and to the extent that the Company has negative cash flows from operating activities in the future periods, the net proceeds from this Offering may be used to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods.

The Company's most recent audited and interim financial statements included a going concern note. As the Company is in the exploration stage, the recoverability of amounts for exploration and evaluation of assets and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, continuation of the Company's interest in the underlying resource claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete their development and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. The Offering is intended to permit the Company to continue to explore its properties, and is not expected to affect the decision to include a going concern note in the next annual financial statements of the Company.
