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.

51383930.3

4

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 February 16, 2023, the Company announced metallurgical test results from the Company's Flat Gold project (the "Flat Project"), an intrusion-hosted, bulk tonnage gold system located in southwestern Alaska. Exceptional results prompted Tectonic to conduct a follow-up bottle roll test at a coarser crush. The success of Tectonic's metallurgical program warrants investigating column leach testing as a next step to determine if the mineralization at the Flat Project is amenable to heap leaching.

January 24, 2023, the Company announced its decision to terminate the mineral lease agreement on the Company's Seventymile Gold project in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement with Doyon, Limited.

Concurrent Financing

In addition to the LIFE Units offered in connection with the Offering, the Company will also offer up to 9,090,909 units of the Company ("Hold Units") at a price of $0.11 per Hold Unit by way of private placement (i) in the Qualifying Jurisdictions pursuant to the "accredited investor" exemption from the prospectus requirements in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions; and (ii) in the United States pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements under Rule 144A and/or Regulation D of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, for additional aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to $1,000,000 (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 $0.15 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date. The Hold Units will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.

Material facts

Certain insiders of the Company, including Crescat Capital, have disclosed their intention to participate in the Offering and the Concurrent Financing. Such participation constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under 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 61-101 contained 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.

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.

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.
