Tectonic Metals Welcomes Dr. Richard Goldfarb, Distinguished Geologist and Global Expert in Orogenic Gold Systems and Alaskan Geology to Technical Advisory Team

One of the Most Influential Figures in Economic Geology Joins Tectonic as Company Ramps Up Exploration at Flat Gold Project in Alaska

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 12, 2025 / Tectonic Metals Inc. ("Tectonic" or the "Company") (TSXV:TECT)(OTCQB:TETOF) is honoured to announce a timely and strategic strengthening of the Company's Technical Advisory Committee with the appointment of Dr. Richard Goldfarb - one of the most respected figures in global economic geology and a leading expert on orogenic and intrusion-related gold systems, including Alaska.

A respected geoscientist with more than 40 years of research and industry experience, including 35 years with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Dr. Goldfarb was awarded the 2023 SEG Penrose Gold Medal, the highest honour in economic geology, recognizing his outstanding lifetime contributions to the science and practice of mineral exploration. He has authored over 250 peer-reviewed publications and led targeting and gold genesis studies for some of the world's largest gold systems across more than 30 countries, including studies of the 39 million ounce Donlin Gold Project, just 40 kilometres ("kms") from Tectonic's Flat Gold Project and located within the same mineral belt. ¹ A foremost authority on the metallogeny of the North American Cordillera and Alaskan gold deposits, Dr. Goldfarb's foundational work has shaped modern exploration models, directly impacting Tectonic's strategy at Flat.

Tony Reda, President and CEO of Tectonic Metals, commented,

"Rich isn't just an advisor - he's part of Alaska's geological DNA. His return is truly a homecoming. He's walked these rocks, studied deposits across these terranes, and understands, better than anyone, the immense gold potential this region holds. From research at Donlin and Flat in the 1980s and 1990s, to shaping global theories on orogenic gold formation, Rich has helped define how the modern exploration industry approaches gold discovery.

Since 1981, he has studied gold systems across Alaska alongside some of the most respected academic and industry geologists - first as a USGS scientist, and more recently as a trusted consultant to exploration and mining companies. Few have contributed more to the global understanding of orogenic gold systems, and certainly none more so in Alaska. His early work helped build the very geological framework we rely on today at Flat.
